Still shit

Even its Illusion gimmick, Zoroark is still outclassed by other Dark types

>>31865234
Not just Zoroark though, but I mean the meta as a whole. No TP means no predicting your opponents leads what pokemon they even have.

>>31865265

The meta would become much worse

Back in Gen 4, there was no strategy, you just played your team like you always did and hoped your opponent didn't have the Pokemon that countered your wincon

It was entirely reactionary, it was impossible to plan

>>31865292
Another reason why Gen 4 was best gen.


>TFW no 6v6 lvl 100 battles

>>31865161
Isn't Illusion broken, because the new "super effective!" message instantly reveals it?

Free bumps since archiving is kill at the moment

he just needs better stats

illusion is fucking useless

>>31865428
has anyone tested zoroark with the type effectiveness markers in gen 7?

The only time i ever have had trouble with zoroark is on random battles.
And it got tangrowth as an illusion

>>31865292
That made it so much fucking better. You couldn't figure out the opponent's strategy until it happened. You want a game of skill? There ya go.

>>31865292
it's literally still the same except now you both know who's gonna lose by the team preview

>>31865161
I think it would be pretty great, OU at least.

Without team preview, there's a ton of really cool shit you could do with Zoroark. You can essentially bluff any lead in the game with it as long as it's in your last slot. The opponent thinks you led with Forretress, you switch to a fire type to kill it, Zoroark uses NP or SD, and suddenly you're in a scary situation. Even if you don't lead with it, there's a ton of mindgames you could play with it.

I'm pretty sure that Zoroark also disguises its type advantages/disadvantages, though I could be wrong.

>>31868720
It's stats are fine. Base 105 speed with two good offensive stats, both over 100, and boosting moves to compensate.

>>31868790
no, it's stats are fine for gen 4

you have shit like pheromosa running around now

>>31865161
It doesn't.

Like using toxicroak with Zoroark
People just too tempted to use psychic moves on it
Plus they have similar move set

Zoroark is massively underrated. It's my best performing Pokemon in the Battle Royal and Battle Tree; yes it's frail but it will always win you one extra turn.

>>31865428
>>31868748
Of course it doesn't. Zoroark's Illusion mimics the Pokemon perfectly until revealed; it mimics shininess, the Pokeball, even the SE messages. Otherwise what would be the point?
