    Just got mine a few minutes ago. Not only does it have sludge bomb, but it also has Flamethrower, Dark Pluse, and Sucker punch. Sludge Bomb is a Really good move to cover it's fairy weakness.
     
    I think the reason why it has Sludge Bomb is because it lacks counters against Fairy types, but that would require sacrificing your counter against Fighting types, since Extrasensory is an egg move, whereas Sludge Bomb isn't.
     
    As Pinkie said, Zoroark is usually defenseless against Fairy-types so giving it a move that can counter them does at least give something special to this event. Sure it loses out on Extrasensory (an egg move) but it's still good.
     
    I'll be grab soon after work and the Sludge Bomb provide fairy-type coverage, but may not help much against mawile, klefki and even carbink but would hurt a lot to Cottonee and Whimsy

    Edit; Just got it today and a ok nature, now I just want to replace Sucker Punch for Nasty Plot (I got spare Heart Scale) or Calm Mind (Offense and Defense combine and I know how low it's special defense is.

    So Sludge Bomb Zoroark is now a thing, which is pretty neat. I wonder what kind of effect this will have on the metagame, now that Zoroark can pull off disguising as a Poison type? Either way, it's nice to get a surprise event like this.
     
    If you just change your location in the settings, you can cheat your way to get it.
    Like how I'm from Indonesia can claim events from US
     
    Changing the location isn't cheating.

    What an excellent idea. Disguise it as a Poison type, use Sludge Bomb, get hit by a Psychic type and denied! lmao.
     
    I got Zoroark from Mystery Gift, but never got around to picking it up. At least I'm glad that Zoroark actually has a reliable way of hitting Fairy Pokemon now.
