October's Top Pick: Zorua
what's actually worth your time / candy
Get ready for Zorua Community Day on October 10, 2026! This is your prime opportunity to catch plenty of Zorua, hunt for perfect IVs, and stock up on candy. While not a top-tier contender for every battle, Zorua offers unique utility and is a must-have for collectors.
Zorua is a Normal and Ghost-type mon, giving it a unique defensive profile. With base stats of 153 ATK, 78 DEF, and 120 STA, it has decent attack power. However, be aware of its single, but significant, weakness: Dark-type attacks deal 1.6x damage. Plan accordingly if you encounter it in raids or gym battles.
To effectively counter Zorua, focus on powerful Dark-type attackers. Your best bets include Mega Weavile, Mega Tyranitar, and Yveltal. These mons will exploit Zorua's weakness and help you secure the catch or clear raids efficiently.
Hunting for a perfect Zorua? Keep these CP values in mind: A wild hundo Zorua will have 1007 CP. For research encounters, look for 503 CP. If you're raiding, a perfect Zorua will be 671 CP, or 839 CP if weather-boosted (Fog or Windy).
While Zorua doesn't currently hold a strong position in PvP, its unique typing and potential for its evolution Zoroark make it a valuable addition to your collection. Community Day is the ideal time to secure high IV specimens and gather enough candy to evolve and power up. Prioritize catching as many as possible to find those perfect stats!
