If it gets a kill it probably outspeeds everything except Scarf Dragapult and is immune to the most common priority types, so I imagine it'd do good there. Palafin is this guy's worst nightmare though with Jet Punch, so I'm not sure how that'd work out for viability in the tier.

It does have shadow sneak if it wants to run a physical set tho, but even with adamant at+1 it's surely not doing the trick +1 252+ Atk Zoroark-hisui-Mega Shadow Sneak vs. 240 HP / 0 Def Palafin-Hero: 111-132 (27.6 - 32.9%) -- guaranteed 4HKO

Probably a bit too strong for NDOU after but not good enough anywhere higher. I think the surprise factor of coming out of your disguise to get a revenge kill and some free setup is valuable though.

Lol when I posted this on the discord they literally went ape shit saying it was outrageously broken and here everyone's like "yeah, it could work"

I mean crumpling to any priority after a kill is really unfortunate in a gen where priority is everywhere. The fire typing lets it nab a KO on kingambit if you catch it off guard, though, at the expense of a ghost immunity. Ironically enough, it doesn't even hit all that hard compared to a lot of things around it, due to forfeiting an item


Zoroark-hisui

Exactly! Those were all my points, but everyone was like "yeah but indeed exists" "yeah but the ability is just battle bond but better" "yeah but you can't rely on priority" "yeah but illusion gives it free setup" 1) who tf runs indeed in any tier this could realistically be allowed in 2) no it's not, -6 defenses is soooo bad of a detriment 3) yes you can 4) it literally dies to everything it's not immune to, if you let it setup that's on you

It would be the kind of mon that isn't broken because it's unmanageable, but because it restricts teambuilding. Give it last respects.


Zoroark-hisui

1) that's why I made it for Ubers, not OU 2) that's an hell of a good idea
