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.

The design is both cooler and cuter than the usual fox masks, as it is based on the motif of Zoroark.
