Top 10 Legendary Pokemon

9. Virizion -- Grass / Fighting Type

Along with Cobalion, Terrakion and Keldeo, Virizion is a member of the Swords of Justice -- the most attractive and debonair group to be sure!

A dual-type Grass/Fighting Legendary Pokemon, its form is generally said to be that of a deer-type Pokemon, though by its movement it appears to be more like an antelope than a deer...

The primary element behind its selection for the Top 10 Legendary list is its dual-class -- which is Grass / Fighting -- because being a Grass Type allows Virizion to easily defeat the major threat to the Fighting-Type -- Slowbro and its ilk -- by making very effective use of both Giga Drain and Leaf Blade.

The fact that it also boasts a solid mix of offensive stats (90 each) complimented by its boosting moves (Calm Mind and Swords Dance) all combined, makes Virizion an incredibly powerful combination of utility sweeper -- having both speed and physical presence in that respect.

It should be noted though that, as with all other Pokemon, Virizion has its weaknesses as well: Flying-Type enjoy a decided advantage vs it, and it is weak to direct physical attacks due to its relatively low Base Defense Stat.

That said while it is no tank it is a very effective sword when it is used properly, and a very accessible Legendary thanks to its common presence, which combined with its unique type-combo made it an obvious choice for the list.
