Breeding Hisuian Zoroark in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Some Trainers may wish to breed this Normal/Ghost-type in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. However, it is essential to remind players that regional forms of creatures have a unique mechanic regarding how one can get their eggs.

If the regional parent Pokemon comes from outside Paldea, then the Trainer must give it an Everstone if they want the offspring to come from the same area. Here is a basic example of what would happen if you bred Hisuian Zoroark with Ditto:

• With an Everstone: Hisuian Zorua
• Without an Everstone: Unovan Zorua

Trainers can feel free to trade their newly hatched Hisuian Zoruas with their friends or strangers. Alternatively, some people can Shiny Hunt this Normal/Ghost-type with this method.
