ORAS NA wifi event out of nowhere
OT Sly 11045 Ultra Ball Zoroark with event move Sludge Bomb

This is odd, to say the least.

Sludge Bomb doesn't even help Zoroark that much, to be honest.

Helps Zoroark pretend to be Gengar better though.
>>24589479
No one uses it in OU.
>>24589455
As soon as they hit it, they'll know what it is. Still, one turn I guess.
>>24589490
Substitute can buy you a few more turns. Besides, Zoroark's best as a sweeper, so they only need a few turn's window if used right.
I'm pretty sure that maxed Sp.Atk and Speed Zoroark@Assault Vest can be pretty decent with Nasty Plot.
>>24589479
Do you also use lagging tail? :^)

>>24589604
Nobody cares about shitass players who aren't even careful with event legendaries. Now stop posting and get lost.
>>24589604
Got mine. Doesn't even comes with 3 IVs and guaranteed nature. Nintendo....
>>24589538
event exclusive moves are never egg moves sadly
Of all Pokemon, they picked this stupid thing.. Fuck, Gamefreak. Maybe this is them trying to shove the DeviantArt fanfic-gone-wrong down our throats again since it didn't work in BW and the movie. I hate this stupid furry bait. I'm gonna call it now, Zoroark for next Mega and/or Sm4sh dlc.
>has event ribbon
>in an ultra ball
>"Sly OT"
>sludge bomb move
uh..fucking what is this? They usually only do events for something related to something they're trying to promote. I'm assuming it's for the new BREAKthrough cards...but its a really bizarre event.
>>24589625
Time to play the soft reset game.
>>24589625
Why would it come with 3 IVs? Only non-breedable Pokémon do that.
>>24589641
Zoroark is a pokeball pokemon in smash, you dumbass. And a mega would be nice, actually. It was a shame that Zoroark never got the fame Lucario garners.
>Japan gets shiny Jirachi, Arceus, Xerneas and Yveltal
This is kinda funny.
>>24589625
Only non-breedables get the IV bonus
Enjoy SRing for a 3IV with equal odds of a 6IV on other events ;^)
252 SpA Choice Specs Zoroark Sludge Bomb vs. 252 HP / 24+ SpD Florges: 170-202 (47.2 - 56.1%) -- 22.3% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
:^(
>>24589664
At least health, defense, and sp. defense do not really matter in a zoroark.
>>24589676
that's not modest
252+ SpA Choice Specs Zoroark Sludge Bomb vs. 252 HP / 24+ SpD Florges: 188-222 (52.2 - 61.6%) -- 97.7% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
still shit tho lol
>>24589654
>Zoroark is a pokeball pokemon in smash
And it doesn't even use its Illusion gimmick, or Night Daze, it uses Fury Swipes as a clone of Greninja's Final Smash.
>>24589749
it's not guaranteed modest idiot
>>24589770
Poor zoroark. It cannot catch a break at all.
>>24589749
Why would you ever use Modest over Timid?
>>24589652
>>24589664
They can set the IVs for events. Sejun's Pachirisu for example was 31/31/31/14/31/31 Impish. It wouldn't hurt them to at least make this one more bearable to soft reset for.
>>24589641
Yes. An unadvertised event is them shoehorning to make it popular anon.
Why does GF have to hate Zoroark and Not-Japan so much?
>>24589785
>derided as "lucario wannabe"
>battle preview killed Illusion's usefulness
>limited movepool
Truly a tragic tale of what should have been a pretty nice pokemon.
At least Night Daze is pretty decent.
>>24589813
they saw all those nasty things we wrote about ORAS
>>24589815
Don't forget, its distribution was shit
>>24589823
That had to have been some of the worst distribution that I could remember.
>tfw my name is Sylvester
>Shorten it to Sly
>It will just be my OT name
>People will think I like that poke
>>24589774
What is soft reset?
>>24589796
to hit harder obviously. zoroark's already pretty fast
>>24589977
>Base 105
>fast
not anymore, it needs all the speed it can get
Would a mega evo save Zoroark, or is it doomed to forever be elusive in competitive play?
One game mechanics that may end up helping ruse fox have some viability, is that if it suffers from direct damage, it takes 50% damage of what it would take when not under an illusion. Think that could add some viability?
>>24590003
A Dark/Fairy mega might actually garner interest, and actually be somewhat justified.
After all, "faeries" in european mythology were typically tricksters, shapeshifters, and/or pranksters who would use illusions to pester people for their own amusement.
>>24590003
Ghost/Dark with one of the broken abilities (Adaptability, Protean, Sheer Force) would be more than enough to make it a 10/10 threat.
And Trace is one of the worst options around, by the way.
>>24590021
You could totally justify making a Kitsune /Fairy, yeah. Fairy needs more representatives that aren't pink moeblobs and you don't have to worry about the new typing hurting Zoroark's popularity among boys since there is none in the first place.
>>24589455
>a few turns
If they're legit retarded.
>>24589530
Boy, are you a fucking dip

>tfw don't have a Wii U so haven't played Sm4sh
How are these nintendo zone events gonna work when the nintendo zone service has been discontinued?
>>24590003
How would Mega-Zoroark even work?
>pretend to be a different pokemon
>exploit the Illusion to get a Nasty Plot off
>Mega Evolve and break the disguise?
>>24590193
I dunno, which is similar to how GF would approach it too. If Illusion is to be kept, probably only work if there is a mon on the team that can also mega evo, or it just drops the illusion and gets a decent ability, or some ability that can be used to actually build a legitimate team around.
Its ability needs to be changed to be disguised at random every time he comes into play
Right now with team preview its too dam easy to know witch poke he is disguieoff
>>24590235
This...100%.
it feels like some intern at nintendo got bored and threw something together
>>24589375
Holy shit. The first time someone said "CHECK SEREBII!" and it wasn't someone crying wolf...wow.
>>24590235
>preview its too dam easy to know witch poke he is disguieoff
Have a team with mons that Zoroark can use.
>>24590187
You go into the regular Mystery Gift Menu and select Local Wireless or whatever the first option is. I'm assuming that though, or it will be one of the options.
The "Nintendo Zone" app was discontinued, but the actual wireless zone was not. The app was pretty much useless for anything except for watching a video if you were some sort of weirdo.
You can currently download stuff for Happy Home Designer...i think the Monster Hunter Feylene villager is available now.
Now it can disguise as Gengar better
I imagine Zoroark will be getting a Mega Evo, then. Huh, I guess the best way to work illusion into it is that the Mega Evolution happens, but no animation is played if Illusion is still active.
Europe when? ;_;
>>24589676
It's not stab..timid... going onto a florges...with base 154 special defense fully invested in HP with a beneficial special defense nature ...Da Fuq did you expect it to do?
so we cant synch the nature and it doesnt have guaranteed 31ivs
This is a nightmare
>>24590293
...
>disguises itself as the last pokemon in the party.
Lern too reed dipshet.
Doesn't matter where zoroark or the other mons are placed...team preview tells you exactly which one mon to look out for.
>ultra ball
Fucking disgusting.
>>24589538
>why
You can't have it in a cherish ball unless you want to give away your plan the moment it comes out.
>Greninja gets Gunk Shot
>Zoroark gets Sludge Bomb
Haha, oh Zoroark.
>>24590419
The Pokeballis disguised too you niggershitter
>>24589375
>ultra ball
Thanks, OP. Just grabbed one and threw it in the bank.
>>24589396
Sorry man, serebii said so, and then it was true.
>>24589535
The bottom screenshot looks bad due to art direction, probably not the best example you could've used.
Well fuck, it's real.
>>24590811
Now I have to wonder, when you send out a Zoroark does it appear to come out of its actual ball or the ball of the Pokémon it's disguised as? If you knew what one of the two's balls were (and they were different from each other) could you use that to figure out it's a Zoroark before you even make a turn against it?
>>24590916
It actually looks like a fucking town, as opposed to a blurry pre-rendered piece of shit like it was on the N64
>>24590957
The buildings are gaudy (some of them at least). If it was just the N64 aesthetics with high quality models it'd be great, but despite the detail increase I like it less because of the building design and the overly bright floor.
>>24589796
Double Battles
>what is Follow Me
>what is Helping Hand
I saw it on Serebii and got mine hours ago. Then I Wonder Traded my old Zoroark and got a female Squirtle who was only missing a perfect Speed IV.
>>24589375
Zoroark would be better if it swapped its speed stat with its special attack
>>24590954
It disguises the ball as well.
>>24589375
I assume it's to celebrate today's release of BREAKthrough TCG set.
Enjoy it, Amerifriends.
>Ultra Ball
>>24589815
On top of that, the pretty cool Night Daze gives it away if it uses it while transformed
>up against tasty ghost or psychic type while transformed
>can't rek it with awesome signature
>>24589815
>>24591401
Night Daze is inferiorto Dark Pulse anyway
>>24590067
You would be surprised how often that shit happens.
>>24589530
If your goal was to disgust me, you have achieved it.
>>24589375
Does it come with Perfect IVs?

Needs pebbles but its something.
Dark/Fighting/Poison is great coverage anyway
>>24591413
It actually hits harder though.
Huh? The pose is a bit different
I know this happen on flying pokemon, they'll stand on ground, but this?
>Mega Zoroark with Protean
Make it happen GF.
>>24592111
They have different animations when you get them through Mystery Gift. Flying types actually stand on the ground and look a 1000000x better.
>>24592111
The animations used via Mystery Gift are the ones used in Amie.

>quirky 0 IV
thank god for pkhex
>auto-leveled to 50, presumably for competition
lol @ anyone who takes zoroark to a tournament
>>24589425
Zoroark's typically used as a lure, so any extra moves only serve to help him out
>>24589375
>GF subtly admitting that fairy type was an overpowered mistake
top kek
Considering how other shitmons like Pangoro learn Sludge Bomb it makes more sense on this dirty playing ruse fox than a panda. The Ultra Ball is a let down tho.
>>24589676
You must be mentally challenged to think someone would try to stay in Florges with that type match up and with it being at 100% HP. Florges however has to watch out from switching on it, if not for the hazards then for the quite common 30% poison chance. It has to do with the NP set too.
This Zoroark is improved a little but nothing amazing either, Fairy type at least doesn't stop it cold.
I'd say the special set is still great with Dark/Fighting/Fire coverage and its best set is still the mixed one.
>>24592356
Sludge bomb is most likely as another anon said, not because fairies but for playing up the Poison type, Zoroark's best disguise. Unfortunately I'd prefer Gunk Shot on it so I can disguise it as a Toxicroak
I dont own a ds, can you get multiple event mons? The reason I ask is because on Pokemon Showdown, you can use event pokemon with perfect stats and natures, which just doesn't seem possible.
>>24592408
It's possible, it just takes a fuckton of autism to actually sit there and SR until you get a perfect specimen.
Same way people got perfect legendaries before Gen VI, really.
>North America
Well, that sucks.
>>24592415
how do they get perfect legendaries now.
>>24592415
>Same way people got perfect legendaries before Gen VI, really.
no, that would be RNG
>>24592419
Its a lot easier with the 3 IV system. For instance, a hoopa event can easily end up with max attack/Sp attack/sp def but mediocre defense, which doesnt matter cuz its piss already
>>24592429
Whats the 3 IV system? It always has 3 max IVs?
>>24592446
At least 3 yes. Apparently this was only intended for Legendaries but in XY it works on anything in the No Egg Group (Riolu, Nidorina, Tyrogue etc)
>>24592368
>I can disguise it as a Toxicroak
Isn't Nasty Plot Toxicroak a thing?
>>24592356
Yeah. Sludge Bomb's main purpose will be getting rid of Whimsicott switch ins.
>>24589375
>http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-289568753
>http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-289576802
Has anyone else been using it? I don't expect it to go up to OU or anything but it's been pretty fun to use and Sludge Bomb is more useful than some people are giving it credit for. I've mostly been disguising it as Mega Lopunny because everyone's first reaction to seeing a Lopunny is to throw their bulky Ground and Psychic types at it ASAP.
>>24592470
I suppose but Toxicroak is pretty weak on the special side, why would you use it when Gunk Shot exists?
>>24590360
you can already get it if starting oras via hans with english language :^)
>>24592489
Because Vacuum Wave and overall better special movepool.
>>24591413
>higher base power
>40% chance to reduce target's accuracy vs. 20% chance to make target flinch
>"b-but muh Dark Pulse!"
Sure, anon.
>>24592678
>illusion diguises you as another pokemon.
>only zorakre and its pre evolution learn night daze.
>hence dark pulse being better for not giving you away the moment you use it.
>>24592698
You'd be surprised how many people don't realize that Miltank cannot, in fact, learn Night Daze, until they land the knock-out blow.
>>24592712
>knockout blow
You mean any hit. taking a single point of daamge from a direct attack is enough to break illusion and reveal zoraok
>Europe gets it by serial code
No fucking wonder people inject.
>>24589375
WHO CARES
JUST GIVE US POKEMON Z ALREADY
>>24592716
But with how squishy zoroark is, that first hit's usually enough to knock it out. If not, it'll get knocked out by the next attack.
Either way, you've got nothing to lose, so why not hit them with the move that'll hurt more?
>>24592746
Because event distributions have an effect on game launches?
>>24592832
Because a zoraok disguised as a wobbafett or shedinja can be used to gain momentem fairly eaisly with u-turn
>>24592832
Flinching is a more useful side effect than lowering accuracy, and you don't want to risk Night Daze missing
>>24592698
That only matters if you're disguising it as Gengar or another Dark type or some shit. If you're like this guy >>24592488 and you disguise it as Mega Lopunny or whatever then it doesn't matter which one you use, they're going to know it's a Zoroark either way.
>>24592712
Working against shitters doesn't means it's good.
should I settle senpai?
>naive
>28/29 SpAtt IVs
>30/31 Speed IVs
>decent Attack IVs
>30/31 Def IVs and decent HP IVs for giggles
>>24590003
1. Being used less in competitive play is a good thing for Zoro users. If you don't use it as a lead and you give it a good sweeping partner for synergy, he's based.
2. A Focus Blast alternative. Between Focus Miss, Dark Pulse and now Gunk Shot, he has perfect coverage. Too bad Focus Miss is shit.
>>24592678
Night Daze has an additional edge over Dark Pulse in that NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK IT IS and your opponent will oftenn initially assume you're using an obscure physical move like Assurance.
>>24593114
Clone pls and trad to me senpaii
>>24593247
I would if I had two 3DSs, sorry pal
>>24593308
Why not clone using Pkhex?
>>24592678
I think reducing accuracy is illegal in the current meta game
>>24593345
Yeah 'tis a darn shame.
Also, I'd kinda like the event to be "Legitimate" in a sense.
>>24593359
I don't have any of that shit. I'm not opposed to hacking really though.
It's nice to have genuine Pokémon though
>>24593363
reducing accuracy has never been illegal in the metagame; only boosting evasion. there's a reason you don't see a bunch of shitposting about sand attack
I feel like a lot of people ITT don't understand how to use Zoroark.
You're not supposed to try to fool the opponent forever, you're supposed to fool them for one turn, strike, switch out, and potentially fool them again. Having Zoroark's moveset be something that the pokemon it's disguised at would already have would... kind of ruin the point?
Nobody's leaving in Clefable on a Gengar because they'd expect Sludge Bomb but they wouldn't from, say, a Sableye.
>>24593389
Tbh I don't find using pkhex to clone "hacking" in a sense, just the generation of pokemon to be the "hacking" part.
Has anyone got a clone I could possibly have? I can make you something in PKHEX if that helps?
>>24593905
If I make exact replica of zoroark in pkhex with OT Number and ID, trade?
>>24593940
Im after a legit one-I can trade it for a clone of a legit UK Hoopa :)
>>24593956
Already got a 5iv legit UK hoopa ty
But desu it'd be as legit down to the ball/OT number nobody would know diff kek
>>24593978
Yeah OK then,lets give it a whirl-you know all the legit data for it then I guess? You after anything in return?
>>24593995
Not really desu. Just checking up the data for it's OT rn.
I could probably use some decent legitimate VGC mon like a bulky garchomp but thats about it rlly
What nature/moves/stats you want on the Chomp?

Typhlosion is still outclassed by Delphox and Houndoom
>>24592156
>different animations
Those are their poses from Amie.
>>24589375
Absolutely terrible. Stupid OT, no announcements, dumb move. At least give the special snowflake a fun move like Hurricane orPsystrike
>>24595237
Sludge Bomb gives Zoroark perfect coverage and a way to OHKO fairies. He was a fun pokemon last gen but a nearly unusable one this gen because of fairies.
Sludge Bomb was the best move it could gain besides maybe Aura Blast.
>>24596277
You mean Sphere. Who cares, it has Focus Blast anyway.
>>24592273
>A flying pokemon is actually flying
>"HOW DARE THEY!?"
I know that the main complain is the gliding animations, but Charizard actually flap the wings, so I really don't see a problem.
>>24596375
You mean Focus Miss.
Zoroark is awesome but Focus Miss is fucking terrible.
>>24592104
>>24592678
It breaks the illusion though.
>>24596543
Only if you're disguised as another Dark type that uses Dark Pulse, which is a stupid way to use Zoroark to begin with.
