Hisuian Zoroark provides a vital role on Normal teams thanks to its Fighting immunity, empowering it to check otherwise problematic threats like Choice Specs Keldeo and Body Press Skarmory. Shadow Ball provides Hisuian Zoroark's main offensive output blasting through threats like Archaludon, Gholdengo, Sinistcha. Flamethrower melts through Steel-types such as Iron Treads, Corviknight, and Excadrill. Focus Blast slams Dark- and Normal-types Ting-Lu, Hydreigon, and Porygon2, along with majorly pressuring Hisuian Goodra. Finally, Trick can cripple would-be checks to Hisuian Zoroark, such as Blissey and Alolan Muk.
Ursaluna serves as a great offensive compliment to Hisuian Zoroark, easily breaking through special walls like Clodsire, Hisuian Goodra, and Swampert while appreciating Hisuian Zoroark checking physical walls such as Skarmory and Sinistcha. Blissey provides strong support with Stealth Rock to wear down threats such as Landorus and Hoopa-U; and Thunder Wave to enable Hisuian Zoroark to outspeed Flutter Mane and Darkrai while also checking these threats thanks to its titanic special bulk. Porygon2 checks physical attackers capable of outspeeding Hisuian Zoroark, like Iron Boulder, physical Dragapult variants, and Cinderace. Braviary provides a ground immunity, enabling it to check the likes of Choice Scarf Great Tusk and Sand Rush Excadrill along with using U-Turn to safely bring Hisuian Zoroark in. Terapagos can use Rapid Spin to help Hisuian Zoroark stay healthy along with using powerful coverage options like Ice Beam and Flamethrower to deal with annoying threats such as Gliscor and Choice Scarf Gholdengo, respectively. Choice Scarf Ditto can turn setup attempts on Hisuian Zoroark from foes like Hisuian Samurott and Calm Mind Raging Bolt right back in their face. Choice Scarf Indeedee-M can outspeed and check non choice scarf variants of threats like Sneasler and Iron Valiant, l along with providing Psychic Terrain, preventing priority from Scizor and Bisharp from removing Hisuian Zoroark.

Other Options
=============
Normal
-----------
U-Turn can be used providing Hisuian Zoroark a way to pivot against would be checks such as Clodsire, Hoopa-U and Hisuian Goodra and bring in teammates like Ursaluna whom can handle them. Psychic can be used to check Fighting-types like Keldeo, Okidogi, and Great Tusk. Both of these options either give up crucial coverage options or Trick, along with Hisuian Zoroark's speed tier making it slower than threats such as Sneasler and Iron Valiant making Psychic a less desirable option overall. Grass Knot can be used to ease up Normal's Water and Ground matchups cleanly removing threats like Swampert and Hippowdon. Will-O-Wisp can spread Burn, crippling switch ins like Alolan Muk and Hisuian Goodra
