ZU Virizion

[missangelic]

Virizion @ Heavy-Duty Boots / Lum Berry
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Rock
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Leaf Blade
- Stone Edge

Virizion deals swift justice to tyrants of ZU like Charizard, Rotom-C, and Mesprit thanks to its excellent Speed and access to Swords Dance. Virizion's respectable bulk provides it several opportunities to set up throughout a game against prominent Grass-types like Arboliva, Brute Bonnet, and Shaymin. Physical walls like Regirock, Hisuian Avalugg, and Orthworm are a cinch for Virizion to cut through with its STAB moves. Stone Edge is vital coverage against Pokemon that resist its STAB moves, namely Charizard and Vikavolt. Lum Berry is a helpful alternative to Heavy-Duty Boots that gives Virizion some more breathing room to set up against status users like Lanturn, Porygon2, and Thunder Wave variants of Mesprit and Rotom-C. Tera Rock removes Virizion's major weaknesses to Fire and Flying in an emergency against Charizard, and it powers up Stone Edge to the point of OHKOing Vikavolt at +2. Even if Virizion cannot sweep itself, fast attackers like Floatzel, Jolteon, and Choice Scarf Mesprit can clean up the teams it weakens. Faster attackers like Choice Specs Jolteon, Hisuian Sneasel, and Sneasel are threatening revenge killers to Virizion, so bulkier Pokemon that check them, including Lanturn, Spiritomb, and Regirock, can create a legendary team with it.

Virizion deals swift justice to tyrants of ZU like Charizard, Rotom-C, and Mesprit thanks to its excellent Speed and access to Swords Dance. Respectable bulk, especially special bulk, gives Virizion's respectable bulk provides it several opportunities to set up throughout a game, and it excels at setting up against prominent Grass-types like Rotom-C Arboliva Rotom-C is fine but you brought it up in intro too, Brute Bonnet, and Shaymin. Virizion's offensive typing makes cutting through physical walls like Regirock, Hisuian Avalugg, and Orthworm a cinch. Just a small note but you lead three sentences with "Virizion..." so restructuring this or leaving it out altogether is better Stone Edge is vital coverage against Pokemon that resist its STAB moves, namely Charizard and Vikavolt.

Good work, a few things to tidy up and consider restructuring - implement and onto GP :)

GP Team done

No changes necessary. Only comment I have as a GP checker is maybe slash in Lum Berry on the set if you're mentioning it as an alternative to Boots.

GP Check 1/1
