Nicknames for Zoroark and Zorua, all 12 characters or fewer: illusion and disguise names like Masque and Decoy, trickster picks like Ruse and Hoax, dark and red-mane names, ghost and snow names such as Snowghost for the Hisuian forms, plus puns and shiny picks.

About Zoroark names

Zorua is a small Dark-type fox that evolves into Zoroark at level 30, and both carry the Illusion ability: they enter battle looking like the last Pokemon in your party. These are nicknames a player gives a Zorua or Zoroark, not official names and not new species, and all 1,000 are 12 characters or fewer, the nickname limit in the current games and in Pokemon GO.

The largest share plays on the trick itself: illusion and stage-magic words (Mirage, Sleight, Smokescreen), disguises and doubles (Masque, Alias, Decoy, Understudy), pranks and tall tales (Ruse, Hoax, Balderdash) and lines a disguised fox might say, such as Not A Fox or Trust Me. Around them sit night and shadow names for the Dark type, names from the red and black mane and teal eyes (Redmane, Teal Bead), and a smaller set of fox folklore, from Kitsune and Inari to Reynard. Both names echo zorro, the Spanish word for fox.

Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark are Normal and Ghost types with white fur tipped in red, so they get their own ghost, snow and grudge names (Snowghost, Whiteout, Old Grudge). There are soft names for a baby Zorua, purple and blue picks for the shinies, Zor puns, and a small share of official terms such as Night Daze and Nasty Plot.

How to choose Zoroark names

  • Most Zoroark start out as a Zorua, and the nickname carries over when it evolves. Lil Fib and Tiny Trick are sweet on the pup and a good joke on the final form; Mastermind and Nightfall work the other way round.
  • While Illusion holds, the opponent sees the borrowed Pokemon's name, so yours shows up only when the disguise breaks. Reveal names such as Gotcha, Surprise and Plot Twist land at exactly that moment.
  • Stay inside 12 characters. Kaleidoscope and Doppelganger use all 12, but short names such as Ruse, Hoax or Fib are the easiest to read in battle text.
  • Match the form: Snowghost, Pale Mane or Cold Grudge for a Hisuian Zoroark, Purple Mane or Violet Ruse for a shiny Zoroark, Blue Tuft or Blue Socks for a shiny Zorua.
  • For a themed team, carry one style across the party: all stage magic (Presto, Abracadabra, Top Hat), all spies (Mole, Sleeper, Double Agent) or all tall tales (Hokum, Malarkey, Poppycock).

Frequently asked questions

What is a good nickname for a Zoroark?

Illusion names are the natural place to start: Mirage, Masque, Decoy and Smokescreen are all in the list. For a darker feel, try Nightfall, Umbra or Shadowmane, and for a joke, Not Zoroark, Faux Fox or Stunt Double.

What should I name a Hisuian Zorua or Zoroark?

The Hisuian forms are Normal and Ghost types with white fur and red tips, and in the games' lore they are spirits reborn through lingering spite. Ghost and snow names fit: Snowghost, Snow Wraith, Whiteout, Old Grudge, Spite or Bittersweet. Peppermint and Candy Cane are there for the red-on-white look.

What should I name a shiny Zorua or Zoroark?

Shiny Zorua swaps its red markings for blue, and shiny Zoroark has a purple mane instead of a red one. Blue Tuft, Blue Socks and Bluetip suit the pup, while Purple Mane, Amethyst, Wisteria and Ultraviolet suit the evolved form. Palette Swap and Not Red work on either.

Are these official Pokemon names?

No. They are nicknames for players to give their own Zorua or Zoroark, and the list is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo, Game Freak or The Pokemon Company. A small share are official terms used as nicknames, such as Zorua, Zoroark, Unova, Hisui and moves like Night Daze, Foul Play and Fake Tears. The rest is ordinary words, folklore names and wordplay on the line's themes.
