Zorua (Japanese: ゾロア Zorua) is a Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves into Zoroark starting at level 30.
Both it and Zoroark were the first Generation V Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 10, 2010.
Biology
Zorua is a slate gray, fox-like Pokémon with red and black accents. Its ears are triangular with dark insides, and it has a large tuft of fur tipped with red on top of its head. It has greenish blue eyes with red eyelids. There are circular, red markings above the eyes that resemble eyebrows. Its muzzle is short and tapered with two small fangs seen in the upper jaw when its mouth is open. Zorua possesses a ruff of black fur around its neck and four short limbs tipped with red. Its tail is short and bushy. Zorua can change its physical appearance, though this transformation is merely an illusion as it keeps its own type and moves.
Zorua keeps its true form hidden to ensure its safety, and takes on the appearance of other Pokémon to frighten off enemies. Sometimes it will take the form of a silent child. As seen in its movie debut, an unpracticed Zorua's tail may remain when it takes on a human form and if the tail is touched, it will revert to its true form. Zorua is mischievous and loves to surprise others.

Trivia
- Zorua was first revealed with its evolved form, Zoroark, in the March 2010 issue of CoroCoro.
- Zorua and its evolved form Zoroark are the only non-Mythical Pokémon to have been event-exclusive for a time (prior to the release of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2).
Origin
Zorua is likely based on a fox cub, with facial markings resembling Kabuki or Noh theater makeup. The concept of a Zorua still having its tail while in human form, is similar to the Japanese folklore of the kitsune, a shape-shifting fox who, in some stories, has difficulty of hiding its tail when it takes on human forms. Zorua 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
Zorua may be a combination of zorro (Spanish for fox) and rua (Irish for red, possibly referring to its red fur; madra rua is Irish for fox).
