How to use Zoroark Hisui in the current VGC format?

**To use Zoroark Hisui effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Normal/Ghost type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Zoroark Hisui appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Zoroark Hisui fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Illusion, Choice Scarf and Timid 2/0/0/32/0/32. Its frequent moves include Hyper Voice, Bitter Malice, Icy Wind, Shadow Ball, Protect, and Taunt. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Zoroark Hisui has important weaknesses to dark 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Whimsicott, Farigiraf, Incineroar, Garchomp, and Sinistcha appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
