Zoroark

Zoroark (Japanese:ゾロアーク Zoroark) is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation V that is the evolution of Zorua. It has the ability Illusion.

In Gen. 5 it can only be obtained by either evolving a Zorua, though it could once be obtained through an event by transferring either a Shiny Entei, Suicune, or Raikou. By bringing the legendary with you in your party, you can initiate a event where you get to face a girl in a trailer located in Lostlorn Forest, who has what seems to be one of the three Legendary Beasts. Attacking it, however, reveals that its actually a Zoroark, and can be captured. When caught, it will know the moves Fury Swipes, Faint Attack, Scary Face, and Taunt. In Gen. 6 players may run into a wild one in the Pokémon Village.

Anime
Zoroark appears in a new Pokémon movie called Zoroark: Master of Illusions. In that movie, Zorua called Zoroark "Meema" (Pronounced Mi-Mah) throughout. It may be Zorua's way of calling Zoroark his mom.

Pokemon Conquest
Zoroark plays a major role in Pokemon Conquest, as the Partner of Kotarō, with a +2 Night Burst.

Evolution
Zoroark is the evolved form of Zorua as of level 30.

Design origins
Zoroark is likely based on the Kitsune of Japanese folklore, a shape-shifting, mythical fox that would trick unsuspecting travelers for fun. This is similar to Ninetales, another Pokémon based on the Kitsune. Zoroark also resembles a Werewolf, a mythological beast that was human but could shape-shift into a wolf or an anthropomorphic wolf-like beast.

Etymology
Zoroark's name comes from zorro, which is Spanish for "fox", and "dark".
