You cannot build a team around Virizion for the Great League format since its Combat Power (CP) cannot be at or under 1,500. The CP limitation in the Great League (1,500 CP) will prevent you from using creatures with a CP higher than the permissible figure.

Currently, the only way of acquiring this beast is through raids. As a result, Virizion’s CP cannot dip below 1,500. Even with CP rollover via trading, you cannot get one under that limit.
