Global PokédeX Plus Forums _ Pokémon Debates _ Lucario vs. Zoroark

Posted by: scarletshinigami May 4 2011, 11:23 PM

So, guys, which Pokemon do you think is the best?
In my opinion, Lucario's better since it takes over Zoroark's HP, Attack, Defense, and Special Defense. That's basically what I think.

Zoroark has access to Nasty Plot as well as Focus Blast in addition to its already huge base special attack. If it hits after being Plot-boosted, Lucario is dead. Plus, Zoroark outspeeds Lucario and its ability can fool it into using a non-super-effective attack, which has the chance to give you a turn to boost before your illusion is inevitably broken.
But yeah, Lucario can kill it with Close Combat if Focus Blast doesn't destroy it first, so I'd say it's pretty even if you look at it just right.

Lucario. All the way. He's my first Level 100, and rocks the Pokemon world!

Posted by: okpo May 10 2011, 01:36 PM

I prefer Zoroark

Zoroak looks better, in my humble opinion... I like Dark-type and -looking Pokemon.

Posted by: Le Dernier Absoul Jul 4 2011, 07:02 PM

I prefer Zoroark because of it's awesome Speed stat (meaning it can hit first), huge Special Attack stat (meaning it can hit hard), and it's ability, Illusion. It also has an amazing movepool.

I love Lucario, don't get me wrong. I just prefer Zoroark.

In my opinion, Zoroark. From the moment I saw Lucario, I knew I was going to hate him. I've never owned a Lucario, or Riolu, and I'm not sad about not having it in my Dex. Zoroark, on the other hand, rocks my whole party. It's level 63 (along with my Krookodile) and honestly, it's got to be my fastest, strongest Pokemon I've ever owned. Never before have I trained a canid Pokemon to such a high level, and I'm glad I did, because now I love it and can't take it off my team. XD She destroyed half the Elite Four for me, she's my Exp. Share slave, and downright owns in battles against other people (when they aren't level 100...).

And to me, Zoroark looks much, much better- like a joker almost, with the red marks on its face and illusion ability! And I loovee jokers. x3 Lucario never appealed to me, and even in Smash Brothers I avoided using it (not like the other three I go against ever play anyone but Lucario...)

Zoroark =3

Posted by: Khall Jul 18 2011, 08:39 PM

once i saw zorua and zoroark, i knew i was going to hate them.
i hate lucario too, so i don't know.

i guess overall, zoroark...

Posted by: Red Canidae Jul 22 2011, 08:59 AM

I love them both equally... But Lucario came first for me, and I like blue over red, so I guess Lucario. <3

It's like picking between my children xD

Posted by: Jewelwriter Jul 30 2011, 12:02 AM

I'd go with Lucario. I mean the mon got better stats and could take a blow unlike Zoroark, though I do like them both.

Posted by: TheFuturePokemon Jul 30 2011, 04:13 AM

Lucario

Posted by: Zapi Aug 2 2011, 06:48 PM

I don't particularly like either one, but I'm going to have to say Zoroark, 'cause Illusion is a fun ability.

Posted by: Wishful Jirachi Aug 2 2011, 07:23 PM

Zoroark has better stats but I'd say that I personally like Lucario better.

Posted by: Jewely Aug 16 2011, 06:19 PM

I dislike both of them. I don't hate them. They're both overrated for their dog/wolf appearence. So a little dislike. I voted Lucario because he was awesome in the Pokemon movie. I've seen a little of the Zoruark/Zorua movie. Lucario was also one of my best Pokemon on my Diamond team. I actually turned really stupid and traded it for a Torterra, and then recieved another female Lucario later on in a different trade.

Stat-wise, Zorark dominates, but Lucario has better typing. When it comes to looks, they tie.

Posted by: The Frozen Dictator Aug 26 2011, 08:27 PM

Zoroark.
It looks better and fights better. (Well, for me.)

Posted by: Kashmir Oct 14 2011, 11:21 AM

In my opinion Lucario.

Posted by: Lugia182 Nov 8 2011, 09:46 AM

I voted Lucario. I hate Zoroark, so overrated - it looks rubbish imo. I quite like Zorua, though.

Posted by: BarkingChaos Nov 15 2011, 09:06 PM

Lucario. At least it looks like a pokemon. Zoroark looks like a reject from sonic

Posted by: Dark Heart Nov 15 2011, 09:36 PM

Bigger Lucario fan than a Zorua fan.

P.S. Barking Chaos, love the Sonic comparison.

Posted by: alexandredias1234 Jan 27 2012, 04:14 PM

Zoroark, of course.
Lucario makes me sick.

But I LOVE riolu

Posted by: Dragonwish2 Feb 11 2012, 07:12 PM

Zoroark may have Illusion, but Lucario can see through it with its aura powers. Lucario has more moves to choose from in my opinion, and with the type advantage as well, can generally overpower Zoroark in a fight, but it'd be decently close. I like both of them and their appearances, though Zoroak's joker face creeps me out at times if I stare too long.

Posted by: nerea2661996 Apr 4 2012, 01:26 PM

I prefer lucario, is a nice pokemon, and i love Rioulu

Posted by: Ffion the Bayntonette Apr 4 2012, 01:41 PM

Lucario coz it's my best friends fav (or one of them)
I dont like the colour of Zoroark

Posted by: Velocity Apr 16 2012, 12:17 AM

Lucario.

Ever since I watch Lucario and the mystery of Mew it has been in my top ten favorites.

Posted by: Villain Apr 25 2012, 01:37 PM

I prefer Lucario for it's double type (plus I love steel types). This really gives it an advantage, and I'm not talking about fighting Zoroark here, but in general, Steel adds a lot of resistances and dual types get two STAB types.

Zoroark is hugely useful against the Psychic Elite 4.

Anyway. I'd prefer Lucario. Though in a fight of those two, Lucario really needs to strike first with Close Combat (or Aura Sphere), in general combat, Lucario just wins for me because it is more flexible.

Posted by: Shiny T Jun 14 2012, 06:27 AM

Is it now i am supposed to be a hipster and say that i don't like any of them?

Posted by: Sukau Jul 25 2012, 10:46 AM

I like Lucario better, Zoroark looks like a clown.
Zorua is very cute though, I think it's evolution doesn't look better.

Posted by: Jaze Aug 5 2012, 02:59 PM

zoroark seems to appeal more to me, but i'm not a huge fan of either pokemon.

i do prefer riolu over zorua, though.

Posted by: Dragonlove707 Aug 5 2012, 07:25 PM

I've never had a zoarark, so I can't have anything against them^^But as of now I would prefer Lucario, due to having worked more with one^^.

Posted by: Skyrider Aug 15 2012, 01:11 PM

I'm not keen on either of them. I mean, I don't overrate them for their appearance, like most people does.

But if I have to choose one of those, I'd choose Lucario. Talking about their pre-evolutions, I like more Zorua, though.
