Zoroark (Japanese: ゾロアーク Zoroark) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves from Zorua starting at level 30.
Zoroark, along with its pre-evolution, Zorua, were the first Generation V Pokémon to be revealed to the public, on February 10, 2010. Zoroark was first revealed as a silhouette before being revealed in full.
Biology
Physiology
Zoroark is a bipedal fox-like Pokémon, and mainly grayish-brown in coloration with crimson 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. Zoroark has a large, voluminous mane, primarily red in coloration but with black tips. The mane also somewhat resembles a ponytail, as a teal 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 elbows, and Zoroark's three claws, as well as the claws on its feet, are red in coloration.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Zoroark are capable of creating illusions that are indistinguishable from reality, deluding many people simultaneously. However, unlike Pokémon that are able to Transform, Zoroark is incapable of physically changing itself into another form; it is merely capable of casting illusions. Thus, Zoroark's type and stats do not change when casting an illusion, and it is unable to use the moves or abilities of the Pokémon that it is pretending to be. They can, however, make convincing illusions of attacks, and these illusions are extremely realistic, to the point that even cameras are fooled and one may believe they're being physically affected, though the illusion does not have any direct physical effect. Zoroark, along with its pre-evolution, are the only Pokémon capable of learning Night Daze.
Behavior
Zoroark live in groups, where unity is strong. They are extremely protective of those they care about and are willing to go to any lengths to keep them safe, including risking their own life, and also hold grudges on those who harm their loved ones. Zoroark has the ability to create illusions to confuse foes, and will even create illusory landscapes to hide its territory. Zoroark apparently will hide their Zorua young in their mane to protect them and carry them around.
Habitat
Zoroark appears to live in forests, and will create an illusory landscape to protect its den. One particular Zoroark resides in Lostlorn Forest, using its illusions to betwitch both Trainers and Pokemon to protect its lair.
Diet
In the anime
Major appearances
Zoroark has a central role in the 13th Pokémon movie, Zoroark: Master of Illusions. She is blackmailed by Grings Kodai to attack Crown City under the guises of Suicune, Entei, and Raikou in exchange of Zorua's safety, unaware of the fact that Zorua managed to escape. Zorua refers to Zoroark as "Meema".

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 Field Egg Group and need 1,059,860 Exp. to reach level 100.
- Zoroark and Zorua are the only two non-legendary Pokémon to be event-exclusive, discounting Rotom's alternate forms in Platinum.
- Though evolving from Zorua at level 30, pre-release information from CoroCoro suggested it would evolve from Zorua by a method different from known evolution methods. What this method might have been if it were true is unknown.
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. It also resembles a werewolf, due to the fact that it is an anthropomorphic canid, like most werewolves. Its large claws are also werewolf-like. Zoroark may also be based on ninjas due to its special ability to use and fight with illusions, which can be considered a genjutsu (illusion technique).
Name origin
Zoroark's name comes from zorro, Spanish for "fox", and the English word "dark". Also may come from 悪, aku (evil).
