Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus ", a completely new title in the "Pokémon" series scheduled for release on January 28, 2022 (Friday).
The story takes place in the Jade Region, which is the past of the Shin-Ou Region, the setting of the upcoming "Pokémon: Brilliant Diamonds and Shining Pearl," and is expected to have a high level of action, so we are undeniably excited about this title.
In the recently released " Record of the Jade Region " video, the " Zoroa " and " Zoroark " in the form of Jade were revealed. It was also revealed that they are the first " Normal Ghost " type, which caused quite a stir.
Given such information, it is human nature to want additional information, and the latest video of "Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus" has been released!
Zoroa" and "Zoroark" with white fur
In the video " Part 2: Zoroa and Zoroark in Jade Form ", we can see " Zoroa " and its evolved Pokémon "Zoroark" that appear in "Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus". In the "Zoroa-Zoroark Arceus" episode, you can see a little footage of the jade form of "Zoroa" and its evolved Pokémon " Zoroark.
Zoroark" and "Zoroa" were previously discovered as black-furred Pokémon, but in the Jade Region, they have white fur. Is it because of the environment?

Zoroa, once considered an abomination by humans in another land because of its mysterious visions, was driven from its habitat and moved to the Jade Region. However, Zoroa was unable to withstand the harsh natural environment and the conflicts with other Pokémon, and died out. The soul of the remaining Zoroa was reincarnated as a Ghost type by the energy of its strong resentment toward humans and Pokémon.
It transforms itself into a ghost type to surprise the opponent and turn his/her fear into power.

When it finds a Pokémon or person acting alone, it may appear in its disguised form. Unlike the previously discovered forms, it uses the energy of resentment emitted from the long hairs around its head, neck, and tail to create and display a ghost-like appearance of the other person. It seems to absorb the fear held by the person who sees it and transforms it into its own power.

The energy of resentment radiating from its long hairs, which growl like a living creature, not only gives opponents a frightening apparition, but also damages them from inside and outside the body. It is said that the visions are so terrifying that the person who sees them cannot maintain his or her sanity.
In fact, it is a benevolent Pokémon.

Zoroark is aggressive and hostile toward other Pokémon and humans, but it also seems to have a benevolent side toward its friends and family. It is sometimes seen protecting Zoroa (the form of Jade). If a trusting relationship can be established, it will be a very reliable companion.
Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus will not be released for a while, so we may be able to see new information and the jade form of other Pokémon in the future. Let's wait for more news!
More early pre-order bonuses!
It was announced that "Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus" will come with a " Kimono Set Gardy (Jade form )" as an early pre-order bonus, but now it has been announced that even more early pre-order bonuses will be added!
The " Mask of the Noroigitsune " featuring Zoroark (the shape of Jade) will be available by May 9, 2022 (Monday ) by selecting "Receive via Internet " from the "Mysterious Treasure" menu in the game. The item will be available by May 9, 2022 (Fri.).
The design is both cooler and cuter than the usual fox masks, as it is based on the motif of Zoroark.
In addition to the two types of early purchase benefits, there are also early purchase benefits for the packaged version, as well as benefits for purchasing the game at various stores. The early purchase bonus for the packaged version and the downloadable version are different depending on the method of purchase, so it's a bit tricky to decide which one to get, but be sure to pre-order early!
