Zoroark is now in Pokemon GO! Or it isn’t? Zorua was released as a special surprise event Pokemon, taking over the Shuppet Spotlight Hour in Pokemon GO. Unfortunately, there was a Zorua Bug where it’d copy the stats and moves of your buddy Pokemon. Uh oh! So technically Zoroark is in the game, you just can’t really use it. However, SOON. Anyways, in this video I go over just how good Zoroark is in Pokemon GO’s Raid and PvP metas. I also talk about its signature attack, Night Daze.

Typical Niantic L
Thanks for the video as always
First!
I was so ready to have my shiny Umbreon or Weavile as my buddy.😢
Nope it's not
Since when was this an event? I'm always checking the news I never saw this. Must have been in the fine print lol
Lame booboo!
I’ve become numb to Niantic & their Classic Ls to the point where I just don’t care about anything related to new releases.
imagine evolving those 3k cp zoruas and using them in raids…
Yeah they “didn’t see it in play testing” aka didn’t know until it was released in NZ.
I love the clueless Pokémon go twitter posting about the event while it was in the middle of being cancelled worldwide 🎉
Thought this was a Filthy Cubone video for a sec.😆
As sad as I am about what happened to Zoroark today, it does open the door to see Huisian Zoroark in pogo, which was one of my favorite Huisian forms from Legends Arceus next to Wyrdeer.
That being said, I do think the Huisian form may be a better glass cannon because it's normal and ghost type (which is one of my favorite type combos).
What is with Pokemon Go and throwing its player base all these Ls this year?
Niantic are fucking pathetic.
They copy pasted whole blocks of code.
Then flailed their arms like a Muppet when things went kablooey.
I figured out exactly how this "glitch" happened.
And I dont even have a computer software or engineering degree.
So here's my take.
When they created the Zoura command code for its copy gimmick, they literally made it so that Zoura copied everything about your buddy.
Cool idea, till they forgot to set CP limits movepool reshuffling, and literally everything else.
Functionality speaking the pokemon IS your buddy but with a cosmetic of a zoura.
I guarantee you even the health stauts and Level of Hearts of your buddy would even be copied because that's how incompetent at programming these goofs are.
Some players got it messed up mid spotlight hour so they only managed to catch some in the first five minutes. Lucky for them when make up event arrives 😁
Myself I didn't mind. I never even knew about it until the day before so hard to be upset when they cancelled. It will get released within a few weeks I guess so no problem.
Thanks for the informative post.
Would of been cool to use it in the UL Halloween cup. saved stardust to use it. One of my favourite pokemon
🥰🥰🥰🥰
If the fuck ups are too prevalent, it degrades the game in the long term
Was supposed to but guess what Niantic did what they did best
Good Swag vid per usual. Also per usual Niantic found a way to unhype its events. Ho hum, Shuppet.
In the future (or in the past) Zoroark is a normal ghost Pokémon in the Hisui region.
Cant wait for Niantic to release his signature move in 2025!!
Niantic at its finest
If it receives the Hisuian form, the defensive side of things will be not 100% made up for, but resisting normal, fighting, ghost makes it resist moves like body slam, counter, shadow claw. I am more excited for the release of Hisuian Zoroark
WWWHHHHHAAAAATTTT!? NIANTIC F'd Up an Event!?!?!? NEVER!🤣
It's there M.O.! Smh!
What the heck!? 2 vids with no out takes?!?😔
Where kecleon tho
Doesn't matter if it's good or not I can't fucking get it
Wait! So did people with 4* buddies get 4* zoroark!?
Manky Hanke needs to be kicked to the curb.
Yet another klucker….What a surprise!
Part of me feels like after all the scheduled events they will bring Zoroark back in full form, as you described.
The rest of the world needs SSJ3 Zoroark right now!!
Who's here to first hear him trash on Niantic ? 🤣
Just got smacked by a Swagnami of info..and it felt good man!!
For sure tested 😉 wink wink!
This event was indeed QA tested… by us, the guinea pigs of New Zealand 🙃
Why do I have a feeling that if Zoroark was tied to a 5$ pay in research, it would have been working like a swiss watch.
Even if this event went flawlessly are we as a community okay with them releasing highly desired pokemon for 5 minutes on a week day?
Are they gonna revert all the op caught Zorua
I need that normal and ghost!
Turns out that I used to pronounce Zoroark incorrectly. I always thought it was “Zoh-roork”, not the correct way of “Zorro-arc”
