Question

How do I get inside it? Mine is not working because there are rocks at the entrance.

Community Answer

You need to have passed a certain point in the story. You're not far enough into the game if the road is still blocked.

Warnings

If met at level 42, Virizion knows Giga Drain, which may make it difficult to keep it at 1 HP.

Virizion is 4x weak to Flying-type moves, so be wary of an OHKO with moves of this type.

Rock-type Pokémon are weak to two of Virizion's moves, Sacred Sword and Giga Drain.
