    sorry for the random title is sounded funny to me XD

    anyway have you gone to send out zorua or zoroark and forgotten their ability and thought you sent out the wrong pokemon?

    this happens to me quite a bit especially when im not thinking or am tired.

    One time when I had Zoroark in my team, I also had a Rufflet, and I was like, wait, Rufflet suddenly turned dark type? XD; I tend to ignore the game sometimes, so I just forget about Zoroark and it catches me off guard. Luckily I don't use Zoroark often though :3

    A Dark Rufflet would have been totally awesome though. XP

    I've just beaten a Gym Leader or something, then I want to train my Zoroark, so I put it in front, then I find some event or something to do, and then I'm like, Oh yeah, Time to train!
    Then I send out Victini and I'm like wtf?
    And I check my party, and then Victini's in the back.
    Oh yeah.

    Well, this just happened to me today. I randomly decided to train one of the MANY Zorua I had been hatching (for use on GTS negotiation). The Zorua I had decided to train was Female, but the game displayed it as a male. Took me a little while to figure out that I had a male Zorua in the back of my party and Illusion had taken effect X_X

    I recognize when I send out Zorua/Zoroark. I mean, just from the moveset, I can already figure it out.

    Just had another Zorua/Zoroark moment. XD;

    Okay so I was hatching Zoruas and I had one in my party that hatched earlier. It was just after I caught a Cryogonal, when Thundurus appeared in the area just after Icirrus. At that point Litwick died thanks to a Stunfisk who looked like it laughed at it--anyway! I got really confused because I thought Thundurus made Cryogonal drop like 30 levels, but then I remembered I'd battled it before, so then my next thought was that my game was glitched. Until I finally realised it was Zorua, omg. I need to avoid putting Zorua's family in my team. XD

    This happens most of the time, especially when Zoroark and Scrafty were unevolved and shared 2 moves.

    When I first got my Zoroark, I sent it out in a Rotation Battle and it came out as my Ducklett. I was like 'WUUUT? How'd you grow to Lv.43, Ducklett?!' Then I checked out Zoroark's summary, saw it's ability and understood.

    I'm not really fond of Zoroa's/Zoroark's ability..

    This is a little bit off topic, but what if your Zoroark is shiny... does its illusion appear shiny as well? Anyone know?

    As for the topic, I've never confused my Zoroark for any of my other Pokemon lol.

    It was such a "WTF?!" moment for me when I first used my Zorua, because I hadn't read up on the ability, so I didn't have a clue what was going on :L

    No. The only issue I've had with Illusion is when I go to attack, I use Foul Play (which is in the right-hand corner), and then the Pokemon hits me. This makes the illusion fade away, and then, rather than staying on "Foul Play", it resets and I have to move the cursor to the right again in order to use the attack.

    Due to this, sometimes I find myself wasting a turn using Attract (which is in the top left corner and the first / default attack of the four) on a male Pokemon.

    Stupid reset. It's the same Pokemon, so I don't know why it's not staying on the last move you use. It doesn't do that in any other case, except Zorua/Zoroark when it loses its Illusion.

    It caught me off guard when I battled N. I thought I was going to one hit his klinklang with a fire move, but turns out it wasn't a steel type pokemon after all lol
