Ah, Zoro
This mon is probably one of the biggest offensive threats currently in the metagame. With versatile sets of swords dance, pursuit trapper, specs, or all out mixed, you've got yourself a potent attacker. But the factor that makes it stand out the most, of course, is Illusion. Running a set that beats your team's weaknesses gives it the ability to lure in counters such has Slowking, Jellicent, and Rhyperior (grass knot) and remove it from the game. Another example is running it with sd Cobalion to get rid Gligar with an hp ice or Slowkings with pursuit/ knock off. It always makes the opponent second guess on whether its Zoroark or the real thing. Most ways to tell are from hazards damage and acknowledging the amount of hp the opponent has. Since many zoro are life orbed, its easy to take into account the recoil damage. Aromatisse, Gurdurr,and Drapion are one of the more safer switch ins, while Emboar can take up to half after rocks and a knock off. Not saying it should or shouldn't be suspected, but it definitely is something to take seriously.
