I play this team a lot because I'm a certified fan of *Is It Zoroark?*, and my main illusion is Primarina but I've also gone with Dragonite and Basculegion in the past for different reasons.
* Primarina is a slow mon that deals big damage when ignored, forcing you to respect it in the rain with Mystic Water Hyper Voice. Zoroark switches this up with the speed it offers, allowing it to deal damage faster than expected and maybe even pair with the partner to get an unexpected KO due to the speed difference.
* Dragonite is a similar idea, but baiting Fake Out even harder due to the mega potential. Eating a mega Dragonite Hurricane in the rain is something you don't want to happen. Not to mention you have to be prepared for up to ***SIX*** different unique types of damage from that slot depending on whether it is or is not Zoroark.
* Basculegion is the least common and least likely, but baits ghost type attacks that H Zoro is immune to, plus stops fake out, meaning you'll typically always get the chance to do SOMETHING before Zoroark goes down if you're smart about when you bait Zoroark as Basculegion.
