===Origin===
Victini's appearance seems to be based on うさぎリンゴ ''usagi-ringo'', a method of cutting apple slices to make them look similar to rabbits. Conceptually, it might draw inspiration from {{wp|Nike (mythology)|Nike}}, the Greek, winged goddess of victory, or {{wp|Victoria (mythology)|Victoria}}, the Roman equivalent of Nike. Its tail wings may be a reference to Nike's wings.

Its theme of "V" could be linked to it being somewhat of the fifth Generation's mascot, "V" being the Roman numeral for 5. "V" could also derive from {{wp|V sign#The V for Victory campaign and the victory-freedom sign|the initial for victory}}.
