Zoroark ( ; Japanese: ゾロアーク, Hepburn: Zoroāku) is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. First introduced in the film Pokémon—Zoroark: Master of Illusions and later in the video games Pokémon Black and White, it was created by Atsuko Nishida with the design finalized by Sugimori. Zoroark has since appeared in multiple games including Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as various merchandise. In anime media related to the franchise, Zoroark is voiced by Romi Park in the movie Pokémon—Zoroark: Master of Illusions, and Ryota Iwasaki in the series. Classified as a Dark-type Pokémon, Zoroark evolves from the Pokémon Zorua, with both initially available through a special event in the original game. Zoroark is a large fox-like creature with a dark-grey body and a large red mane, able to disguise itself as other living creatures using illusions. A regional variant was added in Pokémon Legends: Arceus called Hisuian Zoroark. Featuring a white-bodied design with a more disheveled mane, it represents Zoroark that died after being chased from their natural habitat and is classified as a Normal- and Ghost-type. Zoroark’s heavily marketed promotional debut drew comparisons to Lucario, another Pokémon that received similar marketing attention. Called the mascot of Black and White, its design was heavily praised as fitting its character theme, compared to a kitsune and a werewolf. Its ability also garnered approval, particularly for the strategic depth it added to the gameplay. Hisuian Zoroark received similar praise, but was also regarded as a statement about colonialism, and represented one of the darker aspects of the Pokémon franchise.
