Virizion is a fast Choice Scarf user for Grass teams, being able to revenge kill threats such as Dragon Dance Kyurem-B, Galarian Darmanitan, Choice Scarf Charizard, and Choice Scarf Duraldon. Close Combat is its primary STAB attack and most spammable move, taking on the aforementioned Ice- and Steel-type Pokemon. It also can hit Normal- and Dark-type Pokemon such as Indeedee, Diggersby, Tyranitar, Weavile, Bisharp, and Hydreigon. Stone Edge mainly allows it to revenge kill Choice Scarf Charizard, which is a menace to Grass teams, as well as being able to hit an assortment of Flying- and Fire-type Pokemon such as Togekiss, Noivern, Cinderace, Darmanitan, and Chandelure. Megahorn specifically picks up an OHKO on Celebi, while Smart Strike OHKOes Alolan Ninetales, preventing Aurora Veil from being set up. Sunny Day allows Virizion to support its offensive teammates on Grass teams centered around the sun. Toxic allows it to punish Pokemon that can switch into its attacks such as Mandibuzz and Dragapult. Choice Scarf, alongside a Jolly nature and maximum Attack and Speed investment, allow it to act as best a revenge killer as possible. The main uses for Virizion should be to come in and kill a threat for the team or set the sun for its teammates.

All of Virizion's teammates appreciate its ability to revenge kill threats such as Dragon Dance Kyurem-B and Choice Scarf Charizard. Virizion itself appreciates Ferrothorn's ability to set up entry hazards such as Stealth Rock and Spikes, allowing it to break through foes more easily. It also enjoys Ferrothorn's ability to take on Fairy-type Pokemon such as Mimikyu and Grimmsnarl. Appletun and Ferrothorn can act as defensive pivots for Virizion and provide Leech Seed support while the former can switch into Fire-type attacks for it as well. Teammates such as Venusaur and Shiftry appreciate its ability to keep faster foes in check outside of the sun. On the flip side, Virizion appreciates Venusaur and Shiftry's ability to relieve its duty as sole revenge killer under the sun. It also appreciates Venusaur's ability to take on Fairy-type Pokemon such as Primarina and Hatterene, while Shiftry can take care of Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokemon such as Mew, Jirachi, and Dragapult. Whimsicott can switch into Dragon-type attacks and can take them on with Moonblast, as well as providing support with Encore, locking setup Pokemon such as Kyurem-B into Dragon Dance. Celebi and Venusaur are strong special attackers that can break physical walls for Virizion such as Corviknight and Toxapex thanks to their coverage in Weather Ball and Earth Power.

Would specify that it can revenge kill faster threats, as well as that the fact that they're big threats to Grass teams. Specify that it needs chip to revenge kill Kyurem-B.

Close Combat hitting Normal-type Pokemon should be mentioned.

Give a usage tip relating to how it's pretty weak and how you should use it then. I think it's good to specify that Virizion should generally only try to come in to revenge kill things or set sun.

Ferrothorn and Appletun should be talked about as a defensive core to switch into attacks for a Choice locked Virizion.

Remove Dhelmise.
