Hisuian ZoruaLost Origin #75 Pokémon Card

Hisuian Zorua is a unique regional variant of the popular Pokémon Zorua, introduced in the Hisui region, which is the ancient form of Sinnoh, in the game *Pokémon Legends: Arceus*. Unlike its Unovan counterpart, Hisuian Zorua is a Normal/Ghost type, a fascinating combination that reflects its tragic backstory. These Pokémon are believed to be the spirits of Zorua that perished after migrating to the Hisui region and, unable to endure the harsh climate and human hostility, were reborn as Ghost-types, fueled by resentment. They typically inhabit colder, snowy areas, often found in caves or secluded icy landscapes. Their diet consists of the lingering malice and fear of living beings, which they can absorb and manifest as spiritual energy. Hisuian Zorua is known for its playful yet mischievous behavior, often using illusions to scare travelers, though this is often a defense mechanism rather than outright aggression. It evolves into Hisuian Zoroark. In the games, its unique typing gives it immunity to Ghost and Fighting-type moves, while being weak to Dark-type attacks. Its role in *Pokémon Legends: Arceus* is central to understanding the lore of the Hisui region and the origins of many Pokémon species, providing a fresh perspective on familiar creatures.
