Trivia

The moves and retreat cost of this card were misprinted onto a different Victini V card in Japan when it was first distributed as a prize at the 2022 Kyoto Champion's League tournament. This error was addressed in an apology statement uploaded to the official Japanese Pokémon Card website on December 17, 2021.^[1] It was also announced that the error print would be immediately banned across all formats and that any players who received one would have a corrected version mailed to their registered Players Club address.
