That assumes the Sylveon knows to use Hyper Voice right away, though. A username like yours, I'd have thought you'd factor in the possibility of tricking Sylveon with Illusion. It's not a sure thing, of course, but it sure as hell gives Zoroark a fighting chance.

The problem is that as long as Team Preview exists, Zoroark is pretty much begging to get exposed. You can play mind games to a certain extent, but... well, there's a reason she's UU.

Several fairy types that were insurmountable hard counters to Zoroark get turned into checks by virtue of Sludge Bomb, and people still aren't satisfied.
'Tis a sad day. Open your minds, people.
...That said, Zoroark is still a poor Pokemon in general, relying on gimmicks due to the fact that its bulk is nonexistent and speed and power creeps have made its offensive stats less impressive, but Sludge Bomb is still a welcome addition.
At least Japan got Shiny Bacon Bird. Now we just gotta wait for it to come to the West.

CoroCoro's gonna leak sometime next week, I just know it. I bet it's a game announcement because of Junichi Masuda showing up on Pokenchi soon.
He's been on the previous incarnations of the show a few times without making a game announcement, so I'm not convinced that his presence means anything important.
Well I doubt those times 99.99% of the world was expecting an announcement, there were new formes of the obvious 3rd member of the trio as well as a new anime series to highlight said formes lol

Yeah, team preview kinda does screw Zoroark over somewhat, but still, the potential for mind games is beautiful.

Fair, I suppose.

What I find strange is that Masuda bothered to let his followers on Twitter know a good whole month ahead of time that he was appearing on Pokenchi. We usually don't find out about something like that until the week before, not a whole month before. The only reason I can think of for doing that is to create more prolonged hype from a business standpoint, but I'm most likely wrong. It's also funny how CoroCoro is due to leak less than 5 days before his appearance. I would assume it's something Game Freak-related because he's one of the head people, but we'll see in about a week I guess.

Honestly, with Pokemon XY&Z, it HAS to be a Pokemon Z (or similar named title) announcement.
Well it hasn't worked for me, my hype has gone down drastically for this eventual announcement since Worlds.

There's also this Pokédex Z thing and I think even Pokémon Tretta has a Z variant. Maybe Pokémon Z was supposed to come out this year, but had to be delayed.

I had never heard of Pokedex Z, so I just googled it. All that came up was a fan-made app. Are you talking about something different?

And yes, it's official merchandise.

Wonder why that didn't pop up when I googled it. You'd think official merchandise would come up before fan-made apps. (On an unrelated note, as a kid I would have really wanted a toy like that.)

There have been assorted Pokedex toys in this vein since gen 1
