In keeping with its Tricky Fox category, catching Zorua in Pokémon Go involves falling prey to one of its illusions.
Despite a troublesome launch, Zorua is now available until Tuesday, 1st November at 10am (local time).
Below we’ve covered how to get Zorua and evolve it into Zoroark in Pokémon Go, so, when the time comes, you can add these Gen 5 Pokémon to your Pokédexs.

Instead, Zorua was released (or re-released if you prefer) on Friday, 28th October and will be available until Tuesday, 1st November 10am (local time), which is when 2022’s Halloween event ends.
Zorua will appear as a perfect replica of your buddy Pokémon - even if that buddy Pokémon is shiny. To catch a Zorua, you will need to capture a fake buddy and, afterwards, it will, in a similar manner to Ditto, reveal itself to be a Zorua.
At the time of writing, we’re unsure whether having your buddy Pokémon adventuring alongside you is a requirement for Zorua spawning or effects the spawn rate in anyway. For this reason, we highly recommend ensuring your buddy is walking around on the map when you’re hunting for Zorua.
If you’d like to see how catching Zorua works, then watch this video uploaded to Twitter by @xxLordSupreme:
The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
Since Zorua is currently only available for a very short amount of time, we highly recommend using Pinap Berries when attempting to catch it. These berries, along with the Halloween event bonuses, will mean that you’ll gather a good amount of Zorua candy very quickly. You may even have enough to evolve it into Zoroark!
Good luck catching Zorua!
