Virizion Weakness in Pokemon Go

Virizion is a Grass and Fighting-type Pokemon, giving it a ton of different weakn🍎esses. The Gen 5 Legendary is weak to Fire, Fairy, Psychic, Poison and Ice-type moves. However, Flying-type attacks deal four times the damage.

Virizion Counters in Pokemon Go

With the Virizion weaknesses we've outlined, trainers should r𓆉eally consider bringing a full team of Flying t꧙ypes, especially with two viable Mega Pokemon that can fill that role.

Mega Charizard Y and Mega Pidgeot are 🦄perfect to anchor a team of Flying types to take down Virizion as fast as possible. Other Flying types like Yveltal, Moltres and Lugia aꦅre perfect non-Mega options to take into battle.

While there are other powerful types that can deal super effectiꦡve damage to Virizion, ⛎Flying is the way to go. If Flying types aren’t an option for you, Psychic types are the second most-powerful type in Pokemon Go to counter Viriziono.

Mega Latios and Latios are powerful Psychic-type Legendaries while Mega Alakazam can really put a hurting on Virizion. Non-Mega option൲s for Psychic teams include L🧜ugia and Mewtwo.

Her💫e is a list of Virizion counters that trainers can use in Pokemon Go.

Along with the above𝔍 counters, trainers should also be aware of the moves Virizion can use in Pokemon Go.

Virizion has two Fast Attacks, and both are pretty inconsequential. Quick Attack is a Normal move that won’t deal any super effective damage while Zen🎀 Headbutt is a Psychic-type attack that would deal a lot of damage to Poison types but only neutral to Flying types and Psychic types resist it.

That gives Dark and Flying types like Yveltal and Honchkrow a leౠg up in battle against Virizion, but when it coꦿmes to the Legendary’s Charged Attacks it is a bit of a different story.

Close Combat (Fighting) and Leaf Blade (Grass) won’t cause Flying or Psychic types any problems but Stone Edge will. Tꦑhe Rock-type attack deals s🌺uper effective damage to Flying Pokemon. However, the one-third chance the Virizion you’re facing off against has this move doesn’t overshadow the benefit of using Flying Pokemon.

How to catch Shiny Virizion in Pokemon Go

Virizion can be caught in Raids as a Shiny but requires a bit of luck.&nbs💧p;

Trainers who are hunting a Shiny Virizion will need to battle as many Five-Star Raids as long as Virizion is in them. To help with this, there is a special Raid Hour featuring Virizion happening on December 7 from 6-7 p.m. local time.&nbsꦏp;

Trainers can pick up a free Raid Pass once per day by entering a Gym, and they can purchase more Raid Passes in the in-game shop.ꦕ
