[[Category:Dark-type Pokémon]][[Category:Generation V Pokémon]] [[Category:Black Pokémon]]Zoroark (Japanese:ゾロアーク Zoroark) is a Dark-type Pokémon and is the only evolution of Zorua. It is a Generation V pokémon that first appeared in the Pokemon Black and White. It has the ability Illusion. Zoroark can be obtained in Pokemon Black and White only if you have one of the shiny Legendary Beasts from movie 13 and will know the moves Fury Swipes, Faint Attack, Scary Face, Taunt, and a new move called Night Burst. Another way of obtaining Zoroark is to level up a Zorua to level 30. It also learns a new move called Hone Claws.
It can only be obtained by either evolving a Zorua or 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 who has what seems to be one of the three legendary dogs. Attacking it, however, reveals that its actually a Zoroark, and can be captured.
Appearance
Zoroark is the bipedal fox-like Pokémon, and mainly grayish-brown in coloration with red and black accents. It has a pointed snout and ears, the insides of which have red coloration. Zoroark also has some red rimming its eyes and mouth which gives the illusion of a constant smile. Zoroark has a large, voluminous mane, primarily red in coloration but with black tips. The mane also somewhat resembles a ponytail, as a greenish bangle down its length separates a mass of the mane from the lower portion. Zoroark has a black ruff on its upper body, pointed at the shoulders from which its arms extend. Its upper arms are thin, whereas its lower arms, while still slim, are bulkier. The arms have spiky extensions of fur at the shoulders, and Zoroark's three claws, as well as the claws on its feet, are red in coloration.

- It may be similar to Generation IV's Lucario as it was released in similar circumstances.
- Zoroark is likely based on 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 kitsune. It also resembles a werewolf, Which is half man and half wolf, due to the fact that it is an anthropomorphic canid, like most werewolves. Its large claws are also werewolf-like.
- Zoroark's name comes from zorro, Spanish for "fox", and "dark".
- There is only one trainer that owns a Zoroark, and that is N during the player character's final battle with him.
