Zoroark 71/108 · Dark Explorers

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 71/108 in Dark Explorers, position 71 of 111. Before it is 70 Zorua, and after it is 72 Bisharp. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on May 9, 2012. The printed size is 108. This checklist is longer, at 111 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Brutal Bash lists 20× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Does 20 damage times the number of Darkness Pokémon you have in play. Dark Rush is another attack lists 20× damage. The cost is Darkness, Darkness. Does 20 damage times the number of damage counters on this Pokémon. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 2.

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. Naoki Saito illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics 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 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Dark Explorers set binder is where a full Dark Explorers 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.
