As of the writing of this article, Reshiram can only be caught through raids. So, it will always have a Combat Power (CP) that is higher than 1,500.

The Great League format of the GO Battle League has a CP cap of 1,500. Thus, you cannot use Pocket Monsters that have a CP higher than the cap.

Unfortunately, no matter what you do, Reshiram cannot have a CP within the permissible limit of the Great League. So, you cannot build a team with this creature.
