PLACE IN THE META: Zoroark is a fan-favorite Pokémon, and, fortunately for it, has potential in Pokémon GO. Looking at its stats, it is essentially a pure Dark-type version of Lucario with more Attack and less defensive capabilities. While it won't be the new king of the Dark-types, the uncrowded field will allow it to stand out. At the very least, until Darkrai and Generation 6's Yveltal take the stage.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Zoroark:
  • Shadow Claw
  • Snarl
​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Zoroark:
  • Aerial Ace
  • ​Dark Pulse
  • Flamethrower
  • Foul Play
  • Shadow Ball

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Zoroark's movepool:
  • Night Daze
  • ​Pursuit

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Zoroark gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.
Thanks for reading, Trainers! Minccino and Cinccino are up next.
