We introduce a local deformation called the virtualized [Formula: see text]-move for virtual knots and links. We prove that the virtualized [Formula: see text]-move is an unknotting operation for virtual knots. Furthermore we give a necessary and sufficient condition for two virtual links to be related by a finite sequence of virtualized [Formula: see text]-moves.
