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.
 
Boy I can't wait to build a Gen 9 cube and house-rule it so this can evolve off of N's Zorua. Now we're talking.

I guess 240 for 1 into a full-bench Tera deck with Area Zero online isn't nothing, and you can Reversal or Ignition up to Foul Play. Might be something there, but it's going to take a fair bit of tinkering.
