Zoroark, Zorua from White Flare!

That’s an interesting print for Zoroark, Mind Jack is taken from Zoroark BKT but the way damage is calculated (the original did 10 damage with an additional 30 damage added per Benched Pokémon your opponent has) and costs one Dark Energy rather than two Colorless whilst Foul Play has the same effect as the BLW print did but costs three Colorless. Oh, and Zoroark BKT’s Stand In Ability is absent here.

Zorua is kind of meh.
Yeah, I like the way they put two relevant attacks on Zoroark, slightly nerfing one of them to compensate for added flexibility while at the same time letting it mix with the new Boost/Triple Acceleration Energy successor. The cool part is how Mind Jack will hit 240 damage into a full Underdepths bench and Knock Out most basic ex’s, so it doesn’t even need to rely on copying attacks in some matchups.
I hope to see this card crop up somewhere. If only we had a Ditto Prism Star successor to make stage 1 techs more viable.
 
It's just a worse Metronome tho (Clefable TWM #079)
The buff it has as opposed to Clefable, however, is that its other attack is actually pretty good. Clefable's Magical Shot is frankly worthless; Mind Jack can hit for up to 150 damage for a single Energy (and even more against a Tera deck playing Area Zero Underdepths.)
 
This could make for an interesting 1-1 line in N boxes since its still able to use reversal energies and the decks natural energy type being dark. zorua is at the perfect 70hp line, and since decks have already started moving towards Jacqs and brocks training, the deck already has ways to seek it out. Def has potential.

Yeah, still sad about them making trainer's pokemon evolve from trainer's pokemon only. would be so good as 4 zorua/3N's zoroark/1 zoroark bw
 
That Zoroark art is sick tbh. I feel people nowadays only care about art rares
They do. They literally don't care about the normal cards anymore, even though a lot of them have really beautiful artworks themselves. The card game has gotten worse with it being all about money and expensive cards that really should not even be that expensive. I agree with you that that Zoroark card looks so cool.

I mean, it makes sense. N's zoroark isnt just any random zoroark. it is referencing one very specific pokemon.

I get it, but for competitive's sake they could say the zoroark is n's and it evolves from any zorua
