So uh, am I retarded or is this actually viable? Sounds like it'd be pretty good and lots of fun if you read well enough. Never actually played a Zoroark, but that ability is appealing to me.

You're choice banding yourself into Pursuit or Sucker punch, if you pick wrong you're fucked.

Also with pursuit you're relying entirely on your disguise.

it's definitely useable. low sweep and u-turn are also options. the main problem is that because of it's illusion ability it doesn't gain surprise factor from going physical. often doing something like this is mostly advantageous because people don't see it coming. people don't really see zoro coming in general.

i like to just go mixed nature for u-turn but ev invest in special.

Yeah, it's risky as fuck for sure. The question is, can the reward be anywhere near worth the risk?

probably make sure you run U-turn too so you can switch in case either is not a good choice or you suspect an non attack move.

This might be funny but it requires HEAVY thinking and prediction on your part:

Sucker Punch
Pursuit
U-Turn
Fling

Sucker if you think it will be an all out attacker.

Pursuit if it looks like an obvious switch

U-Turn if you don't think either are a good choice and want to get out of there.

And lastly, what i think is kind of funny: If you want to stay in but don't want to be locked in to a move, fling the choice band for big dommage and not lock yourself in to something,

overall you should just use lifeorb. zoroark isn't a sturdy mon to begin with. the life loss is basically irelevent.

,,,Yeah, that 10 power Fling, not so sure about that. I'm thinking about Return or Low Sweep for the last slot. I guess Aerial Ace and Dig are also options, but not very appealing ones.

On another note, one of the funniest things with this set against unexpecting people other than OHKOing would be:
>Slowbro goes first (!?), uses U-Turn
>Out comes Slowbro
>Their face

eh I was just suggesting it if you didn't want to be locked into a move not for actually killing things.

Low sweep is fine but you have to transfer or gen one then.

Looks like Low Sweep is legal in Gen VI to me, am I missing something?

I didn't say it wasn't legal I just said you'd need to transfer one since a kalos born one couldn't have it. or if you are planning on doing this on showdown then never mind me.

I play rating battles in-game. Thing is, there seems to be a TM in XY that teaches Low Sweep, so I think a Kalos-born one could have it.

Do not run both. Pursuit is not even that useful anymore unless youre attack is Tyranitar levels and you have the defense to fight the switch.

Trick is probably the best move on Zoroark. Ive had several games where the disguise alone fucks up there wall when its locked on a move and useless most of the
Match

Trick is Gen V only though. Are you allowed to play that in rated battles? In-game that is, not Smogon.

It's not even a trip; noko, for some obscure reason, named the thread after himself.

Noko used to redirect you to your own thread after making it instead of risking losing track of it right away on the faster boards. Doesn't seem to be necessary anymore, but I haven't posted much the last six months or so, it's just an old habit.
