No. 571: Zoroark

master of the Three Sword Style, they call him Poke Hunter Zoroark.

Damn, call the anime police, we have a SSJ3 werewolf on the loose. I'm not sure what is even going on with that coloration - the very tip looks again like a paintbrush, but then it defies all expectations and turns red again, all the way to the roots. Except then there are frosted black tips! That hair really doesn't know what the hell is going on, and neither do I.

aside from that, Zoroark is cool. He looks ready for action, or at least sneak attacks. Also he specializes in Special Attack, something you don't see very often from Dark-types. Pity he learns his signature move, Night Daze, so late. Also I am just now realizing that the things Dark-types are meant to counter often have more Sp. Defense than Phys. Defense, so Zoroark being the exception is really kind of a bad thing.

He reminds me of Lucario for some reason, and if he was Dark/Fighting I would totally use one. As it is, there are just so many other badass Pokemon with a Dark subtype that I can't really justify messing around with him. For the "first revealed Pokemon" of the generation, you'd think he'd be more special, pack more of a punch, but he's still solid.


Overall: 7/10
