How to get Zorua in Pokemon Go

The tiny fox Zorua has been part of the Pokemon Go world since 2022, and currently, the only way players can get one is as a wild encounter in the game. However, as an illusionist, it’s very hard to spot Zorua as it takes the shape of your current Buddy.

So, to make things easier for you, you should pick a very rare spawn or even a hard-to-find Shiny as your companion. That way, when you see it duplicated on the map, you’ll know that’s a Zorua for sure.

You should also take advantage of this Pokemon’s spawn rate being increased during the World of Wonders: Taken Over event, which will last until March 31, 2024, at 11:59 PM local time.

How to evolve Zorua into Zoroark in Pokemon Go

The evolution process for Zorua is quite simple, as it only has one stage, and it doesn’t need any special items, requirements, or Buddy tasks.

To evolve Zorua into Zoroark, players just need to feed it 50 Zorua Candy.

Due to how hard it is to find a Zorua in the game, the trickiest part is gathering the required amount of Candy. So, every time you spot this creature, use a Pinap Berry to duplicate the Candy you get per catch.

Remember you can also transfer your extra Pokemon to Professor Willow in exchange for more Candy and you can always set it up as your Buddy to make everything easier for you.

Can Zorua be Shiny in Pokemon Go?

Yes, Zorua can be Shiny in Pokemon Go as this special variation was added during the Halloween 2023 – Part 2 event.
