In Pokemon GO, monsters can be obtained through methods such as wild spawns, Raid encounters, or Field Research Task / Collection Challenge reward encounters. The specific Pokemon that are available at any given time are usually linked to whatever new Season, themed event, or celebration is going on in the game.
Halloween 2025 Part 1 has returned as of October 2025, bringing a variety of Ghost and Dark Type Pokemon to the table. Two of these Pokemon are fan-favorite Zorua and its Regional Variant, Hisuian Zorua. If you’re wondering how you can get both of these monsters in Pokemon GO, all of the information you’ll need to do so has been included in the guide below.

How to Get Zorua & Hisuian Zorua in Pokemon GO
In Pokemon GO, Zorua can generally be found as a wild spawn, and has appeared as both a 1-Star Raid Boss and as a Field Research Task reward. Hisuian Zorua, on the other hand, has generally only appeared as a wild spawn in the past.
The best chance to find these Pokemon are through limited-time events and celebrations that they are featured in. The most recent case of this is the Halloween 2025 Part 1 event, in which both Zorua and Hisuian Zorua will once again feature as wild spawns and Field Research Task rewards.
How to Evolve Zorua into Zoroark in Pokemon GO
In Pokemon GO, Zorua can evolve into Zoroark by accumulating 50 Zorua Candy, then hitting the evolution button in your Pokemon’s profile.
| Pokemon | Evolution Method | Evolved Pokemon |
|---|---|---|
Zorua | 50 Zorua Candy | Zoroark |
How to Evolve Hisuian Zorua into Hisuian Zoroark in Pokemon GO
The same method for evolving Zorua also applies to the Hisuian variant – Hisuian Zorua can evolve into Hisuian Zoroark by accumulating 50 Zorua Candy, and confirming the evolution in Hisuian Zorua’s profile.
| Pokemon | Evolution Method | Evolved Pokemon |
|---|---|---|
Hisuain Zorua | 50 Zorua Candy | Hisuian Zoroark |
Can You Get Shiny Zorua & Shiny Hisuian Zorua in Pokemon GO?
In Pokemon GO, shiny Zorua has been released in the game, so it is possible to obtain one from any viable encounter method. Additionally, if players choose to do so, they can then evolve their shiny Zorua into a shiny Zoroark with the standard evolution requirements.
Unfortunately, when it comes to Hisuian Zorua, this Pokemon isn’t so lucky. Shiny Hisuian Zorua is not currently available in Pokemon GO. However, as these shiny variants are often added further down the line from the Pokemon debut, there is a high probability that shiny Hisuian Zorua will be added to the game eventually.
When shiny Hisuian Zorua is finally added, it will most likely be seen through a themed in-game event or celebration – much like how the Halloween 2025 Part 1 event marked the arrival of shiny Sinistea and shiny Polteageist.
