How to Get Zorua in Pokémon Go

As a seasoned cinephile and Pokémon Go enthusiast with over a decade of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the elusive Zorua is a tantalizing addition to any trainer’s collection. The thrill of stumbling upon this tricky fox in disguise never fails to ignite a spark of excitement within me.

In the world of Pokémon Go, Zorua is another tricky Pocket Monster that usually doesn’t appear on the game map, much like the recent Ditto disguises trainers need to be aware of when trying to capture the elusive purple creature.

For Zorua, the Tricky Fox Pokemon, its ability to disguise itself is somewhat unusual compared to other instances. To get a Shiny Zorua, you’ll want to understand this unique mechanism and also be fortunate since luck plays a role too.

Zoroark’s development features impressive offensive capabilities too. With its swift and powerful attacks, this Dark-type Pokémon could prove an excellent addition to your squad when taking on bosses such as Giovanni from the Rocket Team, especially when he opts for Psychic or Ghost-type Pokémon.

To capture the elusive Zorua for your collection in Pokémon Go, here’s a simple guide on how to find it.

In Pokemon Go, the only reliable method to catch a Zorua is by encountering it randomly in your map. However, it will be disguised as your current buddy Pokemon and won’t show its true form until after you’ve caught it. Once captured, you’ll see the message “Oh?” which is similar to when you’ve caught a disguised Ditto. Only then will your newly-caught Zorua transform into its actual form.

In regular terms, this usually means you’ll encounter plenty of trials and errors. But, the simplest method to discover a Zorua in Pokémon Go is by designating a buddy who typically doesn’t appear on the map, thus making it noticeable, almost conspicuous.

To begin with, we were paired with a Galarian Slowpoke during our partnership, a creature that typically doesn’t appear outside of specific Raid events or featured occasions. Surprisingly, within the span of an hour on an ordinary gaming day, we stumbled upon three Zorua as we strolled through a bustling small town.

For an easier experience, consider using a powerful Legendary such as Groudon or Reshiram alongside Zorua. This will make Zorua stand out more due to the contrast in strength. Regardless of what form Zorua is disguised as, its catch rate won’t change, so you can rest assured that your Poké Balls won’t run out even when encountering fake Legendaries.

As a dedicated Pokémon trainer, I’ve often found myself seeking out the elusive Zorua. While you might encounter it as a boss in 1-Star Raids or during special events in Pokémon Go, these chances are quite slim. Instead, making Zorua my buddy and walking together is the most dependable way to add this mysterious Pokémon to my collection!

How to assign a buddy in Pokémon Go

To set a buddy in Pokémon Go for the first time, simply tap on your character’s profile picture located at the bottom left corner. This will open the “Me” menu, from where you can press the “buddy” option to choose the Pokémon that will accompany you as you navigate the game map.

Once done, you can effortlessly change your partner to aid in locating Zorua by tapping on its image, positioned at the bottom left, and hitting the “Swap Partners” button. Alternatively, you may find this button within the “Buddy History” section located under your “Profile” tab as well.

How to evolve Zorua in Pokémon Go

You can turn your Zorua into Zoroark in Pokemon Go when you’ve accumulated 50 Zorua Candy. To do this, navigate to the summary screen of the Zorua you wish to evolve, press “Evolve”, then confirm by tapping “Yes”. Afterward, a Zoroark will be added to your collection.

Instead of hunting for a Zorua directly, it’s much more straightforward to gather Candies by using a Pinap Berry whenever you’re confident that you’ve found a Zorua. This doubles the amount of Catch Candy you receive.

Additionally, if you designate a Zorua as your companion, you’ll receive an additional Candy for every 5 kilometers you travel on foot.

How rare is Zorua in Pokémon Go?

In the game of Pokémon Go, Zorua is usually perceived as a relatively uncommon or scarce creature to find. This is because it doesn’t appear for many trainers, even when their buddy Pokémon has distinctive features that should make it noticeable when Zorua disguises itself. Unlike most other Pokémon, the specific rate at which you can encounter Zorua isn’t openly disclosed, as it seems to be more random but less frequent than common spawns.

If you consistently play daily and manage to have a rare or legendary Pokémon as your companion, there’s a chance that a Zorua will appear in your game at some point.

Can you get Hisuian Zorua in Pokémon Go?

Currently, Hisuian Zorua isn’t accessible in Pokémon Go. However, keep in mind that new Pokémon are frequently introduced into the game, so there’s a chance we might see the white variant from Legends: Arceus appearing soon!

Nevertheless, we’ll be updating this guide as soon as we hear more.

Can Zorua be Shiny in Pokémon Go?

Absolutely, Shiny Zorua has been a part of Pokémon Go since it was introduced during the Halloween 2023 Part 2 event.

In contrast to certain occurrences that might temporarily boost the chances of coming across a Shiny Pokemon, the standard probability of discovering an alternate-colored Zorua in Pokemon Go remains at 1 in 512, which is the usual rate for most Pokemon in the game.

As a cinephile enamored with Pokémon, I’d say: To enhance your chances of discovering a Shiny Zorua in the wild, consider using Incense or Lure Modules to amplify the overall number of Pokémon appearances. Fingers crossed, this will also lead to more Zorua encounters. Through persistent exploration and a dash of luck, you’ll eventually come across one.
