Legends: Arceus Zorua Best Moveset

Nothing fancy here. Zorua builds around Berryjuice for extra utility, Naive nature for the right stat lean, and spread EVs. Illusion does its job quietly.

Best Build

Legends: Arceus uses different battle mechanics.

Competitive build content is not applicable for this game. Select a main series game for builds.

Moves

Zorua's options are limited here. You've got Dark Pulse and Snarl for STAB damage, but there isn't much beyond Dark hitting power. TMs help fill gaps, though the kit stays tight.
