I've messed around with Virizion before and I can vouch for it, actually. It's no Cobalion but Grass typing + that Speed tier + Ground/Dark resistance are a massive nuisance for Hippo + Emp balances and teams that over-rely on Scarf Krook. Z-Edge at +2 also only needs a bit of chip to smash its best checks on balance:
+2 252 Atk Virizion Continental Crush (180 BP) vs. 252 HP / 184 Def Amoonguss: 324-382 (75 - 88.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Black Sludge recovery
+2 252 Atk Virizion Continental Crush (180 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Altaria-Mega: 280-330 (96.2 - 113.4%) -- 75% chance to OHKO (does 50-60 to defensive, which isn't hard chip to get)
+2 252 Atk Virizion Continental Crush (180 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Celebi: 305-359 (89.4 - 105.2%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO after Leftovers recovery
Again it's no Cobalion but it arguably has a better matchup versus balance/fat than Coba cause it has an edge over the most common Fighting checks rn
