Lazuli's Zoroark (Japanese: ラズリのゾロアーク Razuri's Zoroark) is the third Pokémon that Lazuli was shown to possess during her travels in the Unova region.

New Era

Unova

Zoroark was captured as a Zorua sometime after Lazuli's arrival in the Unova region. She was first seen during Lazuli's battle against Ryder's Dwebble at the finals of the Club Battle tournament, where through the usage of her Illusion Ability, she emerged as a Larvesta.

yder starts the battle by ordering Dwebble to use Rock Slide, but "Larvesta" dodges the attack and fires Night Daze, and Ryder seems surprised to see Larvesta knowing such a move. However, when Dwebble strikes "Larvesta" with Slash, it turns out that "Larvesta" was in fact a Zorua, and Lazuli had planned to fool Ryder before the match started by giving him a false information. Don George praises Lazuli's strategy, and compliments her skills as a Trainer. Ryder grins and admits having fell for it, but Lazuli's advantage was over, and commands an X-Scissor, but Lazuli has Zorua dodge the attack before using Shadow Ball, but Dwebble uses Shell Smash, decreasing its Defense, but drastically increasing its Speed, allowing him to evade the attack. Zorua then uses Attract and Dwebble becomes infatuated with Zorua, therefore revealing that Zorua was female. Without any way to defend himself, Dwebble is defenseless against Zorua's barrage of Shadow Balls, but Ryder recalls Dwebble before sending it out again, therefore nullifying Attract's effects, and Don George compliments Ryder on his quick thinking.

Dwebble uses Slash while Zorua uses Scratch. The two dive towards each other but Dwebble dodges the opposing Pokémon's attack and slams Zorua to the ground. Lazuli follows up with Shadow Ball while Dwebble charges up Rock Slide. The two attacks collide into an explosion. The smokescreen clears and both Pokémon are standing, glaring at each other. However, Dwebble suffered far more damage due its decreased Defense and collapses, therefore Zorua wins the battle, and Lazuli is declared the winner of the Club Battle tournament. The crowd cheers for Lazuli and she is gifted a display case of Wings. She stands in the center of the stadium with her Zorua, who seems to be relishing the glory.

During the Clubsplosion tournament, it was shown that Zorua had evolved into Zoroark, when she was summoned to battle against Flora's Gothorita. Zoroark is commanded to use Dark Pulse, but Gothorita dodges then counterattacks with Double Slap. Zoroark's eyes glow and Lazuli commands her to use Extrasensory and Flora tells Gothorita to counter with Psyshock. The two attacks colliding causes the field to become covered in a dust cloud. Lazuli takes advantage of the situation and tells Zoroark to use Night Daze. She is able to land a sneak attack on Gothorita and it is knocked out of the tournament. Lazuli and Zoroark smile in confidence as the audience cheers.

The next day, the second round begins. Don George announces Lazuli and Tyrone for the first battle. Don George invites Tyrone and his Sawk to the field. Zoroark uses Dark Pulse, which Sawk uses Close Combat to block and move towards Zoroark. Sawk finishes Close Combat to knock Zoroark down to the ground. Don George calls it a head on match. Sawk uses Karate Chop and Zoroark grabs onto Sawk's hand. Sawk sends Zoroark hard to the ground. Zoroark is able to stand up and Tyrone comments that he is tough as Lazuli says the same about Sawk. Sawk uses Low Sweep which Zoroark tries to dodge, but Sawk makes contact and knocks her out. Lazuli tells Zoroark that she did a good job and Zoroark cheers up as a result.

Personality and Characteristics

Zoroark is rather proud and considers herself a strong Pokémon. She and her Trainer share a strong bond, as both Zoroark and Lazuli's personalities are almost a perfect match: Both are strong-willed, both are talented on their respective areas and both have an unique battling style and training methods.

Prior to her evolution, Zoroark was rather playful and mischievous, seen as after her victory over Ryder and his Dwebble at the Club Battle tournament, Zoroark was seen to enjoy all the glory and attention she was receiving. As a result of her proud nature, Zoroark can become quite upset and depressed whenever she loses a battle, or feels she wasn't capable of having a good performance, but Lazuli's words of encouragement quickly make her overcome this, further suggesting their strong bond.

Much like her Trainer, Zoroark is a brilliant strategist, using her Illusion Ability to throw off her opponents by using moves that the Pokémon she'd transformed into are not known to use, therefore causing her opponents to become confused and drop their guard. Even after this facade is exposed, Zoroark uses whatever shock of realization her opponent showcases to take the initiative in the battle and gain advantage.
