[[File:Luke Zorua Illusion.png|thumb|left|Zorua turning into {{AP|Pikachu}}.]]
Zorua is a slate gray, fox-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with red and black accents. Its ears are triangular with dark insides, and it has a large tuft of fur tipped with red on top of its head. It has greenish-blue eyes with red eyelids. There are circular, red markings above the eyes that resemble eyebrows. Its muzzle is short and tapered with two small fangs seen in the upper jaw when its mouth is open. Zorua possesses a ruff of black fur around its neck and four short limbs tipped with red. Its tail is short and bushy. Zorua can change its physical appearance, though this transformation is merely an illusion as it keeps its own type and moves.

Zorua keeps its true form hidden to ensure its safety, and takes on the appearance of other Pokémon to frighten off enemies. Sometimes it will take the form of a silent child. As evident in [[M13|its movie debut]], whenever a Zorua takes on a human form, its tail remains. When the tail is touched or grabbed, it reverts to its true form instantly. It is mischievous and loves to surprise others. Zorua and {{p|Zoroark}} are the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Night Daze}}.
Zorua is said to have a timid nature which led to the development of its illusion abilities. Zorua keeps its true form hidden to ensure its safety and takes on the appearance of other Pokémon to frighten off enemies. Sometimes it will take the form of a silent child in order to search for food. It has been known to occasionally replace normally talkative children. As seen in [[M13|its movie debut]], the tail of an unpracticed Zorua may remain when it takes on a human form, and if the tail is touched, it will revert to its true form. Zorua is mischievous and loves to surprise others.


==In the anime==
Prior to [[Generation VII]], Zorua and its evolved form, {{p|Zoroark}}, were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Night Daze}}. Additionally, Zorua and Zoroark, as well as their [[regional form]]s, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Illusion}} as an [[Ability]].
[[File:Luke Zorua.png|thumb|250px|Zorua in the anime]]
 
===Major appearances===
===Forms===
====[[Zorua (M13)]]====
Zorua has an ancient [[regional form]]: Hisuian Zorua.
{{mov|Zorua|Zorua|13}} debuted in the thirteenth Pokémon movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', where it was used by the antagonist, [[Grings Kodai]], to blackmail its foster mother {{mov|Zoroark|Zoroark|13}} into attacking Crown City. It escaped and met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, before befriending {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|13}}. Zorua and Celebi were captured by Kodai, but were able to defeat him with help from Zoroark and the three {{Shiny}} [[legendary beasts]] serving as Crown City's guardians.


====[[Luke's Zorua]]====
Exiled from other lands by humans because of their illusions, and unable to survive in the [[Hisui]] region due to the harsh environment and conflicts with other Pokémon, the souls of deceased Zorua linger on in a new form, reborn by their malice towards humans and Pokémon alike. Hisuian Zorua's fur is mainly light gray with red and white accents. Its ears are primarily gray with split cuts and a slight red tint at the tips. Its eyes have golden yellow irises and pink eyelids, and its limbs are tipped in black. The tuft of fur on its head, the ruff around its neck, and its tail are all white at their bases, with long wisps of fur that fade to red at the tips, and they are all smoother in appearance. Unlike Unovan Zorua, it has a melancholy expression rather than a mischievous one.
A female Zorua under the ownership of [[Luke]] made its anime debut in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', when she refuses to play multiple roles in her Trainer's film. After reconciling with Luke, the Zorua took part in the film as the princess who is kidnapped. She is literally kidnapped later on by Team Rocket and rescued by {{an|Cilan}} and {{Ash}}. This same Zorua reappeared with her Trainer in ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]'' through ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Heroes Outcome!]]'' and again in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]''.


===Other===
Hisuian Zorua retains its ability to cast illusions but accomplishes this by constantly unleashing its spiteful power of malice through its ghostly fur, specifically atop its head. This power comes from Hisuian Zorua's own resentment of everything. If it encounters a lone human or Pokémon, Zorua may appear to them masked in a horrifying illusion of their own likeness. It seems to draw strength from the terror it inflicts on its victims.<ref>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/zorua/ Hisuian Zorua | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref> Hisuian Zorua tends to reside in the cold areas where it lingers onto. Like its Unova counterpart, Hisuian Zorua can make its illusion of other Pokémon, to the point of easily fooling anyone in order to get food.
A Zorua appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]''. It was a Pokémon taken care by the [[Nurse Joy]] years in the past. It eventually evolved into a {{p|Zoroark}}.


===Minor appearances===
Hisuian Zorua and {{p|Zoroark}} are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Bitter Malice}}.
A photo of a Zorua appeared in ''[[BW054|The Four Seasons of Sawsbuck!]]''.

In {{g|GO}}, Zorua will appear in the wild disguised as the player's [[Buddy Pokémon]]. Players will only find out whether a Pokémon is a Zorua if successfully [[caught Pokémon|captured]], upon which a cutscene will show the Pokémon transforming back into Zorua. The Buddy Pokémon does not need to appear on the overworld for Zorua to spawn.
 
Zorua can appear disguised as a [[Shiny Pokémon (GO)|Shiny Pokémon]] if the Buddy Pokémon is Shiny, without it being Shiny itself.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Zorua was first revealed with its evolved form, {{p|Zoroark}}, in the March 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Zorua, {{p|Zoroark}}, and their Hisuian forms were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida]</ref><ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CZR0ngKvAfy/ Instagram post by Atsuko Nishida]</ref>
* Zorua and Zoroark are the only two non-legendary Pokémon to ever have once been event-exclusive, discounting {{p|Rotom}}'s alternate forms in Platinum, and {{p|Phione}}, whose legendary status is disputed.  
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Hisuian Zorua and its evolution.
* The Zorua given to you by [[Rood]] has 30 IV's in every stat.
** Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark are also the only Pokémon immune to both of their types.
* Zorua was first revealed with its evolved form in the March 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Zorua and its evolved form are the only non-[[Mythical Pokémon]] to have been [[event]]-exclusive for a time (prior to the release of {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}).
* Zorua's Hisuian Form was teased in a [https://youtu.be/ayJvMf--68Q blurry found-footage style promotional video], and was [https://youtu.be/bEb9gbJUUeA revealed in full] two days later. A [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDqoe6_WnOY final trailer] was released the next week, showing its official artwork and information about it.
* Prior to Version 1.2.0 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Hisuian Zorua's base stats were the same as Unovan Zorua's. This change was undone when Hisuian Zorua became available in those games. Similar occurences happened to Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}} and {{p|Kleavor}}.
** Prior to Version 2.0.1, Hisuian Zorua was able to learn {{m|Spite}} at [[level]] 28.
 
===Origin===
===Origin===
Zorua is likely based on a {{wp|fox}} cub, with facial markings resembling {{wp|Kabuki}} or {{wp|Noh}} theatre makeup. The concept of a Zorua still having its tail while in human form, is similar to the Japanese folklore of the {{wp|Kitsune}}, a shape-shifting fox who, in some stories, has difficulty of hiding its tail when it takes on human forms. Zorua may also be based on {{wp|ninja}}s due to its special ability to use and fight with {{a|illusion}}s, which can be considered a genjutsu (illusion technique).  
Zorua appears to be based on the ''{{wp|kitsune}}'' of Japanese folklore, a mythical {{wp|fox}} capable of shape-shifting. The concept of a Zorua still having its tail while in human form may refer to how a ''kitsune'' has difficulty in hiding its tail when it takes on human form in some stories. Its facial markings may draw inspiration from ''{{wp|Kabuki}}'' and ''{{wp|Noh}}'' theater makeup.
 
In addition, Zorua's habit of replacing children with itself is similar to {{wp|Irish folklore}} about the {{wp|changeling}}, a fairy-child that replaces human children kidnapped by fairies or, in some tales, the devil. Zorua also resembles the {{wp|trickster}} characters of many cultures in both appearance and behavior; such characters are often depicted as foxes.
 
Hisuian Zorua may be based on {{wp|vengeful ghost}}s and {{wp|revenant}}s. Its coloration may be based on kitsune masks.
