Confirmed Moves

The trailer shows a Hisuian Zorua and a wild Hisuian Zoroark attacking with different, unconfirmed moves. The animation of Zoroark's attack makes it look like Snarl or Dark Pulse. It's notable that its attack knocks the trainer off balance as well.

Pokemon Data

Alongside the trailer release, the official Pokemon Legends Arceus website released info on Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark.

Hisuian Zorua

Spiteful Fox Pokemon

These Zorua migrated to the Hisui region after being driven from other lands by humans, who shunned the Pokémon for manifesting uncanny illusions. But the Zorua perished, unable to survive the harsh Hisuian environment and strife with other Pokémon. Their lingering souls were reborn in this Ghost-type form through the power of their malice toward humans and Pokémon.

Baneful Fox Pokemon

The spiteful power emitted from Hisuian Zoroark’s long, writhing fur projects terrifying illusions—and it can also inflict physical harm upon foes, damaging their bodies from both inside and out. And the illusions that Baneful Fox Pokémon projects have expressions of such utter malice toward every last thing upon this world that those who see them are said to be driven mad by the terror.

Weather Effects

The trailer showed the player battling Zorua during a hailstorm, which could mean that weather effects are part of the game. It was also shown that Akari and Rei's clothes were covered in snow as seen in the image above.

With the new battle system introduced, the potential effects of weather in battle is yet to be seen. After all, the trainer itself is part of the battle with Frenzied Noble Pokemon being introduced.
