* It might seem like that at first, but when you consider how frequently a lot of Pokemon are "limited" to only a small selection of possible builds, tricking them into sending out something that Zoroark can take easily becomes a good way to tip the battle in your favor.

::A comic I read recently exhibits how Illusion is useful. The opponent has an Espeon out, you send out your Zoroark as a Machamp. Espeon uses Psychic, obviously, but Zoroark's Dark type negates it. Then Zoroark uses Dark Pulse and U-Turn and wins.—[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 18:10, 2 November 2010 (UTC) | ::A comic I read recently exhibits how Illusion is useful.

== Speech == | |||
When Zorua (or Zoroark) transformed into a human in the movie, were they able to speak?--[[User:Darknesslover5000|Darknesslover5000]] 06:26, 2 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Illusion vs. Transform == | |||
How, exactly, would a Pokémon react if it used Transform against an opponent with its Illusion up? Would it copy the Illusion, but become Dark-type and have Zorua/Zoroark's moves? Or would it just turn straight into Zoroark?—[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 05:21, 1 March 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I'm pretty sure Transform doesn't work and the "The move failed!" message pops up. In other words, Ditto would keep using Transform over and over again and it would never turn into the Pokemon with Illusion, staying as a Ditto. [[User:RedLuigi|RedLuigi]] 17:07, 2 March 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Name == | |||
The article says that Illusion affects the species name. How about nicknames? The “Tranier is about to send out Zoroark!” message should probably be mentioned as well. [[User:En-Cu-Kou|En-Cu-Kou]] 16:50, 12 March 2011 (UTC) | |||
:It actually copies the species name, or the nickname if it has one. So, if you have Zorua/Zoroark as first in your party, and a Serperior named "King" as the last, when you send out your Zorua/Zoroark it would say "Go! King!" [[User:EnosShayrem|EnosShayrem]] 02:23, 13 March 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Working on Zorua/Zoroark == | |||
Does this work if you try to use Illusion to copy Zorua/Zoroark? Two examples: | |||
* If a Zoroark is in party slot 1, and a Zorua is in party slot 6. | |||
* If a non-shiny Zoroark is in party slot 1, and a shiny Zoroark is in party slot 6. | |||

:Just tested this out. Zoroark can, in fact, copy not only Zorua but also other Zoroarks, as differentiated by nickname (or lack thereof). A Zoroark's illusion of copying a Zoroark can still be broken, revealing the original Zoroark; even if the one it was copying had the exact same name/gender/Poké Ball/Shininess. - [[User:Saethori|Saethori]] 06:00, 14 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Noteworthy? == | |||
Should it be noted that Illusion and Transform are similar in the anime?[[User:FrankTheTank000|FrankTheTank000]] 23:06, 4 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
:No. And they aren't. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 23:16, 4 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Huh == | |||
1. Zorua/Zoroark do not copy genders, so you can be a female Zoro disguised as a male Machamp, and the opposing opponent is a Tauros with Attract. It will work, like Captivate. | |||
2. There is a way to know that the Pokemon in question is Zoro without attacking, and just viewing. Lets say Zoro copies a Weavy, and if you see closely, the Pressure message won't pop up, therefore you know it is a Zoro even before doing anything. | |||
I don't know if these 2 things should be noted.[[User:Blitzamirin|<span style="color:#399999"> ~ Blitzamirin ~ </span>]] 04:14, 24 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Ditto Effect? == | |||
What happens if a player has two Zorua and one is at the end of the party? Will it fail completely or will it be like a Ditto vs Ditto kind of thing where it shows the effect of it transforming but nothing happens? [[User:Frenchhorn|Frenchhorn]] 19:19, 4 December 2011 (UTC) | |||
:It will fail. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:12, 9 February 2012 (UTC) | |||
== Mystery Dungeon == | |||
Shouldn't there be a description for how it works in Mystery Dungeon?--[[User:Darknesslover5000|Darknesslover5000]] ([[User talk:Darknesslover5000|talk]]) 19:32, 29 April 2013 (UTC) | |||
== Effect on AI trainers == | |||
Does a Pokémon with Illusion actually trick the AI? Or does the AI cheat and still know that it's, say, a Zorua even though the Illusion wasn't broken yet? This could easily be tested. Put a pure Fighting or Poison type Pokémon (like Machop) in the last spot in your party, put a slow Zorua (just to make sure that the AI Pokémon goes first) in the first spot and go up against a trainer with a Pokémon that has Psychic attacks, but not ''solely'' Psychic attacks.<br> | |||
If the AI doesn't cheat, it would use a Psychic move which is super effective against Machop, the Pokémon that Zorua appears to be. If the AI ''does'' cheat, it would never use Psychic attacks because those do no damage to Zorua. I can't test this because I don't own the game, but I feel like that's vital information that is sadly missing from this article. [[User:Nixitur|Nixitur]] ([[User talk:Nixitur|talk]]) 16:32, 6 September 2015 (UTC) | |||
:FWIW, it won't be notable if the AI is indeed "fooled" by Illusion. That should be expected. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 16:41, 6 September 2015 (UTC) | |||
::Maybe not, but what would be notable is how the AI would then react after that. If it tries to hit what it thinks is a Machop with a super-effective move and that Machop is inexplicably immune against that move, would it then blindly continue using that move, despite its ineffectiveness? Or would it get the hint that maybe things are not as they seem and switch to a different move? Both cases seem notable to me, but trainer AI is generally barely documented on this wiki, so that might be just me. [[User:Nixitur|Nixitur]] ([[User talk:Nixitur|talk]]) 18:26, 6 September 2015 (UTC) | |||
:::You're right, that gets into whether we should talk about AI behavior at all, or where. And as far as this page goes, things are complicated by the fact that there is not '''''one''''' universal AI.

== Usage by NPC == | |||
I thought I should point out that in the battle with [[Sidney]], when he is about to send out Zoroark, the message "''Elite Four Sydney is about to send in <Pokémon>. Will you switch your Pokémon?''" uses the name of the Pokémon it's disguised as (assuming "Switch" is enabled). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 04:28, 16 April 2016 (UTC) | |||
==Learning A Move== | |||
In Pokémon Sun and Moon, when a Pokémon with Illusion attempts to learn a new move (at least while not in the lead spot in battle, I have not tested any other way, this was something I came across while training a Zorua with another Pokémon in the last spot on my team while battling with yet another Pokémon) it seems to use the name of the Pokémon in the last slot of the party, such as"''<Pokémon in the last slot> wants to learn <Move>''". Seems notable.[[User:TraxScrip813|TraxScrip813]] ([[User talk:TraxScrip813|talk]]) 22:10, 26 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
