Zorua is a dark-type Pokemon that is quite elusive and hard to find in Pokemon GO. It is a sly Pokemon that has the ability to mimic a Buddy Pokemon’s appearance. This ability makes them quite hard to distinguish on the map view. However, it is possible to catch Zorua in Pokemon Go and we will explain how in this guide.
How To Catch Zorua In Pokemon Go?
The Zorua is a tricky Pokemon to catch because it takes the shape of your Buddy Pokemon when appearing in the wild. However, there are a number of tips that you can follow to catch this Pokemon easily. The procedure to catch this Pokemon is basically the same as any other Pokemon. Once you spot a Pokemon that you suspect might be Zorua, you must click on them to try and catch them.
To decrease confusion, you can assign a Shiny Pokemon as your Buddy. Shiny Pokemon do not appear as Shiny while in the world map. However, the Zorua imitating your Buddy will appear as a Shiny version on the map. This is a great way to know that the Pokemon you have encountered is not a Shiny variant of your Buddy Pokemon but the elusive Pokemon in disguise.
Once you have captured the “Buddy Pokemon”, the screen will reflect the “Oh?” message instead of the usual “Gotcha!” that is common after catching a Pokemon in the game. This will also be accompanied by a special animation indicating that you have caught the dark-type Pokemon. Zorua will then transform into its true self and be added to the Pokedex.
This is how you can catch the slippery Zorua Pokemon in Pokemon Go. We hope this guide was helpful for you. For more Pokemon Go guides, check out How To Get Raid Pass In Pokemon Go?
