THE POKEMON COMPANYThe mighty Virizion is a Legendary Pokemon known for being part of the Swords of Justice. As such, some trainers may be wondering what are the best movesets for this powerful creature in Pokemon Go.
Virizion became a highly sought-after monster to catch in the Unova region and also in Pokemon Go when it first debuted.
Now, even though it has fallen far from grace in the Battle League, it’s still a great Grass/Fighting Legendary to have on your team, so here’s a look at the best movesets you can teach it in Niantic’s game.
Best moveset for PvP
Pokemon Go players should equip Virizion in PvP with Double Kick as its Fast Move and Leaf Blade as its Charged Move.
Double Kick is the clear winner here for the Fast Move, as it has the best energy gain and good power stats overall. Plus, it benefits from STAB and pairs nicely with the chosen Charged Move.
As for the Charged Move, Leaf Blade is one of the best attacks in Pokemon Go thanks to its low energy cost and high DPE – and also benefits from STAB.
Additionally, those who can afford it can get Sacred Sword as a secondary Charged Move, as it leaves Virizion with both a Grass and Fighting-type move in its arsenal.
THE POKEMON COMPANYBest moveset for Raids
Virizion’s best moveset to use in Raids is Double Kick as the Fast Move and Sacred Sword as the Charged Move.
Similar to its use in PvP, Double Kick simply outclasses the other Fast Move options even when used in Raid encounters.
For the Charged Move, Sacred Sword is a great choice thanks to its low energy cost, STAB, and Damage output.
In Raids it’s always better to use only one type when taking dual-type Pokemon to the battle arena. However, in case the opponent requires it, you can swap Sacred Sword for Leaf Blade.
