[SET COMMENTS]
Hisuian Zoroark's combination of high Special Attack and Speed, incredible typing, and an excellent ability makes it an important asset of Ghost-type teams. Shadow Ball pairs well with Illusion against Ghost teams, as it is immune to Ghost-type attacks and can attack back with Shadow Ball, knocking out foes like Dragapult and Gholdengo. Focus Blast allows it to deal with Dark-types such as Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott and Choice Specs Greninja, which threaten it. Flamethrower lets it handle Steel-types such as Scizor and Skarmory. Alternatively, Grass Knot can be used to keep Ground- and Water-types such as Hippowdon, Swampert, and Urshifu-R in check. U-turn benefits from Hisuian Zoroark's high Speed stat allowing it to deal chip damage and safely pivot out while also eliminating threats like Choice Scarf Hoopa-U and Choice Band Meowscarada. Trick can be used in place of U-turn and allows Hisuian Zoroark to neutralize threats such as Toxapex, Iron Hands, Dragon Dance Dragonite, and Dragon Dance Gouging Fire.
Hisuian Zoroark's high stats and immunity to Ghost-type moves allow it to be a great partner for all Ghost-types. Gholdengo is a great partner for Hisuian Zoroark, as its Speed tier and typing allow Hisuian Zoroark to use Illusion to its advantage. Gholdengo also serves as a great wallbreaker, eliminating foes such as Primarina and Iron Boulder and providing Hisuian Zoroark with a safe switch-in from incoming Thunder Wave from Pokemon like Blissey and Klefki. Choice Specs Flutter Mane and Mimikyu pair well with Hisuian Zoroark, as they take care of Dragon-type foes such as Roaring Moon and Hydreigon. Dragapult synergizes well with Hisuian Zoroark, forming an offensive core as Choice Scarf Dragapult takes out foes such as Hoopa-U, Kyurem, and Dragonite, which otherwise trouble Hisuian Zoroark, while Hisuian Zoroark eliminates threats like Gholdengo, Mamoswine, and Archaludon. Froslass provides Spikes support to Hisuian Zoroark. Pecharunt assists Hisuian Zoroark by spreading poison and using Parting Shot to bring Hisuian Zoroark in safely. Ceruledge appreciates Hisuian Zoroark, as it clears Ceruledge's enemies such as Toxapex and Air Balloon Heatran, which limit its sweeping capabilities.

Other Options
=============
Poltergeist can be used in place of Shadow Ball, as it does more damage to foes such as Gallade and Spectrier and OHKOes Flutter Mane, but due to its lack of accuracy and Hisuian Zoroark's high Special Attack stat, Shadow Ball is more favorable.
