Battle notes
- Zoroark's Dark typing is best attacked with Fighting (2x), Bug (2x), Fairy (2x). Start with those attacking types when choosing moves or counter Pokémon.
- Avoid relying on common Psychic, Ghost, Dark attacks unless they have unusually high power or a secondary purpose, because Zoroark resists or ignores those matchups.
- This guide uses the modern Gen 6+ type chart only. Abilities, held items, Terastallization, weather, fields, and special move rules can still change real battle outcomes.
