Why don't Virizion movesets include X-Scissor?

I mean, X-Scissor covers Psychic types and Psychic types are extremely common… and Psychic types are supereffective to Virizion.

well, virizion is an interesting case for this, but i’ll lay things out.

virizion has the dual typing of grass/fighting, giving it a handful of weaknesses.being commonly used as an offensive pokemon, dual STAB automatically is thrown in first.

( so for physical sets where you might would see x-scissor, you would be starting a bit like this )

STAB moves — leaf blade and sacred sword / close combat

so then you have 2 slots for coverage or support.

well, while x-scissor may cover psychic types.STONE EDGEcovers flying types ( 4X weakness )andcovers fire types ( regular weakness )

and then the last slot is commonly used for a supporting move, such as swords dance, work up ( mixed sets ) or even some times roar.

so x-scissor is normally blown back to the site, due to there being better options available.

it being a coverage move, gets outclassed by stone edge.

and that’s pretty much it. hope that cleared things up a bit.
