Strategy & play
How Zoroark plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is search / tutoring. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Needs Darkness Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Darkness type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥50 effectively one-shots it.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Zorua; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
- Seen in 1% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 1 copy.
How to beat Zoroark
- Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥50 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Zoroark is real?
Zoroark is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
