>>35195790When you compare Lucario and Zoroark you really have to ask if they wanted Zoroark to be popular at all, even ignoring how they totally fucked up promoting it,
>gave Lucario a unique, powerful typing>gave Lucario priority STAB, base 100 power, 100% accuracy special move, and enough moves that you can run whatever kind of Auradog you wantMeanwhile
>Zoroark has a sub par pure Dark typing, which was ass in Gen V's Fighting type meta>made it a mixed attacker but made all it's best options special>no STAB priority>Signature move is a worse Dark Pulse and instantly gives up the whole ruse>only got Sludge Bomb through an eventIt's like they purposely set it up to fail. GF knows exactly what it would take to make a Pokemon good, so it's absurd that they made Zoroark so average in every category.
They should take some stats from Zoro's attack and put them in Speed, turn give Illusion the properties of Disguise and maybe give it Fairy typing.
Now it's both OU and fun as shit to use.
