Introduced in generation five, Zorua is a unique Dark-typed Pokémon. Known for its Illusion ability, Zorua enters a battle disguised as the last non-fainted Pokémon in the party. Taking the name and appearance of the masked Pokémon, the facade breaks when damage is inflicted.

In Pokémon Sword, trainers are only able to encounter Zorua with the Isle of Armor DLC. Here, trainers can find Zorua in the Forest of Focus.

Before searching for Zorua, trainers should note that it only comes out in the wild in foggy conditions. Having a ten percent chance of appearing, trainers need to come prepared and maximize each encounter with Zorua they get.
