In-Depth Analysis
Zorua totals 330 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Special Attack (85) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker HP (35).
Its Normal, Ghost typing leaves Zorua with 1 weakness against 2 resistances and 3 full immunities. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 2 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 75 puts Zorua in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
