- Choice Scarf Hisuian Zoroark is a very fast cleaner and revenge killer that is able to outspeed most pokemon in RU, including other Choice Scarf users such as Terrakion and Jirachi and boosted threats such as Dragon Dance Salamence and Jolly Shell Smash Cloyster.
- Normal/Ghost is a great offensive typing, only being resisted by Bisharp and opposing Hisuian Zoroark being completely immune to its stab combo. This allows Hisuian Zoroark to customise its moveset as it pleases very easily.
- Normal/Ghost is also a great defensive typing, being immune to ghost, fighting and normal. This gives Hisuian Zoroark plenty of switch in opportunities.
- U-turn can help Hisuian Zoroark pivot to a teammate to keep up momentum, and with its 100 base attack, it is going to be doing solid chip damage. Flamethrower is an option that hits Bisharp for super effective damage and can melt steel types such as Registeel that may be able to stomach a few of its attacks.
- Trick can cripple both setup sweepers such as Nasty Plot Thundurus and Swords Dance Mimikyu that it might not be able to OHKO, and also walls such as Hisuian Goodra and Umbreon thaxt it may not be able to do that much damage to.
- Tera ghost increases Shadow Ball's damage in order for Hisuian Zoroark to clean up teams much easier.
- Hisuian Zoroark can fit on a wide variety of team structures, from offense to balance.
- Hisuian Zoroark appreciates strong breakers such as Choice Specs Hisuian Goodra and Choice Band Okidogi which can soften up the opposing walls of a team for it to clean up late game.
- Hisuian Zoroark loves appreciates hazard control from the likes of Cyclizar and Talonflame, as this can also help to continue disguising Hisuian Zoroark, as differences in entry hazard damage can sometimes be used to determine whether its a Hisusian Zoroark or not.
