*X-Scissor is for those pesky Psychic-types, mainly Latios.
*Protect is for scouting Heat Wave, Surf, or Earthquake.
*Close Combat can be used for more power.
*Helping Hand is a good move to have and, can be used to support pokemons like Terrakion.
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

*With Jolly it gets 176 Speed allowing it to outspeed base 100 pokemons managing to outspeed Zapdos and hit it with Stone Edge.
*Leftovers for that extra recovery that can save your life.
*You can use Stone Edge to hit Zapdos which otherwise would wall you, but if you do you lose against Latios.

[SET COMMENTS]
*Special set using the amazing special movepool of Virizion
*Giga Drain is amazing as it gets recovery, and STAB with that high Spe.Atk can really dent some pokemons.
*Focus Blast is obligatory as it hits some threats Giga Drain can’t hit efficiently, namely, Hydreigon, and Scrafty
*You can choose any Hidden Power you want depending what do you want to hit.
*Hidden Power Rock is to hit Flying-types that would otherwise OHKO you with Brave Bird and whatnot.
*Protect is obvious for scouting purposes.
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
*The evs are standard as it outspeeds base 100 pokemons and hits hard, while bulking some hits.
*You can choose various items one of them being Occa Berry for Chandelure, Hydreigon’s Fire Blast.
*Coba Berry helps it resist that awful x4 flying weakness.
*Sitrus Berry is mainly for recovering purposes.
*Timid is for that extra speed you need to outspeed Chandelure and Scarf users, but you can use Modest if you are running Tailwind support.
[Other Options]
*Reflect and Light screen with Light Clay is a good combination as it can setup screens pretty easily.
*Calm Mind can be used with 3 attacking moves, but setup isn’t too good in doubles.
*Life Orb can be used for that extra power.
*Occa, Yache, and Sitrus berry can be used to maximize health and make Virizion bulk some hits.
*Absorb Bulb can be used in a good strategy a partner using Surf, and then being at +1 and proceeding to sweep.
*You can use Quick Guard to protect your teammates while they setup, but Virizion speed ties with Infernape and does not outspeed faster Fake Out users such as Weavile.
[Checks and Counters]
*Zapdos is a big threat to Virizion if you are not packing the right moves.
*Flying-types in general can wall Virizion if you are not packing a Coba berry.
* Latias and Latios can bulk a X-scissor and retaliate with HP Fire.
