We recommend something like Snorlax, Wailmer, or Gourgeist, but you can use whatever you&#8217;re good at landing excellents on.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, if you&#8217;re sick of the Zorua &#8220;Oh?&#8221; animation, you can skip this by setting a Zorua as your buddy, allowing you to make faster catches. Quick catching will also bypass this animation.<\/p>\n<p>Scopely Explore is also continuing the &#8220;Lure Module Bonus&#8221; it&#8217;s been running for the last year. From 2-9 p.m., Zorua will spawn in high numbers from placed Lure Modules. Even after the Community Day ends at 5 p.m., you can still find a shiny Zorua (or one with a Special Background) from lures with the increased Community Day shiny rate.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/pokemon-go-zorua-community-day-event-shiny-zoroark-moveset\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pok\u00e9mon Go is having a Zorua Community Day event on Saturday, Oct. 10 from 2-5 p.m. in your local time.
