Questions people ask

Is Zoroark good in Pokemon GO?
Not for battle. Zoroark has no ranked PvP, raid or Max Battle role, so keep one for the Pokedex and transfer the rest.
Should I keep or transfer Zoroark?
Zoroark has no job in PvP, raids, or Max Battles. Keep one for the Pokedex, and transfer the rest for candy.
Is Zoroark a good raid attacker?
Zoroark ranks #72 of 363 dark attackers with 13.2 DPS. That is outside the top 15, so it is not a raid priority.
Can Zoroark be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes. Shiny Zoroark is available from evolution, photobomb, research, wild. A shiny is worth keeping for the collection no matter its IVs.
