Woohoo! And it's a new type combo to boot!

Wait guys, someone brought up a good point, it could be a mistranslation.
For all we know it could just me they're regular ghost types.
But them matching Mai's hair clip and her being Normal typed themed says otherwise to me.

Seems Hisuian Zoroark is still a master of illusion. The one it cast to scare off the researcher startled me too. This is Halloween season after all.

Serebii lists normal/ghost for typing and Japanese readers confirm of proper punctuation to confirm normal/ghost typings.
It's not a mistranslation.

Just as I thought, the older Pokemon was just protecting its kid. Also, I was right months ago, those folk tales really were describing Zoroark

Black and White, Yin and Yang, Light and Dark.
well that was highly expected. Even got to see Hisuan Zoroark. Pity we’ll likely never know why they vanished in the modern day lmao.

If these forms are added to competative with the Illusion ability they are quite broken, 2 resistances and 3 Immunities only 1 weakness.
Illusion it against any fighting, ghost or normal type and it makes quite fun.

1 weakness tho. Infinitely better than most type combos.

I didn’t think of that. It’s only weak to Dark!

Normal/Ghost is very good, actually. No damage from Normal, Fighting, and Ghost, half damage from Poison and Bug, and they're weak to Dark. As long as the stat spread is good and they have good moves, it should be similar to having a normal Zoroark.

So just speculation but I feel like Mai's team atm for rematches are.
Ursaring, Hisuian Zoroark, Wyrdeer and Snorlax

Get ready for a lot of people nicknaming them Ammi, Amaterasu, Kami or Okami.

Realization that modern day Zoroark is strong against Hisuian Zoroark

We've only gotten literal depictions and not mythical.
Sentret-Has traits of the Tanuki and Raccoons but is also mixed with ferret, meerkat and flying squirrel design cues and behaviors.
Zigzagoon-Is more close to resemble a Raccoon or a real Raccoon Dog/Tanuki but also loses this look to look closer to that of a Badger/Mongoose, design. Even the Galarian form loses the Raccoon look to appear closer to European Badgers and even take on a Gnoll appearance.
I too would love a straight up Raccoon/Tanuki pokemon that either wholly looks like an North American Raccoon or actually uses the mysticism of Tanuki depicitons in folklore. Leaves included.
