[edit] Game Information

[edit] Original Games

Zoroark appears as an Event Pokémon in Black and White at Lostlorn Forest. The event can be unlocked by the special Legendary Dog Pokémon given out at screenings of the 13th movie, as well as over WiFi and Gamestop to any of the main Generation IV games (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold and Soul Silver), events that have already passed. However, PokéTransfer won't unlock this event. This event can only be unlocked by transferring said event Pokémon by way of a method called the Relocator. Zoroark is at Level 25.

A Zoroark can be obtained in Black 2 and White 2 by evolving the Zorua given to you in Driftveil City.

[edit] Spin-off Games

Zoroark appears at Windmill Way in the Arbor Area in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond. To befriend it, you'll have to defeat it in battle, but the battle takes place at Wish Park. This will also befriend Zorua, but this will also allow you to call Zoroark into battle.

Zoroark can only be obtained by evolving Zorua in Pokémon Conquest.

[edit] Trading Card Game

Zoroark appears in four sets and twice within the Black/White Promos set. Zoroark is listed as a Rare Card in the Black&White, Emerging Powers and Dark Explorers set, and as a Hidden Ultra Rare Card in the Next Destinies set.

[edit] Pokémon Information

[edit] Competitive Battling

Zoroark is a viable option in both the Under-Utilized and Over-Utilized Tiers of Competitive Battling. Anyone who lets their guard down against this Pokémon could be in big trouble, as it has a high Special Attack, Speed and Attack, along with a movepool that covers just enough bases to be dangerous. Fighting-Types are its biggest problem; its low Defenses make it vulnerable to being knocked off if it takes a hit from an attack that has high Base Power.
