>>26449746A lot of people might say to disguise it as a poison type. It makes sense do to the weaknesses/resistances of Dark and Poison complementing each other so well.
That said...it's the most common disguise for a Zoroark to take. Ergo, most "top" players won't fall for it. So, you could go "anti-meta" and disguise it as something completely random. It's worked for me. I mean, one time my "blastoise" was in against a ferrothorn, and "blastoise" used flamethrower. It was definitely a fun time. A one-off admittedly, but still fun. So, mix it up.
One last tip...DON'T LEAD WITH ZOROARK.
For the love of Christ's foreskin, I can't tell you how many turn one knock outs I've made when the opponent has a zoroark on the team.
Turn one, Leads are my Galvantula and his "Muk."
>Oh, he'll never expect it.Turn one move select. Bug Buzz...It's a one-shot. Zoroark's Illusion wears off...and opponent mysteriously DC's.
Seriously, It's such a common noob strat to lead with zoroark since it's so "unexpected." No, I expect it almost every god-damn time.
Play wisely.
