Best Zoroark Build Unite (2025)

FAQs

What is the best build for Zoroark? ›

The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Brown Emblems for more damage and 6 White Emblems additional HP. This can be achieved by having at least two (2) Emblems that are both Brown and White. Equip Emblems that improve Attack or Critical-Hit Rate to further improve Zoroark's damage while using Night Slash.

Snarl and Foul Play make for Zoroark's best possible moveset. Shadow Claw is semi-close to Snarl and hits the same types for Super Effective damage, but it's ultimately an inferior move due to a lack of STAB. Sludge Bomb and Flamethrower are lesser options.

Zoroark joins a steadily growing class of powerful Speedsters in Pokémon UNITE, and it may even be the most mobile of them all. Night Slash and Feint Attack both provide numerous opportunities for Zoroark to zip around during battle, changing targets and dealing damage in ways similar to both Lucario and Tsareena.

The best moves for Zoroark are Snarl and Foul Play when attacking Pokémon in Gyms. This move combination has the highest total DPS and is also the best moveset for PVP battles.

It doesn't just transform itself—it also has the power to make hundreds of people see its illusions. If it thinks humans are going to discover its den, Zoroark shows them visions that make them wander around in the woods.

So just flick your stick 3 times while adding basic attacks in between and you will activate the powerful jump slash attack. Feint Attack is also quite interesting since it allows you to dash farther and every time you hit someone with it, the cooldown on your other move is refreshed.

Gengar has better Special attack, special defense, and speed. On top of that, Gengar also has three immunities. The main difference between the two in terms of moveset is that Zoroark can learn Flamethrower, while Gengar can learn Thunderbolt.

Zoroark can create illusions that are indistinguishable from reality, deluding many people simultaneously. It can even create illusory landscapes in the forests where it dwells, to hide its territory and protect its den.

At First, Zoroark Was Even Rarer Than Pseudo Legendaries

However, as part of only a two-stage evolutionary line with Zorua, Zoroark doesn't meet the criteria to even be Pseudo Legendary. Zoroark doesn't even measure up to the category of Pseudo Legendary with its base stat total.

I have to go with Dragonite. Tyranitar is a close second, then Espeon. Depends on your playstyle. I tend towards Dragonite and Goodra due to great attacks for bulky Pokemon, but some people can pull off Blissey or Inteleon with amazing strats.

Which Pokémon is stronger in Unite? ›

Inteleon has the best secure (ability to last hit and KO wild Pokémon) in the early game of any Pokémon. This makes the early game a breeze and gaining an experience lead on the enemy is an easy task.

Copying Gengar with Illusion allows Zoroark to use Nasty Plot and Shadow Ball to throw your opponent off since they will be unsure if you started with Zoroark or Gengar. This setup also allows you to bait out Psychic and Ghost type moves, giving you a free turn if your opponent uses a Psychic move.

Disguise it as something that would be a target of Ghost, Dark, or Psychic type attacks, for starters. Picking something that's slow (So you can surprise them by outspeeding them) and/or also has moves in common with Zoroark so it won't blow its cover after a single attack helps, too.

In short, Hisuian Zoroark is a little faster and the better special attacker compared to regular Zoroark. On the other hand, regular Zoroark has slightly-better Attack and HP. One advantage Hisuian Zoroark has over regular Zoroark is fewer type weaknesses and cannot be injured by Normal or Fighting-type moves.

The best moveset for Hisuian Zoroark in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is Slash, Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball, and Extrasensory. Out of all its stats, its Physical Attack, Special Attack, and Speed are all fairly high.

Zoroark gets Grass knot, while Gengar gets Energy Ball (and Giga Drain, if Pokeshifting from 4th gen). If you are looking for sheer special attacking power, Gengar is the better choice. However, if you want a mixed set or physical set, Zoroark comes out the winner. Both are good however.
