Is Zorua good in Pokemon GO?

Collector's pick

Power up	Stardust	Candy	XL Candy
Lv 20 → 40	135,000	15	—

Zorua has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.

Attack is its highest stat (153), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
Its moves get a damage boost in Fog weather — worth timing raids around.
