[SET]
name: Substitute + 3 Attacks
move 1: Substitute
move 2: Giga Drain
move 3: Close Combat
move 4: Hidden Power Ice / Stone Edge
item: Life Orb
ability: Justified
nature: Hasty / Naive
evs: 92 Atk / 164 SpA / 252 Spe
- Set transforms Virizion from an easily-revenged, difficult-to-set-up sweeper to a mixed attacking check to many offensive and defensive threats with powerful STABs and several key unique resistances, high speed, and good special bulk even when uninvested
- Can switch in and force things like bulky waters, Hippowdon, Blissey, Tyranitar, Salamence, Garchomp, both Landorus varients, Gliscor, and Choice-locked Terrakion out and set up a Substitute
- Giga Drain lets Virizion 2HKO most bulky waters (except Specially Defensive Jellicent and Tentacruel) while tanking weak Ice Beams, as well as Tyranitar, has a 84.38% chance to 2HKO even specially defensive Hippowdon after Stealth Rock, and allows recovery from Substitute and Life Orb recoil
- Close Combat allows Virizion to OHKO Blissey, Tyranitar, Mamoswine, and Magnezone, can 2HKO Ferrothorn and 0 / 0 Jirachi with Stealth Rock, and doesn't suffer from Focus Blast's crippling accuracy
- Hidden Power Ice allows Virizion to OHKO Gliscor, Landorus, Landorus-T, Garchomp, Salamence, Thunderus-T, OHKOs offensive Dragonite and 2HKOs offensive Venusaur after Stealth Rock, and dents Lati@s
- Stone Edge can be used to OHKO Volcarona and can dent Gengar, Gyarados, and Salamence, but losing the ability to lure Dragons, genies, and Gliscor is painful
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- Max speed allows Virizion to speed tie with Terrakion, Keldeo, and Infernape, and outspeed Landorus, Thunderus-T, Garchomp, and base 100s like Salamence and Jirachi
- 164 SpA allows Virizion to OHKO 0/4 Starmie after Stealth Rock, rest put into Attack to power up Close Combat
- Life Orb necessary, as Virizion can't boost, to gain the power to achieve many of its 2HKOs, and powers up Giga Drain recovery as well
- Virizion appreciates entry hazards even more with this set, since it lacks the ability to boost its offences, especially Stealth Rock against Flying- and Fire-types
- Without a Substitute, Virizion is prone to being revenge killed by strong priority users like Mamoswine and Scizor
- Without boosting moves Virizion is unable to punch through tanks it lacks super effective coverage against, such as Skarmory, Reuniclus, defensive Jirachi, and Tentacruel
- Toxicroak resists both STABs and Stone Edge and hits back hard with Ice Punch
- Heatran can deal with bulky steel types and Toxicroak with STAB Fire Blast, resists Flying, Fire, Ice, and Poison, and set up Stealth Rock to help Virizion secure 2HKOs while Virizion takes Ground- and Water-type moves for it and deals with Tyranitar and Blissey
- Rotom-W resists Fire-, Ice-, and Flying-type moves and can deal with Fire-types and Flying-types, as well as Tentacruel and Metagross, while Virizion can absorb Grass moves and lure Dragon-types that resist Rotom-W's STABs and Ground-types that neuter its Volt Switch
- Magnezone resists Flying, Ice, and Poison, and can trap and kill Steel-types that aren't weak to Close Combat, such as Scizor, Forretress, and Skarmory, as well as Tentacruel, while Virizion takes Ground-type moves for it
- A fully-special set can be run to get a little more power out of Giga Drain at the cost of losing the ability to OHKO Blissey, but Focus Blast's accuracy is horrendous
- Virizion can run Hidden Power Fire in its last slot to lure in Scizor, but it loses a lot of coverage and can't speed tie with other 108 pokemon like Terrakion and Keldeo.
- If you don't want to bother with speed ties, you can run 208 Speed evs to outpace Jolly Garchomp and use the rest to juice up Virizion's offenses. Investing in SpA gives you an 81.25% chance to OHKO bulky Starmie with Giga Drain and a 56.25% to 2HKO specially defensive Jellicent, as well as a
86.72% chance to 2HKO 60 / 0 Celebi after Stealth Rock with Hidden Power Ice, while investing in Attack gives a 87.5% chance to OHKO 252 / 136 Kyurem-B after Stealth Rock damage
