The final month of Adventures Abound has begun in Pokémon GO. When it comes to Raids, we have the Shiny release of Douse Drive Genesect as well as the return of the Legendary Swords of Justice, new and old features coming to Mega Raids, and Mega Garchomp Raid Day. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Virizion in Tier Five Raids. Let's get into it.
Top Virizion Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Virizion counters as such:
- Mega Rayquaza: Air Slash, Dragon Ascent
- Rayquaza: Air Slash, Dragon Ascent
- Shadow Moltres: Wing Attack, Sky Attack
- Yveltal: Gust, Oblivion Wing
- Mega Pidgeot: Gust, Brave Bird
- Shadow Staravia: Gust, Brave Bird
- Shadow Honchkrow: Peck, Sky Attack
- Shadow Ho-Oh: Flying-type Hidden Power, Brave bird
- Moltres: Wing Attack, Sky Attack
- Shadow Unfezant: Air Slash, Sky Attack
It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Virizion with efficiency.
- Honchkrow: Peck, Sky Attack
- Galarian Articuno: Psycho Cut, Brave Bird
- Apex Purified Lugia: Extrasensory, Aeroblast++
- Staravia: Gust, Brave Bird
- Ho-Oh: Flying-type Hidden Power, Brave bird
- Braviary: Air Slash, Brave Bird
- Incarnate Forme Tornadus: Air Slash, Hurricane
- Unfezant: Air Slash, Sky Attack
- Therian Forme Tornadus: Gust, Hurricane
- Hisuian Braviary: Air Slash, Brave Bird
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Virizion can be defeated with two trainers, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have three or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. If you get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catch, so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.
Shiny Odds & 100% IVs
The Shiny rate for Legendary Pokémon is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Virizion will have a CP of 1727 in normal weather conditions and 2159 in boosted conditions.
