Zorua

Black	It changes into the forms of others to surprise them. Apparently, it often transforms into a silent child.
White	To protect themselves from danger, they hide their true identities by transforming into people and Pokémon.
Black 2 White 2	It changes so it looks just like its foe, tricks it, and then uses that opportunity to flee.
X Omega Ruby	It changes so it looks just like its foe, tricks it, and then uses that opportunity to flee.
Y Alpha Sapphire	To protect themselves from danger, they hide their true identities by transforming into people and Pokémon.
Ultra Sun	This Pokémon has a cowardly disposition, so when it’s not around friends, it basically always stays transformed as something else.
Ultra Moon	If a normally talkative child suddenly stops talking, it may have been replaced by Zorua.
Sword	Zorua is a timid Pokémon. This disposition seems to be what led to the development of Zorua’s ability to take on the forms of other creatures.
Shield	Zorua sometimes transforms into a person and goes into cities to search for food. When Zorua does this, it usually takes on the form of a child.
Scarlet	It changes into the forms of others to surprise them. Apparently, it often transforms into a silent child.

Hisuian Zorua
