Draws cards, then borrows attacks from its own Bench.

What this card does

N's Zoroark ex is a Stage 1, so it sets up quickly from N's Zorua. It is the centrepiece of its own deck, and it does two jobs that decks usually need two separate cards for.

It keeps the player's hand full and it attacks using whatever it needs in the moment. That flexibility is what makes it one of the most consistent decks in the format.

Signature ability

Trade

You must discard a card from your hand in order to use this Ability. Once during your turn, you may draw 2 cards.

Once a turn, the player discards a card from their hand and draws two. It is a steady, reliable way to dig through the deck and find the right card, and having two or three Zoroark in play means digging through a lot of it.

Attacks

Night Joker

Choose 1 of your Benched N's Pokémon's attacks and use it as this attack.

Which deck it belongs in

It anchors the N's Zoroark ex deck, where its Night Joker attack copies an attack from a Benched N's Pokémon, so one Zoroark can play many roles.

Strengths
  • Refills your hand every turn
  • Sets up fast as a Stage 1
  • Borrows the right attack for any situation
  • High 280 HP for a Stage 1
Watch out for
  • Weak to Grass attackers, which hit it for double
  • Discards a card each time it draws, so it burns through the deck
  • Relies on having the right N's Pokémon on the Bench to copy

Pairs well with

🃏
Other N's Pokémon

Night Joker copies their attacks, so the Bench becomes a toolbox of options.

Pro tip

Bench the N's Pokémon whose attack you might need before you have to use it. Night Joker can only copy what is already in play.

Top players who use this deck

A reliable performer that has won multiple regionals on the 2026 circuit and is a regular in the Top 16. We have not yet recorded a major Oceania result with it.

From the Pokédex

Zoroark is the Illusion Fox, famous for disguising itself as other Pokémon. Night Joker copying a Benched attack is that very trick in card form.

Note for the parent

A Double Rare with several printings, so prices are fair. The deck leans on other N's Pokémon, so it is bought as a themed set rather than one card.
