===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 — this may ultimately be reference to "The Big Apple", one of the nicknames for , which the Unova region is based on. Conceptually, it might draw inspiration from , the Greek goddess of victory; or her Roman equivalent, . Its tail wings may be a reference to Nike's wings. Its Fire typing may draw from the concept of the , given the Pokédex describes it as having infinite energy and the eternal flame has been used to represent competition and victory, such as for the . More specifically, given Victini's location on Liberty Garden (inspired by ), it could be a personification of the torch held by the . The torch itself has a large number of symbolic associations and meanings.
Victini's "V" theme could be linked to it being introduced in Generation V, "V" being the Roman numeral for 5. "V" could also be a reference to the .
====Name origin====
Victini is derived from victory, and also possibly destiny, teeny, or tiny.
