Pokemon Go has introduced one of the Swords of Justice, Virizion, to the mobile game. As such, some trainers may be wondering what the best moveset for this powerful Grass/Fighting-type Legendary is. Let’s go over that.

Pokemon Go Virizion: Best moveset for PvP

Pokemon Go players should equip Virizion with Double Kick as its Fast Move, with Leaf Blade and Sacred Sword as Charged Moves.

All three moves listed above are either Grass or Fighting, which is beneficial for Virizion thanks to the STAB bonus awarded by each move.

Double Kick is the clear winner here for the Fast Move, as it has the best Energy and Power stats overall.

As for the Charged Moves, Leaf Blade has a very efficient DPE in Pokemon Go. Additionally, pairing it with Sacred Sword gives Virizion both a Grass and Fighting-type move in its arsenal.

Pokemon Go Virizion: Best moveset for Raids

Virizion’s best moveset to use in Raids is Double Kick as the Fast Move, with Sacred Sword and Leaf Blade as Charged Moves.

Similar to its use in PvP, Double Kick simply outclasses the other Fast Move options even when used in Raid content.

For the Charged Moves, Sacred Sword is a great move thanks to its low energy cost, STAB, and Damage output. The second Charged Move should go to Leaf Blade for similar reasons.
