Obtaining Hisuaian Zoroark through Mystery Gift code

For a limited time, you could get a free Hisuian Zoroark by purchasing the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC early. This special Hisuian Zoroark was given to you via a serial code as an early-purchase bonus. Unfortunately, this special gift was only available until Tuesday, October 31, 2023.

This special Zoroark came with the following special features:

  • Happy Hour move – This is a special move that doubles the amount of prize money you receive at the end of a battle.
  • Charismatic Mark
  • Tera Type – Dark
  • It knows the moves Tera Blast, Bitter Malice, Nasty Plot, and Happy Hour
  • No hidden ability

Happy Hour is an exclusive perk for this Pokémon since it cannot learn this move from normal gameplay, making it an unusual move. While it was great to get this Pokémon with exclusive perks, it is no longer available.

How to breed Hisuian Zoroark in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

Breeding Hisuian Zoroark in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is similar to breeding any other Pokémon. There is, however, a bit of a trick to it.

To breed Hisuian Zoroark in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you need to have a Paldean Zoroark of the opposite gender or a Ditto. Under normal circumstances, the egg that you get from this match will get you a Paldean Zorua or the regional form of your current game.

If you are looking for a Hisuian Zorua, you will need to equip your Hisuian Zoroark with an Everstone. This will allow you to get the Hisuian version of Zorua. Remember, you can also use Sandwiches to get the Egg Power bonus.

That is everything you need to know about obtaining the alternate region forms of Zoroark and Zorua in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Make sure you know how to evolve every Pokémon so you can complete your Pokédex. Get prepared for the Pokémon Indigo Disk DLC by prepping your team.
