Ability | Justified |
Tera Type | |
Held Item | Choice Scarf |
Moveset | ・
Leaf Blade
・ Close Combat ・ Stone Edge ・ Tera Blast |
Has a good range of coverage moves. Outspeeds a lot of the other notable Choice Scarf users. Cannot Terastallize to remove its many weaknesses. |
Ability | Held Item | |
---|---|---|
Justified | Choice Scarf |
Virizion's only ability is Justified. Unfortunately, this is useless in Singles Battles since the opponent will just not use a Dark-type move against Virizion.
The item chosen for this build is a Choice Scarf. This helps Virizion outspeed Pokemon it normally couldn't.
Leaf Blade | Close Combat |
Stone Edge | Tera Blast |
Leaf Blade is its strongest Grass-type STAB move that also has a high chance to land a critical hit.
Close Combat is its strongest Fighting-type STAB move, but it will lower Virizion's defenses every time it's used.
Stone Edge is its main coverage move because, when combined with its STAB attacks, only a small list of Pokemon can resist all three moves.
Tera Blast is used to counter any Terastallized Pokemon on the opponent's side.
Stellar Tera Type Matchup | ||
---|---|---|
Weak to: | (4x) | |
(2x) | ||
Damaged Normally By: |
(1x) | |
Resists: | (0.5x) | |
Stellar is the best Tera Type for this build because it will be the damage of Virizion's attacks once it Terastallizes.
Even though it's a Stellar Type, it will retain the defensive properties of its Grass/Fighting typing.
Stellar Tera Type Match-Ups Explained
A full 252 EVs are placed in Virizion's Attack and Speed to make it hit as hard and fast as possible. The extra 4 EVs are put into its Defense to help round out its bulk.
A Jolly nature is preferred to help Virizion outspeed as many Pokemon as possible.
Zen Headbutt | Used over Tera Blast so that only Gholdengo resists Virizions moveset. |

Damage Dealt by Virizion |
|
---|---|
Item: Punching Glove | Leaf Blade 120 ~ 144 (68.1 ~ 81.8%) Guaranteed 2HKO |
Item: Assault Vest | Close Combat 138 ~ 164 (73 ~ 86.7%) Guaranteed 2HKO |
Game8's Competitive Damage Calculator
Virizion unfortunately doesn't have the greatest Attack stat and it also has many weaknesses. This makes it best suited as a revenge killer who can get quick knockouts on the opponent's low-health Pokemon.
Virizion is best used on teams that need a Choice Attacker with a strong movepool to get counter KOs.
Offensive Lead | Revenge Killer | Physical Attacker |
---|---|---|
Flutter Mane | Virizion | Dragonite |
Flutter Mane is used to get quick and massive damage off on the opponent. If Flutter Mane faints and the opponent is still alive, Virizion can then come in to get a knockout with a speedy Choice Scarf boosted attack.
Dragonite is used as an anchor thanks to its Multiscale and Roost combo making it very difficult to knockout.
Pokemon | Description |
---|---|
Landorus (Therian Forme) | Ranking: ★★★★★
・Comfortably tanks Virizion's attacks, especially after an Intimidate drop. ・Threatens massive damage with a Flying Tera Blast. ▶️ Landorus Therian Best Movesets |
Ogerpon (Hearthflame Mask) | Ranking: ★★★★
・Outspeeds non-Choice Scarfed Virzion sets. ・Fire Tera Ivy Cudgel OHKOs unless Virizion Terastallizes to resist it. ▶️ Hearthflame Ogerpon Best Movesets |
Chien-Pao | Ranking: ★★★
・Icicle Crash is a guaranteed OHKO. ・Survives Close Combat thanks to Focus Sash. ▶️ Chien-Pao Best Movesets |
