For this Pokemon Sword and Shield Virizion guide, we will be walking you through the necessary details concerning a legendary pokemon introduced in the Crown Tundra DLC, Virizion.
Pokemon Sword and Shield Virizion

These legendries are hidden and will have to be discovered through a painstaking process that we like to call ‘tracking’.
How to Capture Virizion
After you discover your first footprints outside of Freezington in Crown Tundra, you will find Sonia to further assist you out in discovering the rest of them.
Throughout the hunt for Cobalion, Virizion and Terrakion, you’ll have to find footprints exclusive to the specific Pokemon. After discovering a total of 50, the Pokemon will spawn somewhere in the region.
Virizion’s footprints are discoverable in the Giants Bed, and all areas found near this specific place.
