>>39445079Being an eventmon fucked its chances up. You should have just been able to catch it like any other pokémon. Another gifted egg like Riolu in DPPt would have been too much, and a trickster pokémon like Zorua would be better suited to catching in the wild anyways.
Besides that? I think they'd have to better incentivize battling online/with friends. It's not that satisfying to "trick" an NPC with Zoroark because you know they're just programmed to use an incorrect move, but successfully fooling an actual person is a great feeling. If team preview was gone, obtaining a Zorua was feasible and people battled often, I'm sure Zoroark would stand side by side with Lucario as a successful shillmon.
