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.

Save before battling. If you accidentally faint it or run out of Poke Balls, you can restart the game and try again.

Have Pokémon with moves that inflict status effects such as Sleep and Paralysis. Status effects will make it easier to catch it.

If possible, a Pokémon with the move False Swipe can help bring Virizion down to 1 HP without making it faint.

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