Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: How to Get (and Evolve) Zorua

Zorua evolves into Zoroark at level 30, but finding the Trickster Fox is not easy in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet due to its illusion ability.
Zorua and its evolution Zoroark are returning Dark-type Pokémon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, but Trickster Fox and Illusion Fox are hard to find because of their unique ability, Illusion. They are inspired by shapeshifting Kitsune of Japanese folklore, except for Zorua, and Zoroark only seem to change shape, an illusion, while kitsune physically alter your body. The movie Zoroark: Master of Illusions proved PokéDex entries to be true; Zoroark is fiercely protective of his kind.
Both Pokemon have the illusion ability and no other potential hidden abilities Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. However, wild Zorua and Zoroark do not accurately display the effects of their captured versions used in battle by players or trainers. Trapped Zorua and Zoroark’s illusion abilities cause the Pokemon to appear as the last Pokemon in that player’s party, and they will appear as that Pokemon until Zorua/Zoroark takes damage. Taking damage disables the Illusion, and both will revert to their normal appearance. Wild Zorua and Zoroark lose their illusion once they engage in battle. However, they will look like other Pokémon before they engage, but their disguise makes finding the two more complicated than most Pokémon.
How to find Zorua and Zoroark
Zorua evolves into Zoroark at level 30, but Zoroark is also found in the wild. Zorua and Zoroark share the disguise mechanism with another Pokemon. Following them will be the same as finding Ditto Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Using the ZL button to enter Lock On mode is suggested by YouTuber AbdallahSmash026 because locking a Pokemon shows its name and level once the player has encountered it before. If the player hasn’t engaged it before, three question marks will replace the name and level. However, Zorua and Zoroark’s Illusion does not affect the name displayed above the Pokemon, and if they have been encountered before, their real name will still appear above them when locked. Players who have not encountered Zorua and Zoroark will still see three question marks above the disguised Pokémon. Identifying all the Pokémon in the area makes it easier to find them than randomly engaging them, especially since both are rare in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
According to the Pokemon database, Zorua and Zoroark have a 10% chance to spawn at their spawn locations. Zorua can be found in two places, Tagtree Thicket i West Province Area Three. Tagtree is located northwest of a fast travel location in Area Three of the Eastern Province. West Province Area Three is northwest of Medali, which has two fast travel locations. Zoroark is found later in the game on Socarrat Trail at the northwest end of Paldea, but catching Zorua early is the best play.
Maybe it’s just the determination of needing to get his Zorua back, but Anime-Zoroark is absurdly powerful. Although Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Zoroark probably couldn’t take on Suicune, Entei and Raikou at the same time like in the movie, he’s still strong. Players planning to use him on their team should take advantage of his high Sp. Attack by grabbing one with a Nature that increases Sp. Attack or use a natural mint to give it the desired nature. Dropping 20,000 on a Chansey supply for a natural mint Pokemon Scarlet and Violet might be the best game because of the rarity of Zorua and Zoroark.
