Zoroark 103/203 · Evolving Skies

Zoroark is Pokédex #571, generation 5 (Unova). Zoroark is a Stage 1 Darkness Pokémon with 120 HP. The card says it evolves from Zorua. In this catalog that name is Zorua (#570).

Zoroark sits at 103/203 in Evolving Skies, position 103 of 237. Before it is 102 Zorua, and after it is 104 Nickit. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on 27 August 2021. The printed size is 203. This checklist is longer, at 237 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Phantom Transformation is listed as Ability. Once during your turn, you may choose a Stage 1 Pokémon, except any Zoroark, from your discard pile. If you do, discard this Pokémon and all attached cards, and put the chosen Pokémon in its place. The attack Night Daze lists 70 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "If it thinks humans are going to discover its den, Zoroark shows them visions that make them wander around in the woods." The regulation mark is E.

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). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Naoki Saito illustrated that card, and Souichirou Gunjima 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 Souichirou Gunjima. I count 86 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Evolving Skies set binder is where a full Evolving Skies 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.
