How To Catch Zorua In Pokémon GO… For Real This Time

After a botched attempt during this past Tuesday's Shuppet Spotlight Hour, Zorua has finally been released in Pokémon GO. Niantic included this release as a secret aspect of the current Halloween 2022 Event Part Two, creating a special way to encounter Zorua. Let's take a look at how you can find and catch Zorua in Pokémon GO.

To catch Zorua in Pokémon GO, you must look for Pokémon that are disguised as your Buddy. This works even for species that do not usually spawn. My buddy is currently a Shiny Drifloon. While adventuring with Shiny Drifloon, I began to see other Shiny Drifloon pop up on the overworld map. I'd click them and Shiny Drifloon would send out a circle of sparkles just like any Shiny, but once caught, the screen flashes: Oh? Drifloon then proceeded to transform into Zorua, much like a Ditto encounter with an extra quirk.

There is no way to control IVs, as they all roll randomly.

Here is a glimpse at what else is happening during the Halloween 2022 Event Part Two in Pokémon GO:

• Date and time: Thursday, October 27, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. to Tuesday, November 1, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. local time.
• New Costumed Pokémon: Vulpix, Ninetales, Pumpkaboo, and Gourgeist all pictured above. Gengar will also have a new costume. They will all be Shiny-capable.
• Returning Costumed Pokémon: Pikachu with the Halloween Mischief hat, Piplup with the Halloween Mischief hat, Drifloon with the Halloween Mischief hat.
• Wild Spawns: Costumed Pikachu, Costumed Vulpix, Zupat, Haunter, Spinarak, Murkrow, Misdreavus, Sableye (who will unfortunately not be in its Halloween costume), Shuppet, Dusclops, Costumed Piplip, Yamask, Golett, Phantump, Pumpkaboo.

• Ticketed Timed Research: Both a $1 and a $5 Timed Research ticket will be available in the shop. The former features more Yamask encounters, the latter features Candy bonuses, Halloween-themed tasks, and an avatar item. There isn't enough information here to make a call.
