Pokémon Legends: Arceus – How To Find (& Catch) Hisuian Zoroark

Pokémon Legends: Arceus has introduced a few new variations of Pokémon, and one of the rarest Pokémon that players can find and catch is Hisuian Zoroark. When compared to its Unovian form, Hisuian Zoroark is unique in both its appearance and typing as it changes from a Dark-type Pokémon to a Normal- and Ghost-type. Additionally, Hisuian Zoroark’s Speed and Special Attacks make it tower over various opponents in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

As a Normal and Ghost-type Pokémon in Legends: Arceus, Zoroark’s Hisuian variant has more immunities than any other Pokémon in Legends: Arceus. Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to both Fighting- and Normal-type Pokémon moves while Normal-type Pokémon are immune to Ghost-type Pokémon attacks, which means Hisuian Zoroark is immune to what would normally be two weaknesses. As a Ghost-type, Hisuian Zoroark also has resistances to both Poison-type and Bug-type moves. Hisuian Zoroark is only weak against Dark-type moves, making it one of the unique dual-type Pokémon in the series that has less than two weaknesses.

Hisuian Zoroark can be found in two places throughout Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the first being Bonechill Wastes’ underground tunnels in the Alabaster Icelands where Hisuian Zorua can be found long before players beat and complete the Pokémon Legends: Arceus story. Hisuian Zorua is a much rarer find, however, so players are better off catching a Hisuian Zorua and evolving it. Hisuian Zorua can be found within a few levels of being ready to evolve into Zoroark, but it will remain under-leveled compared to other Pokémon in the area. Hisuian Zorua is found in the high 20s levels and evolves into Zoroark beginning at level 30. The entrances to the underground tunnels of Bonechill Wastes can be found on the right side of the map toward the mountain, and the left side toward Arena’s Approach.

Where To Find & Capture Hisuian Zoroark In Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Players have a guaranteed way of catching an Alpha Hisuian Zoroark during Mission 16 of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Before this time, players will want to make sure that they are well stocked on Ultra Balls by reaching Star Rank Level six in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and gaining the ability to craft them. Alpha Hisuian Zoroark can be found on level 58, and its high Speed and Special Attack stats make it a dangerous threat for the ill-prepared. After catching a Hisuian Zoroark, players will be happy to figure out that it has a variety of moves in its arsenal that support its great stats in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Ideally, players will find a Hisuian Zoroark with a Timid or Modest nature, allowing either its Speed or Special Attack stats to be further boosted, respectively, while sacrificing physical attack strength. Hisuian Zoroark has access to moves like Sludge Bomb, Dark Pulse, Flamethrower, and Bitter Malice, allowing it to take down Fairy-, Steel-, Ice-, Grass-, Psychic-, Bug-, and other Ghost-type Pokémon with ease. Players may also want to find Hisuian Zoroark’s shiny version after beating Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which replaces the red on its further with a more appropriate Ghost-type purple.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is available now on Nintendo Switch.
