Unfortunately, there was a bug after it was shadow-dropped that forced Niantic to temporarily disable the little black fox. The bug was fixed, and players have since been able to encounter Zorua in the wild. When it comes to wild encounters, Zorua is a special case. You won\u2019t see it roaming around on your screen like other wild Pok\u00e9mon, making it a bit trickier to hunt down. How to get Zorua and Zoroark in Pok\u00e9mon Go In the main series Pok\u00e9mon games, Zorua and Zoroark have access to the unique ability Illusion, which transforms them into the last Pok\u00e9mon in the player\u2019s party, thus tricking opponents into thinking the fox is actually something else. Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet took this one step further by making this ability affect wild Zorua and Zoroark, forcing players to battle them to know if they\u2019re being tricked. Related: How to get Sigilyph in Pok\u00e9mon Go In Pok\u00e9mon Go, players may sometimes notice that their Buddy Pok\u00e9mon is on the screen as a wild encounter, even when it isn\u2019t out to play. This is actually Zorua playing a trick on the player, which will transform back into its normal self upon capture. Once you have your Zorua, you can evolve it into a Zoroark by using 50 Zorua Candy. Since Zorua is a rather rare spawn, players may want to make it their Buddy once they capture it to get Candies at a quicker rate. And even if you aren\u2019t out hunting for a Zorua, it\u2019s still important to know how its illusion mechanic works and be mindful of it while searching for other rare Pok\u00e9mon. You wouldn\u2019t want to accidentally waste precious resources like a Master Ball on something that ends up being a mischievous Zorua in disguise.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/10122347\/Zorua.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716636"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2010"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=716636"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716636\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":894851,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716636\/revisions\/894851"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/611534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=716636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=716636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=716636"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=716636"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=716636"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=716636"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=716636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
