Virizion @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Synthesis
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Leaf Blade
Showing great potential in RU and being A+ in the Viability Rankings, Virizion's high Speed stat, incredible Special Defense, and unique typing allow it to check common Pokemon in the tier, such as Registeel, Donphan, and Blastoise. In addition, Justified can guarantee an Attack boost if Virizion switches into a Dark-type move, specifically Knock Off and Dark Pulse, which are pretty common in the tier, turning both Leaf Blade and Close Combat into more powerful STAB moves. Furthermore, Virizion has access to Swords Dance, which increases its Attack by two stages, making it capable of threatening almost the entire metagame. Moreover, thanks to its excellent movepool, Virizion manages to increase its longevity in the game thanks to Synthesis, arising more opportunities to set up with Swords Dance. Finally, Synthesis makes Virizion a more consistent check against Pokemon like Mega Blastoise and Zygarde-10%.
