Hisuian Zorua PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Hisuian Zorua is an adorable little Pokémon that lacks the stats to perform in PvE battles like Raids and Gyms. However, its unique and extremely interesting Normal/Ghost-typing makes it a novelty catch in the game.

Hisuian Zorua PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Hisuian Zorua’s ATK-heavy stats and low DEF put it at an awkward spot in the Little Cup,even though it has an excellent defensive typing. Among its viable moves, only Night Shade gets STAB and it's not a superb move in the first place. All these factors result in very few wins for Hisuian Zorua in the Little Cup. 😐

🔵 Great League

With a max CP of only 1360 and the issues stated in the Little Cup section, Hisuian Zorua doesn't work out in the Great League either.

Needless to say, it is too weak for the Ultra and Master League.

💎 The best PvP moves for Hisuian Zorua are Snarl, Foul Play and Night Shade.
