Can you catch zorua in pokemon black

Zorua and Zoroark are in some ways the Riolu and Lucario of this generation — they seemed almost legendary-esque at first, and they're not as easily obtainable as most non-legendary Pokemon.

Unlike Riolu though, Zorua and Zoroark are only obtainable if you have certain event-only Pokemon on your cartridge.

Solet's discuss how you can go about obtaining these two. Don't worry too much though if you miss out on the events — Zorua and Zoroark aren't legendaries, so you should have no problem finding a kind person to breed one for you and trade.

Once you've got your precious Zoroark, using him in battle might prove a little tricky. The main aspect to focus on here is his unique Illusion ability — Zorua and Zoroark are the only two Pokemon that have this ability, and it's the only ability either of them can have. Zoroark's defenses are all around incredibly weak, so to successfully use him in battle it's crucial to use the Illusion ability to your advantage and trick your opponent into thinking you sent out a different Pokemon.

Here's how Illusion works: when you send Zorua or Zoroark into battle, they take on the appearance of the Pokemon that's in the last position in your party, including gender, Poke Ball and all. To access the Zorua event, choose Celebi and to access the Zoroark event, send over a single member of the Legendary Roaming Trio.

You can send the other two over if you have them after the event. Zorua is actually pretty easy to get. Make sure you talk to him while Celebi is in your party. Once you do so, Celebi will pop out of its Pokeball and Zorua will reveal itself.

Then watch the dialogue and eventually Zorua will be given to you by its Trainer. It will be a level 10 male Zorua and although it was given to you by another Trainer, it will have your Trainer ID attached to it.

He has since retired from writing, but clearly shows up now and again. He has worked in video game journalism since and was also a paid consultant for Konami and The Pokemon Company. Spare us the filler. I heard that I'll need a event Celibi but I don't have one. Can someone help? User Info: WitchFlower. Accepted Answer. That is pretty much the only way to obtain it in game. You can then search for it in the GTS. You also get one in BW2, so if you have those games, you can always trade it over.
