Hisuian Zorua Feebas

The best card to pull is the highlight card Hisuian Zorua. It can be used for Hisuian Zoroark ex decks, and has a full illustration. This makes it good for people who like building a variety of decks, as well as collectors.

It may also be good to try to get Feebas. It plays differently from other Feebas cards, so it may be good if you want to test out different ways to play. It can be used for a Milotic ex deck.

Hisuian Zorua Drop Event Strategy Guide

Hisuian Zorua Drop Event Deck List

Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Expert

In Event Solo Battles, you can battle against different decks that scale on difficulty. Once you have defeated a deck, the next deck will be unlocked containing harder cards than the last.

There are only 4 levels of Solo Battle: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert—with Expert giving you a guaranteed card pack pull from the event.

KO Hisuian Zorua Early

Taking out the opponent's other Pokemon first will boost Hisuian Zoroark ex's attacking power. It is best to defeat it early, preferably before it evolves.

If the opponent's Hisuian Zoroark ex or Hisuian Zorua is Benched, try to move it to the Active Spot with a Trainer Card.

Bring Cards That Heal Status Effects

The Expert Battle's Milotic ex can inflict the Sleep Status Effect. This can be difficult to deal with, as it leaves your Active Pokemon unable to attack or retreat.

It is best to have a few healing items on hand to heal Sleep in case you get unlucky with your coin flips.

Use Fast Attackers

You may use Pokemon with low Attack Costs in order to attack and land KOs right away. Mega Lopunny ex can be used to take advantage of Mega Zoroark ex's Weakness. Alternatively, you may use Lightning-type Pokemon to quickly KO Milotic ex if you need to.
