FAQs

What is Virizion based on?

Virizion seems to be somewhat based on the character of Aramis from The Three Musketeers. Like Aramis, Virizion is quite skilled at swordplay.

Is Virizion the strongest Sword of Justice?

No, while Virizion is one of the strongest Pokemon overall, it is not the strongest member of the Swords of Justice. That honor goes to Terrakion.

Can Virizion be put to sleep?

Yes, but only with specific moves. Virizion is a Grass type, which makes him immune to powder moves. The only way of putting a Virizion to sleep is to use Thunder Wave or Hypnosis.

Who is better: Cobalion or Virizion?

Since Cobalion and Virizion have almost identical base stats, it comes down to preference. Cobalion has a 129 Defense and 72 Special Defense, while Virizion’s stats are flipped. The rest of the base stats are identical for the two Legendary members of the Swords of Justice.

What gender is Virizion?

Like all Pokemon, it can be male or female. However, Virizion is most likely a male because it, unlike others, is based on a character from The Three Musketeers, Aramis, who is a male. Most other Pokemon are not based on gendered characters.

Conclusion

Virizion is one of the most powerful Pokemon there are. A member of the Legendary Swords of Justice, it is tremendous with a sword and is a very fast Pokemon. It does not evolve, but the unevolved form is right up there and even ahead of many fully evolved Pokemon. Virizion is a doe-like Pokemon, but it is certainly as strong as a buck. Catching it may be difficult, but it is definitely a great addition to a collection.
