How to Obtain Victini in Pokémon Sword and Shield’s The Crown Tundra Expansion

Pokémon Sword and Shield’s second expansion, The Crown Tundra, introduces a plethora of new Pokémon, including the beloved Victini. This guide will walk you through the steps needed to add Victini to your Pokédex!

1. Locate the Legendary Tree

To kick-start your quest for Victini, head to the Crown Tundra and make your way towards the Frigid Sea. Once there, locate the Legendary Tree by following the path that leads up to it. The tree will be on your right-hand side.

2. Interact with the tree

Approach the Legendary Tree and interact with it by pressing the A button. This will initiate a short cutscene featuring Victini. Pay close attention to the cutscene, as it will provide you with valuable information about where to find Victini elsewhere in the Crown Tundra.

3. Search the Crown Tundra

After watching the cutscene, it’s time to embark on a search for Victini within the Crown Tundra. Explore the various areas and keep an eye out for Dynamax Dens that have a red beam of light coming out of them. These dens indicate that there is an active Pokémon inside.

4. Observe the Footprints

Approach the Dynamax Dens with the red beam and investigate the footprints nearby. Interact with them to discover clues about which Pokémon is hiding inside. By following these footprints, you’ll eventually come across Victini.

5. Capture Victini

Once you’ve tracked down Victini, engage it in a battle and deploy your best strategies to weaken it. Then, use your Poké Balls to capture this adorable and powerful Pokémon.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully added Victini to your Pokémon Sword and Shield collection!
