I just imagine Hisuian Zoroark hiding in the dark, then out of nowhere yeeting a citizen then doing whatever the fck Shad White means
3 hours ago by BananaBroSHSID
Haven't done this in a while, so here is a Google Translate version of the SD Horoark post I made recently:

Country Dance Sword Dex Type + Z-Move

Zoroark-Hisui @ Demon Z / Defeat Z
Skills: Fun.
Roof type: flat
Power consumption: 252 atk / 4 hp / 252 hp
Interesting creation
- Shad White
- Citizen
- Shortball
- Hide in the Dark

Z sword dance is an optional group attack option (or HO). This set can be used as both a normal army and a ghost army. As for the Hisuian Zoroark, it has one advantage: a powerful STAB attack that can be used in Poltergeist mode.

The Sword Dance allows the Hisuian Zoroark to increase its attack, which eventually turns it into a powerful sweeper. Poltergeist uses Zoroark's powerful STAB move, as it can perform 2HKOs or OHKOs on Pokémon that can't resist or defend against Ghost moves (although, some Dark-types like Hydreigon and Alola Muck get 2HKOs on +) ) . The game features Ursaluna, Tyrannitar, Lopunny, Dragon, Terapagosi, Samurott, Greninja, and Vyv. I think that’s a great idea and the best way to do it. This is the Hisui Zoroark that you really want to use against Low Kick, it is so strong that Low Kick cannot be affected. The breath provides good protection for the Zoroark until the Ditto hits it or the Zoroark hits it. Shadow Sneak is a reversible front STAB move that kills fast Pokémon that are too weak for Shadow Sneak to catch. Instead, you should consider using Knock Off to hit Zoroark Hisuian enemies with precision, but keep in mind that you should only use Knock Off to hit Hisuian Zoroark enemies because the Poltergeist item a is your so that the Pokémon can attack the necessary enemies. Ghostium Z Hisuian Zoroark The use of a single-colored nuclear attack allows the Pokémon to counter physical defenses such as Celesteela, Corviknight, Hippopowdon, Skarmory, and Toxapex. Z-Poltergeist gives Hisuian Zoroark a special Spirit move that cannot be unlocked and can be used on Pokémon that are missing/using their element. You can also use FIghtinium Z if you want to power up brass types like Beetle Beast and Scorpion, and unlock dark beasts like Ting-Lu, Wolf Beast, and Alolan Muk. This means that you should use Ghost Z for the normal team and Fightinium Z for the Ghost team.

Trick Tip: If you’re using it on normal difficulty, I recommend playing Hisuian Zoroark as Ursaluna, as the awesome move can work and Ursaluna can use the sword dance on you. While I find Zoroark-Hisui gives better results than Ursaluna, you can also play as other Normal characters due to their melee attack abilities. For the Spirit class, you can use a Hisuian Zoroark like Cerulej to block physical attacks, both of which have Poltergeist, Shadow Sword, and Darkness Concealment. Mimikyu can also work, as she can use sword dance and sword dance, and she is also susceptible to Ghost, which opens up unique customization options. Additionally, you can disguise Hisuian Zoroark as an effective weapon like Galaria Corsola for Pokemon that allows you to evade attacks or dance at speed by using Galaria Corsola as a preparation.
