[SET COMMENTS]

Virizion's strong STAB options, decent offensive stats, coverage, and great speed tier make it a potent mixed attacker. Leaf Storm is Virizion's best move to hit Calm Mind Reuniclus and Doublade, and it also OHKOes Milotic after Stealth Rock. Close Combat doesn't have any accuracy issues, unlike Focus Blast, and it lets Virizion more easily break past special walls like Registeel and Snorlax. Stone Edge hits Togekiss and catches faster Flying-types like Noivern and Crobat on the switch. It also deals massive damage to Fire-types such as Chandelure and Salazzle. Air Slash hits Pokemon such as Vileplume, Roserade, and Toxicroak. Life Orb alongside 32 Attack EVs ensures the 2HKO on max HP Togekiss with Stone Edge. A Hasty nature is preferred to better handle threats such as Raikou while making it harder for faster special attackers like Noivern to revenge kill Virizion.

Pokemon such as Metagross, Stakataka, and Diancie can take on Noivern and Crobat, which can switch into any of Virizion's attacks and heal up with Roost. Assault Vest Reuniclus can pivot into and recover all damage taken from any of Virizion's moves except Leaf Storm with Regenerator. Therefore, Dark- and Ghost-types such as Incineroar, Chandelure, and Golurk, which can either switch into or threaten Reuniclus and other bulky Psychic-types like Celebi, make good teammates. Pivots such as Noivern, Raikou, and Milotic provide free switches for Virizion and prevent it from getting too quickly worn down by Pokemon like Raikou and Life Orb recoil. Entry hazard support from Metagross, Golisopod, and Seismitoad puts immense pressure on Virizion's switch-ins and somewhat makes up for its average offensive stats. Golisopod and Seismitoad also provide Knock Off support and can remove Heavy-Duty Boots from Noivern and Crobat, allowing Virizion to potentially KO them with Stone Edge after Stealth Rock.

[SET COMMENTS]

Virizion's great speed tier, coverage, and phenomenal special bulk make it a strong wallbreaker and offensive check to dangerous threats such as Raikou, Sharpedo, and Xurkitree. After a Swords Dance boost, Virizion can achieve many important KOs such as an OHKO on Togekiss and a 2HKO on Reuniclus with Stone Edge and Leaf Blade, respectively. Synthesis lets Virizion stay healthy throughout the game while making it a better offensive check to Pokemon such as Raikou and Sharpedo. Zen Headbutt is an option over Stone Edge to more easily get through bulky Poison-types such as Vileplume, Galarian Weezing, and Dragalge, but it misses out on the crucial unboosted 2HKO and boosted OHKO on Togekiss. Life Orb guarantees the 2HKO on Togekiss with Stone Edge. Lum Berry is another option to safely set up on bulky Water-types such as Gastrodon, Seismitoad, and Milotic without risking any status, but the lower damage output compared to Life Orb makes it a less desirable choice.

Pokemon such as Metagross, Stakataka, and Diancie can take on Noivern and Crobat, which can switch into any of Virizion's unboosted attacks and heal up with Roost.

Golisopod and Seismitoad also provide Knock Off support and can remove Heavy-Duty Boots from Noivern and Crobat, allowing Virizion to KO both with Stone Edge after Stealth Rock. Ground-types such as Golurk, Seismitoad, and Gastrodon especially appreciate Synthesis Virizion, since it can cover Electric-types like Raikou and Xurkitree, which either have super effective coverage like Scald and Energy Ball to threaten them or Toxic to cripple them.

With Virizion's great speed tier, coverage, and phenomenal special bulk,(AC) they all add up to make it Virizion a strong wallbreaker and a offensive check to dangerous threats such as Raikou, Sharpedo, and Xurkitree.
