During this move, if the user hits opposing Pokemon with a combined total of six dash attacks and specia lboosted basic attacks (for other moves), the user will jump into the air and then land with a slash in a set area of effect, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon. If this slash attack hits opposing Pokemon, the user recover HP. While jumping, the user is able to use Shadow Claw or Cut to move a set distance. Cooldown: 8 seconds

Zoroark Strategy Guide

Zoroark Strengths & Weaknesses

Recommended Lanes

The number of ★ shows the level on a particular route area.

Lane	Route Details
Top	Recommendation level: ★・・ Zorua has difficulty playing an active role on the upper route in terms of endurance. It may need to focus on farming first before going full offense.
Middle	Recommendation level: ★★★ Zorua can chase and KO the opponent's Pokemon alone with its high fighting ability. Its quick movement speed makes it an excellent ganker and you'll want Zorua to have a level advantage when doing so!
Bottom	Recommendation level: ★★・ Zorua has low endurance and may not be able to fight head-on in group battles with opponents during the early stages. Therefore, it is not recommended to take charge of the lower route where many group battles occur.

Recommended Boost Emblems

Boost Emblems
Sandshrew	Sandslash	Nidoqueen	Nidoking
Meowth	Persian	Scyther	Gyarados
Kabuto	Kabutops	-	-

When using Zoroark , you should prioritize activating +4% attack with 6 types of brown support medals. It is recommended to use the remaining 4 slots with white support medals to increase attack.

Early Game (Lvl 1~) Strategy

Start With Slash

Choose Slash as your Level 1 skill. Choosing Fury Swipes gives Zeraora some considerable range but no certain method to deliver damage. Slash may be used more frequent with its low cooldown rate to farm in the early stages and to take down Wild Pokemon.

Try To Roam The Other Jungle Side Of The Enemy Team

When you've reached level 5 and upgraded your move, you can try to use Illusion to sneak past the opposing team's side of the middle lane and defeat the wild Pokemon spawning in the area to steal their EXP resources or special buffs at the same time increasing Zoroa's level.

Use Obstacles To Escape Pursuers

Because most of Zoroark's moves are dash moves, you can easily jump over obstacles. It will be easier to leave and escape if you are able to use your environment, particularly barriers, to your advantage.

Prioritize Leveling To Reach Power Spike

You'll notice that Zoroark's significantly gets stronger when it reaches its power spike at levels 5, 7, and 9. You'll only need to evolve once to become Zoroark, so to take advantage of it is quite crucial to prioritize getting EXP. Make sure you're ready to clear the jungle as soon as the wild Pokemon respawns!

Mid Game (Lvl 7~) Strategy

Upgraded Moveset Deals Significant Damage

Level 7 introduces a new move choice in the shape of Shadow Claw or Cut, which increases your damage significantly. You should prioritize gaining experience here and don't waste too much time pushing lanes when you are under leveled against your lane opponent. Help your teammates if they are in trouble, but don't be too much aggressive in pushing to the point of overextending.

Isolate Targets To Knockout

While leveling, aim for isolated opponents to KO. To level up, regularly KO wild Pokemon in the middle area. To gank, look for sole or fleeing opponents with low HP. By doing this consistently, you should be at level 9 by the time you face Zapdos.

Use Dashes As An Escape Tool

Remember those dash abilities, such as Feint Attack, Night Slash, Night Slash and Cut, can be used not only to jump to enemies, but to run away from them.

Late Game (Lvl 9~) Strategy

Use Your Unite Move Aggressively

Nightfall Daze allows the user to send out three dark shock waves, each with a larger area of impact and doing damage to opponent Pokemon. While emitting shock waves, the user is immune to impediments. Pretty straightforward and easy to use as there is no charging time to execute it. Extremely useful when used during clashes or when targeting high-priority Pokemon like Attackers and Supports. Use it when the opponent team is gathered in one location since it may inflict multiple enemies at once. Winning the final team fight is critical since your team may be able to secure Zapdos.

Take Out Supporters Near Zapdos

In the late game, you'll nearly always face off against the opposing team at Zapdos. It's tempting to go head-to-head with Zapdos, but this is better left to your larger All-Rounder and Defender friends. Instead, circle the perimeter and wait for the enemy Supporter or any other squishy Pokemon to arrive. Then, using your dash attacks, leap in and eliminate them.
