Several unconfirmed myths about the new starters (from HK)

[☆TobyTse99☆]

Unconfirmed

Zoroark can use the new move called "イリュージョン" (Illusion) to transform to the same as the opponent

New move "イカサマ" (Cheat(not sure)) use the move of the opponent to attack.

New move "つめとぎ" (Sharpening Claws) raises attack and accuracy by one level each.

Way to obtain Zoroark:
Use the shiny Raikou, Entei, Suicune to activate a event in the new games and three transformed Zoroark will appear and available to catch.

Note that these are from a Chinese forum where people don't care much about the source, so don't keep your hope up.

Finally, the fully evolved form of the fire starter (ポカブ Pokabu) (and absolutely fake)

I'm not sure we really need a thread on the myths, nor do I think that that is the way to get Zoroark. That cuts a lot of people out of getting him.

And aside from that the pre-release pictures on serebii makes me think Zorua is catchable as an ordinary wild pokémon. However, I would like a horribly convuluted (sp?) way of getting it, like with spiritomb, the odd keystone & the underground

Also, the first two attacks proposed [cheat & illusion] just sound like me first & transform but w/e.

Zoroak? Probably only obtainable from a Zorua egg or something...

This was leaked along with the starter names, species, and the region, so apparently it's legit.

Use the shiny Raikou, Entei, Suicune to activate a event in the new games and three transformed Zoroark will appear and available to catch.

Actually, it just recreates Movie 13 - you fight a Zoroark that transforms between them, allowing you to catch it.

* The Grass Starter, Tsutaja (ツタージャ) is the Grass Snake Pokémon
* The Fire Starter, Pokabu (ポカブ)is the Fire Pig Pokémon
* The Water Starter, Mijumaru (ミジュマル) is the Sea Otter Pokémon
* Zoroark has an ability called Illusion (イリュージョン) which will allow it to transform into various Pokémon. How it differs from the move Transform remains to be seen.
* Two new attacks have been announced;
o A move called Trickery (イカサマ) seems to allow the attack to be calculated using the opponent's stats
o Another move called Claw Sharpen (つめとぎ) raises the user's Attack and Accuracy stats
* The special event activated by the special Raikou, Entei & Suicune given with the upcoming movie; Phantom Champion Zoroark has been detailled. In this event, when you bring the beasts (it is unclear if it's all three or just one)to the game, a special battle will occur. This battle is against a Level 25 Zoroark which will transform into the various Pokémon. At many points, it will break its transformation to allow you to capture it.

I was right about Zoroark's ability being a passive version of Transform.

Woah, that Pokemon scares me O_O

So, you're saying we need to have a shiny legend in order to catch Zoroark?

Wouldn't that just be transform with a fancy name? Also I thought only japan was getting the shiny beasts...I was thinking you get a Zorua egg like riolu or it's just a wild pokemon.

Nah, I'm guessing this will be a special event Zoroark. I'm sure there will be another in-game method as well.

Yeah like it will have a special move. Has there ever been an event only pokemon that isnt a legendary?

Someone said this was actually a Digimon (or something along those lines).

This. Otherwise, It'd be pointless to create Zorua as a pre-vo for Zoroark. You'll probably be able to obtain a normal Zoroark some other way in BW as well as this event one.

But this whole thing makes me want a Zoroark even more! XD
