Zoroark is a Dark-type Pokémon from Generation V. It evolves from Zorua at Level 30. In Generation VIII, it has a Hisuian Form that makes it a Normal/Ghost Type.
Appearance
Unovan
Zoroark is a foxlike Pokémon covered mainly in dark grayish fur. It has a pointed muzzle, red lining around its eyes and mouth, teal eyes, a fluffy black ruff of fur around its neck, and a long, voluminous spiky crimson mane with grey tips. A teal-colored band encircles the bottom part of Zoroark's mane like a ponytail (The ponytail serves as a fox tail). It has three sharp red claws on each of its limbs.
Hisuian
Zoroark's Hisuian form consists of light grey fur on its body, a white mane with red tips resembling tendrils, red spots on its arms and legs and deep navy-blue claws. Its eyes are yellow with red markings on the edge and deep blue inside of its ears.
Natural abilities
Zoroark can create incredibly realistic illusions. However, Zoroark are incapable of physically changing themselves into another form; they are merely capable of casting illusions. They can transform into both people and other Pokémon. When a Zoroark takes the form of a human, it is capable of human speech. They use their illusory powers to protect their lair and their pack. They have the ability to fool a large group of people simultaneously and cameras with their illusion-generating powers.
Zoroark can easily stand on 2 legs, but when they need to run, they resort to all fours.
In the Sun and Moon series, Zoroark can also use its illusionary powers show memories of the past.
Hisuian Zoroark can project illusions from the spiteful power they emit from their long writhing fur, which can inflict both severe physical and psychological harm on their foes, damaging their victims' bodies from both inside and out as well as driving them mad by the terror. Hisuian Zoroark can also make their illusion of humans talking, to the point of easily fooling anyone in order to get food.
