Zoroark is a Stage 1 Darkness-type Pokemon card from the Secluded Springs of Pokemon TCG Pocket. It’s currently getting a Promo event, giving players a better chance to get their hands on it. So in this guide we will look at the best way to build a deck around Zoroark and which cards go alongside it.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Best Zoroark Deck Guide Overview

The main draw of using Zoroark is its ability, Illusive Trickery. If Zoroark KOs a Pokemon, then this ability activates. This prevents all effects of the opponent’s attacks, including damage on it for the next turn.

As Zoroark’s move Night Daze is only 70 base power, it needs a secondary attacker to work alongside it. Silvally seems to be the best bet here, dealing 100 damage after you play a Supporter.
