Zoroark-Hisui @ Life Orb / Spooky Plate
Ability: Illusion
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Poltergeist
- Low Kick
- Shadow Sneak
Hisuian Zoroark surprises foes not only with its illusions but with a terrifying Swords Dance set on Ghost teams as shown off during MWP this year. Poltergeist's incredible damage, especially when boosted by Swords Dance, easily allows it to clean up threats like Hisuian Goodra and Gliscor after Stealth Rock chip damage. Low Kick easily handles the Dark- and Normal-types that would take on Hisuian Zoroark's Poltergeist such as Ting-Lu and Blissey. Shadow Sneak provides incredible priority, allowing Hisuian Zoroark to safely pick off faster threats like Dragapult and Tornadus-T. Life Orb provides an incredible power boost, allowing Hisuian Zoroark to OHKO Flutter Mane with Shadow Sneak after minimal chip damage, while Spooky Plate still gives a respectful damage boost while not cutting into Hisuian Zoroark's health, helping with its Illusion. If you're looking to support Hisuian Zoroark, Pecharunt can put bulkier foes like Porygon2 and Rotom-W on timers with Malignant Chain along with providing safe entry for Hisuian Zoroark with Parting Shot. Flutter Mane provides valuable support, as it can easily remove threats that hamper Hisuian Zoroark such as such as Mandibuzz and Archaludon with its powerful Moonblast.
