Zoroark made its main series debut in ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]''. It inhabited [[Grand Spectrala Islet]] and used its {{a|Illusion}} to create [[giant Pokémon]] in order to protect the other Pokémon on the island from {{pkmn|poacher}}s. Decades earlier, it was a Zorua that a [[Nurse Joy]] once cared for, later evolving once Nurse Joy left the island. | Zoroark made its main series debut in ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]''.
