(Japanese: ゾロアーク Zoroark) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Zorua, though the method by which it does so is currently unknown.

It, along with its pre-evolution, were the first Generation V Pokémon to be revealed to the public, on February 10, 2010.

Biology

Physiology

Zoroark is a 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. 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.

Trivia

Zoroark's silhouette on Pokémon Sunday

• 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 the thirteenth movie, it can be seen as a parallel to Lucario, which debuted in the eighth movie, prior to the release of Generation IV. Unlike Lucario, however, Zoroark was revealed at the same time as its pre-evolved form.

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.

Name origin

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