Should I run substitute or Hidden Power[Ice] on Virizion?
Always HP ice, I don't even think sub-Virizion is viable.

Is this specially defensive? Well then, depending on what moves you already have, then fire punch, stealth rocks, or protect.
I already have:
Fire Punch
Iron Head

And I don't need SR.

You could always give him Secret Power if the problem with Body Slam is that he's on a gen IV game. Of course, if he's on a gen V game, your best bet would be to go with U-turn or one of the options someone else listed.
You can use Thunder as a alternative. It isn't as accurate, but it should work (it hits Gyarados, Politoed and friends for SE damage too).
This isn't a good idea unless I want to go mixed.
By the way guys, what are the details of Secret Power over Gen V wifi?
Is there anywhere I can find good advice on teambuilding for B/W? Most of the stuff I've seen on site is in Outdated, and I'm trying to climb out of a ranking "hole" right now.
EDIT: @benJAMIN: Try a MixPalkia or a ScarfMin. Both of them are hard Groudon counters and force Darkrai to switch.
What are the most notable sweepers in the OU metagame that utilize Substitute?
Ones that I can think of are Breloom, Gengar, and Kingdra. Any others?
I assume Zen Mode Darmanitan is referred to as Darmanitan-Z, right? What about Meloetta's formes (Aria and Pirouette); are they Meloetta-A and Meloetta-P?
