Trivia
- Zoroark was first revealed by Junichi Masuda as a silhouette in the February 7, 2010 edition of Pokémon Sunday. Its full image was later revealed in the March 2010 issue of CoroCoro, alongside its pre-evolution, Zorua.
- Due to its debut before Generation V in Zoroark: Master of Illusions, it can be seen as a parallel to Lucario, which debuted in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, prior to the release of Generation IV. Unlike Lucario, however, Zoroark was revealed at the same time as its pre-evolved form.
- Coincidentally, they both share the same names in Japanese and English versions of the game, are in the Ground Egg Group and need 1,059,860 Exp. to reach level 100.
- Zoroark and Zorua are the two of the three non-legendary Pokémon to be event-exclusive, discounting Rotom's alternate forms in Platinum. The third one is Phione.
Origin
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. Its facial markings draw from Kabuki and Noh theatre makeup.
Name origin
Zoroark's name comes from zorro, Spanish for "fox", and the English word "dark". Also may come from 悪, aku (evil).
