From Tuesday, December 17, at 1:00 p.m. PST to Tuesday, January 7, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. PST (GMT −8), you'll be able to meet Virizion in Pokémon GO raids.
How to beat Virizion?
Of the Grass and Fighting types, Virizion isn't easy to knock down. You will mainly need Pokémon with Flying moves, but Pokémon like Psychic, Fire, Fairy, Ice and Poison will also be strong against it. Groups of 4 or 5 people minimum are needed to beat it (but you can of course try to do the Raid in pairs with very strong Pokémon and a level 40).
