Origin

Zoroark is a Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, and was the very first Generation V Pokémon ever revealed, being a main character in the movie Zoroark: Master of Illusions. It evolves from Zorua starting at level 30. It and Zorua are only available in Black and White by using event Pokémon, though it can be found in the wild in Pokémon X and Y: its original rarity might be the reason for its ability to appear out of a Master Ball in Super Smash Bros. 4. Zorua and Zoroark have the signature Ability Illusion, which allows them to pose as the last Pokémon in the party they belong to while retaining their moveset and typing until they are hit by an attack.

Fury Swipes is a common physical Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It has 80% accuracy and hits the target 2-5 times with 18 base power for every hit. Zoroark can learn it at level 13 when still a Zorua, or via Move Reminder.

Trivia

  • Goldeen and Zoroark are the only Pokémon that can come out of Master Balls that are not Legendary Pokemon.
  • Despite it not actually being a Legendary, Zoroark's trophy appears in the Legend of Pokémon Black & Pokémon White Trophy Box.
