PVP Mode Explanatory Notes

PvP Moveset Explanation
Shadow Claw + Foul Play and Sludge Bomb or Flamethrower

Shadow Claw is one of the best Fast Moves in the game, and boasts good damage output and energy gains. Snarl falls behind in damage output despite benefiting from STAB, and narrowly offers slightly higher energy generation. 

Foul Play is the main Charge Move due to STAB and lesser energy costs compared to other options. Sludge Bomb is recommended for its coverage against Fairy-type Pokemon, though Zoroark's fragility will likely cause it to lose to Charm before it can use Sludge Bomb. Flamethrower alternatively has a niche against Zoroark's weakness to Bug-type Pokemon. 

PvP Rating Explanation
Great League: 1 / 5

Zoroark is incredibly squishy in Great League due to its high ATK stat. Its fragility mirrors that of Haunter and Gengar, but the lack of a low cost Charge Move makes it less viable by comparison. Its moveset overall is still very strong, but Zoroark simply cannot survive long enough to benefit from it. 

Ultra League: 1 / 5

Zoroark's only purpose here is to counter Ghost and Psychic Pokemon. Cresselia's Moonblast is almost a OHKO against Zoroark's lack of bulk, which is something to keep in mind. 

Master League: 0 / 5

The theme of Zoroark in PvP has, is, and probably always will be: stats. Or in the case of Master League, the lack thereof.
