Zoroark 67/98 · Emerging Powers

Zoroark is Pokédex #571, generation 5 (Unova). Zoroark is a Stage 1 Darkness Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Zorua. In this catalog that name is Zorua (#570).

Zoroark sits at 67/98 in Emerging Powers, position 67 of 98. Before it is 66 Zorua, and after it is 68 Vullaby. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on August 31, 2011. The printed size is 98, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Fury Swipes lists 20× damage. The cost is Darkness. Flip 3 coins. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads. Night Daze is another attack lists 80 damage. The cost is Darkness, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Bonds between these Pokémon are very strong. It protects the safety of its pack by tricking its opponents."

Zoroark (#571) has 40 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2026. The earliest other card is Zoroark BW09/101 in BW Black Star Promos (2011). Both list 100 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Naoki Saito illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 32 other cards of Zoroark list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shin Nagasawa. I count 303 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Emerging Powers set binder is where a full Emerging Powers set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Zoroark can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
