How to get Zorua & Zoroark in Pokemon Go Halloween event

If you’re wondering how to catch Zorua and Zoroark in Pokemon Go Halloween event Part 2, you’ve come to the right place.

The second part of this year’s Halloween event introduces the tricky fox Pokemon, Zorua, and its encounters work differently to many on the mobile game’s Pokedex.

The Gen 5 monster will play tricks on you – fitting for the spooky season – as it creates an illusion in Pokemon Go. It was added to the game on October 28, confirmed by Niantic.

So, let’s take a look at how to catch a Zorua and how it evolves.

Zorua’s Spotlight Hour event was canceled earlier in October.

Zorua is spawning across the Pokemon Go worldwide map during Part 2 of the Halloween event and it is disguised as your Buddy Pokemon in-game.

That means that to catch Zorua, you will catch a complete replica of your Buddy Pokemon, and then afterward it will reveal itself as the dark type you are looking for.

Pokemon Go Zorua catching tips

A tip for this challenge would be to use a Shiny Pokemon – if you have one in your inventory – as your Buddy while hunting down the Zorua.

The chances of finding an ordinary Zorua are higher than a Shiny and definitely greater than finding the exact Shiny Pokemon you choose to buddy up with. This way, you will increase your visibility of a possible Zorua among the hoards of Pokemon you may walk past during the hunt.
