Trivia

• Virizion has the highest Special Defense of all Grass- and Template:Type2 Pokémon.
• Virizion is the only member of the musketeer trio that is not weak to the types of any of the other members. Furthermore, it is the only one that has a type advantage over all of the other members.
• Virizion bears some resemblance to Shaymin and Arceus.

Origin

Virizion appears to be based on the character of Aramis from the novel The Three Musketeers. Like Aramis, it is the best at swordplay. Aramis in the novels was also the most feminine, vain, and romantic, qualities that Virizion possesses relative to its comrades. It also resembles an antelope.

Name origin

Virizion's name may derive from viridian, a bluish-green color. It might also derive from "viridarium", a Latin term for a garden.
