Iron Leaves may not have the same gargantuan sp. def. as regular Virizion, but it's phys. atk. is much higher at a whopping 130. Plus grass/psychic is a good offense type.
Iron Leaves can learn solar blade, and given that you will be going up against some of the prehistoric paradox mons this could be a strat. A rather gimmicky one but I'd say it would lead to some funny shenanigans.
Electric Terrain not only gives Iron Leaves a boost thanks to quark drive, but it also increases the power of its signature move psyblade. A physical STAB psychic move.
STAB Leaf Blade is always a plus. Also has good coverage in megahorn, close combat/sacred sword, night slash/throat chop, aerial ace, and smart strike.
Super sweet syrup is its main ability which lowers the opponent's evasion stat by 1 stage on switch in. It is rather limited to once per battle but that is something. Can help with double battles.
