The thing I really like about zoroark is how it has so many opportunities to set up so many cool combos. The thing I don't like about blastoise is that it's just really slow and doeen't do that much damage overall
I like how they incorporated Zoroark’s trademark ability of transforming from the games and the anime into unite. I don’t like that Blastoise feels a little behind other defenders because it could be really cool.
The main thing I like about Zoroark is it really seems to have good combos that actually feel like they will still take skill to pull off. The main thing I dislike about Blastoise is that it's rapid spin is very easy to just run away from and it's surf often gets stuck on the edge of walls
I like how Zoroark will likely reward smart plays, I can see where between it and Sableye all kinds of mind games will be coming to the game which could shake things up a bit. As for Blastoise, I think it doesn't smile enough.
I love that they incorporated Zorark's ability into the game! It'll be a sneaky play for sure, just think of the shenanigans we'll be seeing! As for blasty boi, it sucks how he feels now after all the debuffs, I wish he had healing with rapid spin or something, he needs a little buff to really make him more playable.
I like how they implemented Zoroark’s signature ability disguise into this game! I don’t like how Blastoise can’t use his unite move in the middle of his rapid spin - there should totally be an awesome special effect if the unite move is used in the middle of rapid spin.
"who watches spragels at 3 in the morning?" me: OH BOY 3 AM on the note honestly zoroark looks super fun zipping around hopefully its not too broken meanwhile blastoise still owes me money for that concert ticket I bought him in college what a jerk
My guess is that they want Blastoise to have really powerful moves that can handle 2-3 opposing Pokémon at once but the long cooldowns are justified by its boosted attack effect. It does feel a little underwhelming how much Blastoise has changed I will admit.
I love how these animations look for zororark, it’s gonna be so cool to see these awesome flashy dashes all around a fight. I really wish blastoise’s hydro pump surf build did more since a defender who’s able to push enemy’s away from goal and objectives really well is so cool. It’s a shame mew’s surf is better
I like how they gave zoroark a set of moves that feel similar to moves that already exist within the game, but with a twist. The problem I have with Blastoise is that his rapid spin can now be cancelled by some other abilities, which basically leaves him useless if the gets cc'ed in a fight.
The combo nature of Zoroark is super cool and I really like that it has that health regen on cut! His passive is also going to be so much fun! If only Blastoise had a cool identity like that, his combo stuff is fine but he feels mid compared to the other defenders and I wish he had a cooler passive like some of the newer pokemon.
I'm honestly oddly hyped about Cut. I always have issues with fragility when running speedster roles, so a regen move with low cooldown sounds perfect. I feel like Blastoise _should_ be built out to just sit and tank while scoring, (a la Crustle), but the application of that is a bit too situational, requiring a unite move usage. Idk, I'm probably wrong anyways, but that's just my 2 cents.
I like that Zoroark has some outplay potential both with its illusion and with all of its dash attacks. Blastoise just feels forgotten and needs a lot to make it work within a team, especially in solo que.
I love how Zoroark has both movesets focus on getting good positioning. It's gonna be a super skill based mon. Blastoise just isn't doing a ton at the moment. Neither of his movesets really hinder the enemy team enough to justify his lack of damage in this bursty of a meta.
I like the illusion being a totally new concept for Zoroark in Unite! Cant wait to see how it is going to fully work out in the game myself! I dont like the long cooldown of Blastoise, and the fact that its basically 'useless' after it uses its move to create cc.
Honestly think Zoroark’s connections with N in Black and White has to be the coolest thing about it. And the only real downside to blastoise I guess would be that in the games it doesn’t actually shoot water from its canons
I love the outplay potential that Zoroark is going to bring to the table with all of his dashing moves. It's really going to let the good players style on other people. I don't like that Blastoise is advertised as a Defender but he doesn't really defend as well as the other pokemon labeled as defender
I thought the same way about Blastoise at first but it a good pokemon to rush in and push with its surf/pump set. If you focus less on its damage output and boost its hp and longevity it's rapid spin set is an absolute unit of a damage tank
I love Zoroarks design! And we have another Gen 5 representation in unite!! Blastoise to me is too slow I know that we can use a float stone and it’s a defender so it isn’t supposed to be fast but it sure does feel like it takes hours to get across the map
The thing i love about zoroak is that feint attack combo it's got a lot of outplay potential , and blastoise just doesn't feel good rn u can go for the dmg build that's viable bt then he is no longer a tanky defender i think they shud do some health changes to his tanky moves he feels behind the other defenders
I love the dashing nature of Zorark, but I do worry about the matchup against gravity clefable, Blastoise has got to have the most disappointing move with water spout, on its own it practically does nothing, it should be reworked to life dew as a more supportive move
I love that the troll potential of Zoroark’s ability. It’s one of my all time favourite mons and getting it as a high burst character actually made me jump in joy… I don’t really play Blastoise but what I dislike about it the most is how hard it counters everything I love playing… I should probably be fixing that lol
I really like that it seems zoroark’s moves seem complimentary where nightslash looks like the go to move when you’re going into a cc heavy team. You set up the first hit ahead of time. Use the second hit to engage in and dodge the CC with the rising slam. Feint attack looks like the move when they have a lot of squishy targets. Blastoise tho man I don’t like that he’s just mew version 0.75. Surf should just be better than mew’s surf
“No Spragels. That’s not my trick…. It’s my ILLUSION! (Favorite part)” When you accidentally hit water spout and surf- “I’ve made a huge mistake.” Feels like you would be a big arrested development fan so I’m banking on that winning me this Pokémon. Has anyone in this family ever even seen a chicken!?
With only two commonly used moves per pokemon, it is really important that each move has outplay potential to keep gameplay from getting stale. I like that both playstyles of Zoroark have multiple uses for positioning and outplay potential to keep your mind active. it is unfortunate I cannot say the same for Blastoise, who has moves so slow and telegraphed that I find myself doing the same thing over and over again when I am playing him, only outplaying opponents that are very slow to react.
I like how Zoroark is really dashy and highly dependent on your skill, i also like how nighslash cuts through enemies like butter. I dont like how blastoise is bulky (opposite from Zoroark) and blastoise's unite is really awkward(very long frontswing before unite actually deals damage).
Love Zoroark's ability, I feel like it's gonna have some interesting possibilities for trickery and shenanigans! I do wish Blastoise's moves combo'd with each other better though. Like obviously, Surf + Hydro Pump and Rapid Spin + Water Spout are two pretty good combos, but I wish the other two combos could combine to be more functional. Rapid Spin *kinda* combines with Hydro Pump but it doesn't feel good enough to be worth it, and Surf + Water Spout just feels... kinda contrary? You have the move that requires the enemies to stand in an area, and then you have the move that pushes them away from the area. I'd love to see something like Surf becoming more powerful or having more knockback if the wave goes through a Water Spout area
I love Zoroark's playstyles, do some quick dash and slash, potentially tricking the opponent with illusion, and overall eing a cool pokemon in general. Big gen-5er here, loved this pokemon from b/w. Not much of a fan of Blastoise but only because the rapid spin build on it just annoying to deal with if it's your opponent. But I also agree that there are better defenders out there compared to Blastoise :(
I liked how they gave Zoroark a flexible move set so you don’t have to worry about choosing the wrong one. They both seem balanced to me. With blastoise, the nerf that it’s rapid spin got definitely made it harder to play around with and makes it easier to combo in-game.
I think my favorite thing about zoroark has to be the way that rapid spin combos with both of his moves. Personally rapid spin/water spout is my favorite, hope the damage is there! As for blastoise, I kind of feel like the illusion ability won’t be very relevant. 🤷🏻♂️ maybe that’s just me!
I love how dash-ing zoroark is with their looks and moves. I don’t like how Blastoise doesn’t have a skin with it wearing the sunglasses from the squirtle squad.
I really love Zoroark's outplay capabilities and the fact that Zoroark's my favorite pokemon! I would definitely main him! Things I hate about Blastoise: Lacks a lot in many aspects and him being a defender
Honestly the artwork for Zoroark's moves look so clean and great for releasing on Halloween. Obviously sad about the pricing situation that has come out about it... Blastoise on the other hand, I've been LOVING this season! Rapid spout is so deadly and feels like an allrounder in terms of damage. Surf Hydro can be a bit tougher to use. Mid game is also a little tougher and you have to make sure you are leveling adequetally which can be tough.
I like the way the moveset combos are set up for Zoroark, the seem fun once you get the hang of it, the illusion passive is going to be fun since I like to sneak up and score some easy points in the goals. What I don't like about Blastoise is that it's hard sometimes to level up in the beginning and more if your team isn't helping much with the battles, making it difficult to level up and evolve quick enough
Zoroark’s illusion ability is really cool and makes the Pokémon unique. I like all the new things they are doing with new releases like Dodrio’s scoring, Clefable having 6 Unite Moves, and Sableye having fake Aeos energy and being invisible. Something I don’t like about Blastoise is that people always say you have to use Water Spout/Rapid Spin, but I still really like Surf Hydro Pump and it’s just not as fun to play as it was on release.
Hii, as a Gengar main, a liked pretty much the kind of infinite combo that Zoroark has with feint attack, it kinda counters Hex Gengars combo, and others long combos, what i dont like about Blastoise is that compared with other tanks as slowbro o snorlax, feels somewhat weak in terms of endurance, also Water Spout doesn't have that much impact if used without Rapid Spin. Sorry my english im from Colombia XD
Whatever set you choose for Zoroark it’ll be really cool both to see, but also to use inside the game mechanics. On the other side, I don’t feel to find a negative aspect for Blastoise because it was the pokemon that made me reach a higher grade in the game. Maybe the only thing that I can see is that Blastoise is used mostly at lower grades and few players can use it well at pro level
I love how you could potentially play zoroark like the TF2 spy where you trick them and them attack from behind, my biggest gripe with Blastoise is he is my favorite defender but it feels like he just hasn't been given the same attention the others have gotten.
Unite has been giving me so many of my favorites recently with Tyranitar and now Zoroark. I remember begging my mom to take me to GameStop in 2011 when BW came out for the Zoroark event giveaway, now I’m hoping to get it in a Unite giveaway. History repeats itself ❤️
I like that zoroark is another unique addition with an interesting mechanic being added to the game. I don't like that blastoises rapid spin moveset still seems to overshadow it's actually GREAT defensive moves in hydro pump and surf. rapid spin blastoise just doesn't fill the defender role.
The thing I like about zoroark is the illusion you can literally tranform into zapdos and the thing that I don't like about blastoise is that it is not that much tanky compared to snorlax and slowbro
I like how Zoroark can use illusion and turn into a wild Pokémon or enemy Pokémon. Just thinking about this gets me excited to hide as a wild Pokémon and surprise my enemy. What I don't like about Blastoise is it seems as if you are forced to play rapid spin for it to be viable in games. Lets see some love for surf.
I really like how they implemented illusion on zoroark along with the move set. I don’t like how blastoise just does not seem to die when I’m going against him, but when I play him he’s squishier than alcremie
I like how zoroarks illusion passive can help lead to situations that lean into its combo heavy move set, while still being punishable for skilled players paying close enough attention to the mini-map and spawn of wild Pokémon. I feel like Blastoise has a good move set but is losing out to other defenders that have a higher skill cap. I feel like I would rather have a lot of other tanks instead that are better at CC or better at tanking damage or being a distraction. I’m just never super afraid of seeing a Blastoise.
I love how zoroark’s moves all have synergies with each other. Seems like you can use all iterations of the 4 moves and have it work out. Could use cut for health regen or shadow claw for more cc on either night slash or feint attack. Unlike blastoise, where the moves are pretty stuck in their ways and don’t get along with their neighbors.
Zoroark is what i was waiting for. I've been saving coins for a long time. I like its passive called illusion. Even in the anime this ability is so nice. I wonder how it will be used by the competitive players. Blastoise was pretty good before few patches but now it feels little low as most of the defenders. I wish defenders will get more attention as other attackers and speedsters pokemon.
I really like the look of the night slash + shadow claw combo, I think that being able to reposition a big burst of damage looks really satisfying! I don't like that Blastoise struggles so much until level 9, it's underwhelming for awhile.
What I like about Zoroark is how his moves are fast, he can dash attack multiple times as well as disguise himself too. Seems like he will be a very powerful pokemon to have. As for Blastoise, I absolutely do not like how long it takes for him to evolve. It's literally the only thing that keeps me from picking him more than half the time. 😂
Zoroark's mobility and sustain looks neat! Also the illusion passive opens for a lot a cool invade and/or gank potential! Blastoise doesn’t feel resilient enough and there’s many other better options to play as a bruiser type from the all rounders.
I love how Zoroark's Night Slash move works it seems really fun and dynamic to work around and different scenarios, not to mention flashy lol. I don't like Blastoise's Rapid spin, he seems to have so much slow immunity when he's using it haha.
I love how mobile Zoroark is, it makes his playstyle feel fluid and seems like alot of fun. For Blastoise, I just don't like how he just feels a bit chunky lol
Zoroark starts off a cutie and he has lots of combo potential. I love how they are adding more unique Pokémon to the game. Blastoise was my go-to at first but feels so weak now. Its surf was my favorite move but now that some other Pokémon have it, too, by comparison he feels like he’s underwhelming.
I like the anime episode of Zoroark where it transform into ppl to playing pranks, but it ceeps this bushy tail so ppl can see thats something is wrong and it is allways giggeling xD Bastois is so dam slow in the anime :p
Something in particular about Zoroark I’ve always been a sucker for a red & black color scheme. I know it’s popular & I’m sure that’s why they did it. But Hisuian Zorua/Zoroark look great with the red & white as well! Also Dark types are my all time favorite as Umbreon has always been my all time favorite Pokémon. I hope they add Umbreon to Unite at some point since Espeon is already a combatant! 😎😭 For Blastoise I’ve always disliked how they can never get his arms right in certain situations, or they don’t let him use his cannons for move animations in the games! 😂 Good luck to all who enter! 🍀😁🤙🏻
Zoroark is my favourite Pokemon, it's design and aesthetic is just really cool and the way he can transform. Also Zoroa is one of the cutest pokemon to exist and you can't change my mind on that. Blastoise isn't bad but as a defender in Unite he just doesnt feel defender-y if that even makes sense. His cc on surf is really cool but mew's and greninja's surf are better.
I like Zoroark’s potential for varied play. The skill combos and health regeneration has a ton of potential for newer approaches in gameplay. What I don’t like about blastoise is that they removed the “unstoppable” status while doing some of his moves. This was, I think, one of the best reasons why his moves (pushing players and creeps away) comes handy in critical situations.
I like Zoroark's design, that flowing spiky ponytail is badass. I don't like that Blastoise is missing a squirtle gang skin - he and squirtle both need those cool sunglasses.
I've been playing unite since the night it came out, and Zoroark was my first thought when thinking about who I wanted to see added. But I thought it could never be done cause of illusion. I love how they implemented it though, it's got a ton of potential for actually tricking people. Looking at its moveset I'm worried that clefable could absolutely counter it. Getting caught by a Blastoise surf or similar will almost be a pain, but Blastoise really isn't as bulky as it should be for a defender, so Blastoise specifically won't be that hard to deal with playing Zoroark.
I’m really excited to see how fun zoroark will be! The best part about his is the illusions ofc. I wanna catch my opponents by surprise. I want to cause as much chaos as possible (without harming my team ofc). The thing I personally dislike about blastoise is that its overshadowed by charizard in GF’s eyes. Blastoise is amazing imo and it was one of my first mains. I was using Surf+Hydro Pump from the beginning because it promoted a defensive playstyle. Defense has always been my favorite but I occasionally play the more chaotic characters due to how fun they are :)
I love the animation of Zoroark’s Night Slash combo! My favorite attack in the whole game without a doubt! The only thing I dislike about Blastoise is that he isn’t more viable nowadays, I remember having tons of fun using Rapid Spin + Water Spout!
I Like the faced paced nature of Zoro's attacks. They give the awesome feeling of speed and frantic gameplay, but spaced out juuuuust enough that it dosn't directly contribute to the current meta of "one giant combo burst", similar to a melee based psyshock gardevior in a way. Massive damage, but you still feel like you can play your way out of it. And Blastiose. Poor poor blastoise. My man has artillery watercannons on his back, but just feels like he splashes around. Blastiose used to be the king of movement manipulation with hydro pump and a massive surf, but it feels like they either dont do enough CC and/or displacement anymore. There is to much play around them. Maybe adding a soaked "slow" effect to the end of his water moves. I dont know. but my man needs his CC potency back.
I like the two movesets for Zoroark. They look like they give you a lot of mobility to work around the enemy team. What I don't like about Blastoise is how the Surf on that Pokémon feels like a weaker version of Mew's Surf. I also don't like how it feels you aren't pushing enemies around as much with Hydro Pump/Surf as you did on the old map.
In Unite I love that Zoroark has a lot of combo potential, seems like there aren’t many pokemon with built in combo effects like Mime Tsareena and Garchomp. Zoroark has always been one of my favorite pokemon in the main series because it forces people to pay attention and remember how much health certain pokemon were left with to figure out the disguise. Blastoise to me has always been very boring to play in unite. You just hold down one button and spin around and then move close to people it’s basically the opposite of Zoroark. No paying attention to combos no chaining just spin
I like that zoroark has a lot of combo potential, and they're really prompting you to chain hits and play competent. I don't like blastoise in that it feels like it starts slow and it's full evo doesn't stack up to some other defenders like a good snorlax or mamoswine.
I love how the way they incorporated Ilusion in unite, it can ensure that you always get the jump on your oponents. While Blastoise can be amazing in good hands, I really don't like how easy he is to shut down in a teamfight, he needs a way to somehow mitigrate damage in a fight.
I love that zoroark is the first unova Pokémon in this game. It’s my favorite region and one of my favorite Pokémon. The illusion gimmick was also used very clever in this game, and still makes sense to how it’s used in the main series.I can’t wait to use it, potential new main! I use to have blastoise as my main, but he was buggy when he first came out. Then he got over shadowed.
Imo zoroark's night slash is the most unique move in unite in terms of playstyle. And even if faint attack is gonna be better, I'm still gonna play night slash What I don't like about blastoise is, when you're stuck with a Pokemon which is move reliant with high cooldowns and you've used them and it has rapid spin water spout combo, you're basically dead if you're alone. I don't know if I should necessarily hate it cuz it's situation reliant a lot, but I'm a lucario main and i get stuck in those situations a lot and that's why I hate it
I like the concealment of Zoroark's Illusion ability makes it feel like a true assassin, lurking not only in the shadows but also out in the open! Regarding Blastoise, I don't like that Blastoise's moves have such high cooldowns. If they were lowered a bit I think that 'mon would see a lot more play than it it does currently.
Zoroark looks very cool coming from an absol main, i like how you get rewarded a ton by hitting multiple skillshots in a row. Imagine if they gave the same thing to blastoise's hydro pump as they did to charizard's flamethrower, I think that defender/cc build could be so much better if it could move while using pump since right now it feels like you stun yourself every time you use that move.
Thing that I like about Zoroak, is that its playstyle makes it's like another assassin where you’re doing a big combo of moves and then disappearing - similar to Zeraora (my main). The thing I dislike about Blastoise is that they need to buff it’s ability to survive and focus on being a super tank where the team could stand behind it, and not worry about it’s damage output since yeah that nerf to its damage was rightfully done
What I love about Zoroark is the passive, for a year I was curious on how they would incorporate Illusion into a playstyle, and I feel like this is the best way. What I don't like about Blastoise is really just a grudge but man did I hate how much damage he did at first lmao
I like how mobile zoroark looks and it's special ability should create some fun moments. It's really cool when a pokemon's special ability is memorable and gives it a unique playstyle, unlike say, blastoise whose ability goes completely unnoticed and doesn't feel special at all.
I really like Zoroark’s speed and attack power. You can really out play opponents especially with the last attack from feint attack to escape from opposing Pokémon. I don’t like how Blastoise isn’t as good as it used to be.
what i like about zoroark is his connection with N in black and white, gen 5 has always been my favourite gen and game and having him on pokemon unite really hyped me up. And what i could dislike about blastoise is maybe the fact that playing him is not as fun as before, he is one of the first pokemon i buyed and i loved playing both moveset, but now i think he is outclassed by other mon and doesn't seem as fun as before.
i love the contrasting colors on zoroark, the red and black/ash/dark gray. i dont like the dmg output on blastoise currently, and his outfits leave some to be desired.
I love Zoroark's mobility and potential for some crazy ambushes! I don't like rapid spin+hydro pump synergy on Blastiose. It needs better burst damage or a shorter cooldown.
Zoroark is pretty cool for the reason that it's able to sneak in behind the enemy team catching them off guard and it'll probably feel cool doing something like that. Blastoise is in a tough spot where its not that tanky or able to output enough damage to be a juggernaut
I like how Zoroarks Illusion works like from the Black and White onwards version in which Zoroarks copy your last pokemon as illusion, also Zorua is really cute! What I dont like about Blastoise is that the moveset rapid spin and spout is not as good as surf and hydro pump, it could be fun if they change the mechanics of rapid spin + spout!
Really like that apart of being a jungler his movset is really cool the fact that night shlash turns into another move after hitting it consecutivly is really good . Blastoises water sprout is so boring to play, because many times I play him with it I hit it and all enemies escape easly but when they play it I get instantly killed when it hits me.
For me, I like how zoroark can turn into a wild Pokémon because that will set up for some crazy meme invade strategies, I also like how when you leave the illusion due to time run out, the cooldown is almost reset so you can turn back into something pretty much instantly, regarding Blastoise I never liked spin + spout and that has been the meta build for a while now, I was always a surf fan and it sucks how surf is incredibly underused because trevenant exists.
His running animation was not what I expected haha, but it like it. The turtle on the other hand, I wish you could surf and rapid spin on the same build…
I like that Zoroark has high mobility and skill ceiling as a speedster should. I don’t like how Blastoise with surf isn’t as popular as lane Cinderace. It would be a lot more helpful imo.
What I love about how Unite Handled Zoroark is its huge mobility and killing power along a spice of mind games when using Illusion correctly. Zoroark has always been a favorite Pokemon and really glad Unite capture its personality. Blastoise feels alright when I used him a few games but than again I dont play defenders much but based from what I seeing most defenders rn does a better job at being a defender. Tho Blastoise Unite still pretty sick
I love that zoroark feels like a speedster but attacks like an all arounder. Kind of gives you a versatile selection based on move set choice. Blastoise is crazy slow to level up. You're mostly useless until you evolve. He gets stuck on corners with surf WAY too much. He be frumpy.
I like how zeraoaks difficulty of playing will probably be increased so they are finally be a Pokemon that has a high skill cap. I don't like blastoises hydro pump because I think it's a bit too good at stealing objectives if no one's paying attention to it

The thing I really like about zoroark is how it has so many opportunities to set up so many cool combos. The thing I don't like about blastoise is that it's just really slow and doeen't do that much damage overall
Yessir I knew that guy was a scammer look at sprags paying attention to the community
I love zoroark feint attack so useful on team fight ı guess
Blastoise surf so annoying push you everytime

Thanks
Yeah I really want a free lisence. After mew event no pokemon is given free yet.

I like how they incorporated Zoroark’s trademark ability of transforming from the games and the anime into unite. I don’t like that Blastoise feels a little behind other defenders because it could be really cool.
The main thing I like about Zoroark is it really seems to have good combos that actually feel like they will still take skill to pull off. The main thing I dislike about Blastoise is that it's rapid spin is very easy to just run away from and it's surf often gets stuck on the edge of walls
I like how Zoroark will likely reward smart plays, I can see where between it and Sableye all kinds of mind games will be coming to the game which could shake things up a bit. As for Blastoise, I think it doesn't smile enough.
I like how they incorporated Zoroark speed and flashiness into the game, about Blastoise i think hydro pump + rapid spin should do more
I love that they incorporated Zorark's ability into the game! It'll be a sneaky play for sure, just think of the shenanigans we'll be seeing! As for blasty boi, it sucks how he feels now after all the debuffs, I wish he had healing with rapid spin or something, he needs a little buff to really make him more playable.
I like how they implemented Zoroark’s signature ability disguise into this game! I don’t like how Blastoise can’t use his unite move in the middle of his rapid spin - there should totally be an awesome special effect if the unite move is used in the middle of rapid spin.
Zoroarks illusion ability is real cool. Blastoise is a wacky turtle
"who watches spragels at 3 in the morning?"
me: OH BOY 3 AM
on the note honestly zoroark looks super fun zipping around hopefully its not too broken
meanwhile blastoise still owes me money for that concert ticket I bought him in college what a jerk
I love how Zoroark moves around the battlefield so fast. I don’t really like how blastoise’s moves have such high cooldowns.
My guess is that they want Blastoise to have really powerful moves that can handle 2-3 opposing Pokémon at once but the long cooldowns are justified by its boosted attack effect. It does feel a little underwhelming how much Blastoise has changed I will admit.
I love how these animations look for zororark, it’s gonna be so cool to see these awesome flashy dashes all around a fight. I really wish blastoise’s hydro pump surf build did more since a defender who’s able to push enemy’s away from goal and objectives really well is so cool. It’s a shame mew’s surf is better
I like how they gave zoroark a set of moves that feel similar to moves that already exist within the game, but with a twist. The problem I have with Blastoise is that his rapid spin can now be cancelled by some other abilities, which basically leaves him useless if the gets cc'ed in a fight.
Did u like my comment so much that you decided to copy/paste it? I feel flattered haha
The combo nature of Zoroark is super cool and I really like that it has that health regen on cut! His passive is also going to be so much fun! If only Blastoise had a cool identity like that, his combo stuff is fine but he feels mid compared to the other defenders and I wish he had a cooler passive like some of the newer pokemon.
I'm honestly oddly hyped about Cut. I always have issues with fragility when running speedster roles, so a regen move with low cooldown sounds perfect.
I feel like Blastoise _should_ be built out to just sit and tank while scoring, (a la Crustle), but the application of that is a bit too situational, requiring a unite move usage. Idk, I'm probably wrong anyways, but that's just my 2 cents.
I like that Zoroark has some outplay potential both with its illusion and with all of its dash attacks. Blastoise just feels forgotten and needs a lot to make it work within a team, especially in solo que.
I love how Zoroark has both movesets focus on getting good positioning. It's gonna be a super skill based mon. Blastoise just isn't doing a ton at the moment. Neither of his movesets really hinder the enemy team enough to justify his lack of damage in this bursty of a meta.
I like the illusion being a totally new concept for Zoroark in Unite! Cant wait to see how it is going to fully work out in the game myself! I dont like the long cooldown of Blastoise, and the fact that its basically 'useless' after it uses its move to create cc.
Honestly think Zoroark’s connections with N in Black and White has to be the coolest thing about it. And the only real downside to blastoise I guess would be that in the games it doesn’t actually shoot water from its canons
I love the outplay potential that Zoroark is going to bring to the table with all of his dashing moves. It's really going to let the good players style on other people. I don't like that Blastoise is advertised as a Defender but he doesn't really defend as well as the other pokemon labeled as defender
Blastoise’s real issue is that his leveling up is broken. He gets to blastoise very late in the game unlike any other pokemon
I thought the same way about Blastoise at first but it a good pokemon to rush in and push with its surf/pump set. If you focus less on its damage output and boost its hp and longevity it's rapid spin set is an absolute unit of a damage tank
I love Zoroarks design! And we have another Gen 5 representation in unite!! Blastoise to me is too slow I know that we can use a float stone and it’s a defender so it isn’t supposed to be fast but it sure does feel like it takes hours to get across the map
The thing i love about zoroak is that feint attack combo it's got a lot of outplay potential , and blastoise just doesn't feel good rn u can go for the dmg build that's viable bt then he is no longer a tanky defender i think they shud do some health changes to his tanky moves he feels behind the other defenders
I really like the combo potential that zoroark has plus blastoise can sometimes be so boring to play!
I like that Zoroark is a badass magic fox. I don't like that Blastoise is just a turtle, and not a magic fox...
I like how Zoroark is a good empathetic Pokemon who uses illusions to experience life someone else shoes
I love the dashing nature of Zorark, but I do worry about the matchup against gravity clefable, Blastoise has got to have the most disappointing move with water spout, on its own it practically does nothing, it should be reworked to life dew as a more supportive move
I love that the troll potential of Zoroark’s ability. It’s one of my all time favourite mons and getting it as a high burst character actually made me jump in joy… I don’t really play Blastoise but what I dislike about it the most is how hard it counters everything I love playing… I should probably be fixing that lol
I really like that it seems zoroark’s moves seem complimentary where nightslash looks like the go to move when you’re going into a cc heavy team. You set up the first hit ahead of time. Use the second hit to engage in and dodge the CC with the rising slam. Feint attack looks like the move when they have a lot of squishy targets.
Blastoise tho man I don’t like that he’s just mew version 0.75. Surf should just be better than mew’s surf
“No Spragels. That’s not my trick….
It’s my ILLUSION! (Favorite part)”
When you accidentally hit water spout and surf- “I’ve made a huge mistake.”
Feels like you would be a big arrested development fan so I’m banking on that winning me this Pokémon.
Has anyone in this family ever even seen a chicken!?
With only two commonly used moves per pokemon, it is really important that each move has outplay potential to keep gameplay from getting stale. I like that both playstyles of Zoroark have multiple uses for positioning and outplay potential to keep your mind active. it is unfortunate I cannot say the same for Blastoise, who has moves so slow and telegraphed that I find myself doing the same thing over and over again when I am playing him, only outplaying opponents that are very slow to react.
I like how Zoroark is really dashy and highly dependent on your skill, i also like how nighslash cuts through enemies like butter. I dont like how blastoise is bulky (opposite from Zoroark) and blastoise's unite is really awkward(very long frontswing before unite actually deals damage).
Love Zoroark's ability, I feel like it's gonna have some interesting possibilities for trickery and shenanigans!
I do wish Blastoise's moves combo'd with each other better though. Like obviously, Surf + Hydro Pump and Rapid Spin + Water Spout are two pretty good combos, but I wish the other two combos could combine to be more functional. Rapid Spin *kinda* combines with Hydro Pump but it doesn't feel good enough to be worth it, and Surf + Water Spout just feels... kinda contrary? You have the move that requires the enemies to stand in an area, and then you have the move that pushes them away from the area. I'd love to see something like Surf becoming more powerful or having more knockback if the wave goes through a Water Spout area
I love Zoroark's playstyles, do some quick dash and slash, potentially tricking the opponent with illusion, and overall eing a cool pokemon in general. Big gen-5er here, loved this pokemon from b/w. Not much of a fan of Blastoise but only because the rapid spin build on it just annoying to deal with if it's your opponent. But I also agree that there are better defenders out there compared to Blastoise :(
I liked how they gave Zoroark a flexible move set so you don’t have to worry about choosing the wrong one. They both seem balanced to me. With blastoise, the nerf that it’s rapid spin got definitely made it harder to play around with and makes it easier to combo in-game.
I think my favorite thing about zoroark has to be the way that rapid spin combos with both of his moves. Personally rapid spin/water spout is my favorite, hope the damage is there!
As for blastoise, I kind of feel like the illusion ability won’t be very relevant. 🤷🏻♂️ maybe that’s just me!
I love how dash-ing zoroark is with their looks and moves. I don’t like how Blastoise doesn’t have a skin with it wearing the sunglasses from the squirtle squad.
I really love Zoroark's outplay capabilities and the fact that Zoroark's my favorite pokemon! I would definitely main him!
Things I hate about Blastoise:
Lacks a lot in many aspects
and him being a defender
Honestly the artwork for Zoroark's moves look so clean and great for releasing on Halloween. Obviously sad about the pricing situation that has come out about it... Blastoise on the other hand, I've been LOVING this season! Rapid spout is so deadly and feels like an allrounder in terms of damage. Surf Hydro can be a bit tougher to use. Mid game is also a little tougher and you have to make sure you are leveling adequetally which can be tough.
I like the way the moveset combos are set up for Zoroark, the seem fun once you get the hang of it, the illusion passive is going to be fun since I like to sneak up and score some easy points in the goals. What I don't like about Blastoise is that it's hard sometimes to level up in the beginning and more if your team isn't helping much with the battles, making it difficult to level up and evolve quick enough
I like your posters in the back and also I like how at a glance or distance your pfp looks like your about to punch the screen
I like the trickery with dashy moves of zoroark. If only blastoise had a little more burstyness. Love the videos keep it up!
Zoroark’s illusion ability is really cool and makes the Pokémon unique. I like all the new things they are doing with new releases like Dodrio’s scoring, Clefable having 6 Unite Moves, and Sableye having fake Aeos energy and being invisible.
Something I don’t like about Blastoise is that people always say you have to use Water Spout/Rapid Spin, but I still really like Surf Hydro Pump and it’s just not as fun to play as it was on release.
Hii, as a Gengar main, a liked pretty much the kind of infinite combo that Zoroark has with feint attack, it kinda counters Hex Gengars combo, and others long combos, what i dont like about Blastoise is that compared with other tanks as slowbro o snorlax, feels somewhat weak in terms of endurance, also Water Spout doesn't have that much impact if used without Rapid Spin. Sorry my english im from Colombia XD
Whatever set you choose for Zoroark it’ll be really cool both to see, but also to use inside the game mechanics. On the other side, I don’t feel to find a negative aspect for Blastoise because it was the pokemon that made me reach a higher grade in the game. Maybe the only thing that I can see is that Blastoise is used mostly at lower grades and few players can use it well at pro level
I love the Illusion mechanic for Zoroark. Nothing like Blastoise, who I've never understood why it isn't a Water/Steel.
I love Zoroark's flowing hair! Don't even get me started on that darn Blastoise and his "cool" cannons! ;)
I love how you could potentially play zoroark like the TF2 spy where you trick them and them attack from behind, my biggest gripe with Blastoise is he is my favorite defender but it feels like he just hasn't been given the same attention the others have gotten.
Unite has been giving me so many of my favorites recently with Tyranitar and now Zoroark. I remember begging my mom to take me to GameStop in 2011 when BW came out for the Zoroark event giveaway, now I’m hoping to get it in a Unite giveaway. History repeats itself ❤️
I like that zoroark is another unique addition with an interesting mechanic being added to the game. I don't like that blastoises rapid spin moveset still seems to overshadow it's actually GREAT defensive moves in hydro pump and surf. rapid spin blastoise just doesn't fill the defender role.
The thing I like about zoroark is the illusion you can literally tranform into zapdos and the thing that I don't like about blastoise is that it is not that much tanky compared to snorlax and slowbro
I like how Zoroark can use illusion and turn into a wild Pokémon or enemy Pokémon. Just thinking about this gets me excited to hide as a wild Pokémon and surprise my enemy. What I don't like about Blastoise is it seems as if you are forced to play rapid spin for it to be viable in games. Lets see some love for surf.
I like the way they implemented Zoroak from its attack to its stats is just so good
I like how Zoroark has the knock-up on it’s shadow claw, it feels more fair than Blastoise’s Unite move, for example, which does a TON of knock-up
I really like how they implemented illusion on zoroark along with the move set. I don’t like how blastoise just does not seem to die when I’m going against him, but when I play him he’s squishier than alcremie
I like how zoroarks illusion passive can help lead to situations that lean into its combo heavy move set, while still being punishable for skilled players paying close enough attention to the mini-map and spawn of wild Pokémon.
I feel like Blastoise has a good move set but is losing out to other defenders that have a higher skill cap. I feel like I would rather have a lot of other tanks instead that are better at CC or better at tanking damage or being a distraction. I’m just never super afraid of seeing a Blastoise.
I love how zoroark’s moves all have synergies with each other. Seems like you can use all iterations of the 4 moves and have it work out. Could use cut for health regen or shadow claw for more cc on either night slash or feint attack.
Unlike blastoise, where the moves are pretty stuck in their ways and don’t get along with their neighbors.
Zoroark is what i was waiting for. I've been saving coins for a long time. I like its passive called illusion. Even in the anime this ability is so nice. I wonder how it will be used by the competitive players.
Blastoise was pretty good before few patches but now it feels little low as most of the defenders. I wish defenders will get more attention as other attackers and speedsters pokemon.
I really like the look of the night slash + shadow claw combo, I think that being able to reposition a big burst of damage looks really satisfying! I don't like that Blastoise struggles so much until level 9, it's underwhelming for awhile.
What I like about Zoroark is how his moves are fast, he can dash attack multiple times as well as disguise himself too. Seems like he will be a very powerful pokemon to have. As for Blastoise, I absolutely do not like how long it takes for him to evolve. It's literally the only thing that keeps me from picking him more than half the time. 😂
Zoroark's mobility and sustain looks neat! Also the illusion passive opens for a lot a cool invade and/or gank potential!
Blastoise doesn’t feel resilient enough and there’s many other better options to play as a bruiser type from the all rounders.
I love how Zoroark's Night Slash move works it seems really fun and dynamic to work around and different scenarios, not to mention flashy lol. I don't like Blastoise's Rapid spin, he seems to have so much slow immunity when he's using it haha.
I love how mobile Zoroark is, it makes his playstyle feel fluid and seems like alot of fun. For Blastoise, I just don't like how he just feels a bit chunky lol
Zoroark starts off a cutie and he has lots of combo potential. I love how they are adding more unique Pokémon to the game.
Blastoise was my go-to at first but feels so weak now. Its surf was my favorite move but now that some other Pokémon have it, too, by comparison he feels like he’s underwhelming.
I like the anime episode of Zoroark where it transform into ppl to playing pranks, but it ceeps this bushy tail so ppl can see thats something is wrong and it is allways giggeling xD Bastois is so dam slow in the anime :p
Something in particular about Zoroark I’ve always been a sucker for a red & black color scheme. I know it’s popular & I’m sure that’s why they did it. But Hisuian Zorua/Zoroark look great with the red & white as well! Also Dark types are my all time favorite as Umbreon has always been my all time favorite Pokémon. I hope they add Umbreon to Unite at some point since Espeon is already a combatant! 😎😭
For Blastoise I’ve always disliked how they can never get his arms right in certain situations, or they don’t let him use his cannons for move animations in the games! 😂
Good luck to all who enter! 🍀😁🤙🏻
Zoroark is my favourite Pokemon, it's design and aesthetic is just really cool and the way he can transform. Also Zoroa is one of the cutest pokemon to exist and you can't change my mind on that. Blastoise isn't bad but as a defender in Unite he just doesnt feel defender-y if that even makes sense. His cc on surf is really cool but mew's and greninja's surf are better.
i love how Zoroark involves a lot of combos to play him well and also blastoise water spout should do more as a standalone move
I like Zoroark’s potential for varied play. The skill combos and health regeneration has a ton of potential for newer approaches in gameplay. What I don’t like about blastoise is that they removed the “unstoppable” status while doing some of his moves. This was, I think, one of the best reasons why his moves (pushing players and creeps away) comes handy in critical situations.
I like Zoroark's design, that flowing spiky ponytail is badass. I don't like that Blastoise is missing a squirtle gang skin - he and squirtle both need those cool sunglasses.
I've been playing unite since the night it came out, and Zoroark was my first thought when thinking about who I wanted to see added. But I thought it could never be done cause of illusion. I love how they implemented it though, it's got a ton of potential for actually tricking people. Looking at its moveset I'm worried that clefable could absolutely counter it. Getting caught by a Blastoise surf or similar will almost be a pain, but Blastoise really isn't as bulky as it should be for a defender, so Blastoise specifically won't be that hard to deal with playing Zoroark.
Hi Flare ThePyro! You won one of the Zoroarks. Check my twitter for the public announcement and dm me so I can get you your Zoroark
I like how Illusion will set up some pretty unique moments in the game. I don't like how Blastoise's hydro pump isn't very effective
I’m really excited to see how fun zoroark will be! The best part about his is the illusions ofc. I wanna catch my opponents by surprise. I want to cause as much chaos as possible (without harming my team ofc). The thing I personally dislike about blastoise is that its overshadowed by charizard in GF’s eyes. Blastoise is amazing imo and it was one of my first mains. I was using Surf+Hydro Pump from the beginning because it promoted a defensive playstyle. Defense has always been my favorite but I occasionally play the more chaotic characters due to how fun they are :)
I love the animation of Zoroark’s Night Slash combo! My favorite attack in the whole game without a doubt! The only thing I dislike about Blastoise is that he isn’t more viable nowadays, I remember having tons of fun using Rapid Spin + Water Spout!
I love that Zoroark illusion ability was made to fit so well for a MOBA. And I hate that Blastoise kind of took slowbros place when he first came out
I Like the faced paced nature of Zoro's attacks. They give the awesome feeling of speed and frantic gameplay, but spaced out juuuuust enough that it dosn't directly contribute to the current meta of "one giant combo burst", similar to a melee based psyshock gardevior in a way. Massive damage, but you still feel like you can play your way out of it.
And Blastiose. Poor poor blastoise. My man has artillery watercannons on his back, but just feels like he splashes around. Blastiose used to be the king of movement manipulation with hydro pump and a massive surf, but it feels like they either dont do enough CC and/or displacement anymore. There is to much play around them. Maybe adding a soaked "slow" effect to the end of his water moves. I dont know. but my man needs his CC potency back.
I like the two movesets for Zoroark. They look like they give you a lot of mobility to work around the enemy team. What I don't like about Blastoise is how the Surf on that Pokémon feels like a weaker version of Mew's Surf. I also don't like how it feels you aren't pushing enemies around as much with Hydro Pump/Surf as you did on the old map.
In Unite I love that Zoroark has a lot of combo potential, seems like there aren’t many pokemon with built in combo effects like Mime Tsareena and Garchomp. Zoroark has always been one of my favorite pokemon in the main series because it forces people to pay attention and remember how much health certain pokemon were left with to figure out the disguise.
Blastoise to me has always been very boring to play in unite. You just hold down one button and spin around and then move close to people it’s basically the opposite of Zoroark. No paying attention to combos no chaining just spin
I like that zoroark has a lot of combo potential, and they're really prompting you to chain hits and play competent. I don't like blastoise in that it feels like it starts slow and it's full evo doesn't stack up to some other defenders like a good snorlax or mamoswine.
I love how the way they incorporated Ilusion in unite, it can ensure that you always get the jump on your oponents. While Blastoise can be amazing in good hands, I really don't like how easy he is to shut down in a teamfight, he needs a way to somehow mitigrate damage in a fight.
I love that zoroark is the first unova Pokémon in this game. It’s my favorite region and one of my favorite Pokémon. The illusion gimmick was also used very clever in this game, and still makes sense to how it’s used in the main series.I can’t wait to use it, potential new main! I use to have blastoise as my main, but he was buggy when he first came out. Then he got over shadowed.
Imo zoroark's night slash is the most unique move in unite in terms of playstyle. And even if faint attack is gonna be better, I'm still gonna play night slash
What I don't like about blastoise is, when you're stuck with a Pokemon which is move reliant with high cooldowns and you've used them and it has rapid spin water spout combo, you're basically dead if you're alone. I don't know if I should necessarily hate it cuz it's situation reliant a lot, but I'm a lucario main and i get stuck in those situations a lot and that's why I hate it
I like the concealment of Zoroark's Illusion ability makes it feel like a true assassin, lurking not only in the shadows but also out in the open!
Regarding Blastoise, I don't like that Blastoise's moves have such high cooldowns. If they were lowered a bit I think that 'mon would see a lot more play than it it does currently.
Zoroark looks very cool coming from an absol main, i like how you get rewarded a ton by hitting multiple skillshots in a row. Imagine if they gave the same thing to blastoise's hydro pump as they did to charizard's flamethrower, I think that defender/cc build could be so much better if it could move while using pump since right now it feels like you stun yourself every time you use that move.
Thing that I like about Zoroak, is that its playstyle makes it's like another assassin where you’re doing a big combo of moves and then disappearing - similar to Zeraora (my main). The thing I dislike about Blastoise is that they need to buff it’s ability to survive and focus on being a super tank where the team could stand behind it, and not worry about it’s damage output since yeah that nerf to its damage was rightfully done
What I love about Zoroark is the passive, for a year I was curious on how they would incorporate Illusion into a playstyle, and I feel like this is the best way. What I don't like about Blastoise is really just a grudge but man did I hate how much damage he did at first lmao
I like how mobile zoroark looks and it's special ability should create some fun moments. It's really cool when a pokemon's special ability is memorable and gives it a unique playstyle, unlike say, blastoise whose ability goes completely unnoticed and doesn't feel special at all.
I really like Zoroark’s speed and attack power. You can really out play opponents especially with the last attack from feint attack to escape from opposing Pokémon. I don’t like how Blastoise isn’t as good as it used to be.
what i like about zoroark is his connection with N in black and white, gen 5 has always been my favourite gen and game and having him on pokemon unite really hyped me up.
And what i could dislike about blastoise is maybe the fact that playing him is not as fun as before, he is one of the first pokemon i buyed and i loved playing both moveset, but now i think he is outclassed by other mon and doesn't seem as fun as before.
i love the contrasting colors on zoroark, the red and black/ash/dark gray. i dont like the dmg output on blastoise currently, and his outfits leave some to be desired.
I love Zoroark's mobility and potential for some crazy ambushes! I don't like rapid spin+hydro pump synergy on Blastiose. It needs better burst damage or a shorter cooldown.
Zoroark is pretty cool for the reason that it's able to sneak in behind the enemy team catching them off guard and it'll probably feel cool doing something like that. Blastoise is in a tough spot where its not that tanky or able to output enough damage to be a juggernaut
I like how Zoroarks Illusion works like from the Black and White onwards version in which Zoroarks copy your last pokemon as illusion, also Zorua is really cute!
What I dont like about Blastoise is that the moveset rapid spin and spout is not as good as surf and hydro pump, it could be fun if they change the mechanics of rapid spin + spout!
Really like that apart of being a jungler his movset is really cool the fact that night shlash turns into another move after hitting it consecutivly is really good . Blastoises water sprout is so boring to play, because many times I play him with it I hit it and all enemies escape easly but when they play it I get instantly killed when it hits me.
For me, I like how zoroark can turn into a wild Pokémon because that will set up for some crazy meme invade strategies, I also like how when you leave the illusion due to time run out, the cooldown is almost reset so you can turn back into something pretty much instantly, regarding Blastoise I never liked spin + spout and that has been the meta build for a while now, I was always a surf fan and it sucks how surf is incredibly underused because trevenant exists.
His running animation was not what I expected haha, but it like it. The turtle on the other hand, I wish you could surf and rapid spin on the same build…
I like that Zoroark has high mobility and skill ceiling as a speedster should. I don’t like how Blastoise with surf isn’t as popular as lane Cinderace. It would be a lot more helpful imo.
What I love about how Unite Handled Zoroark is its huge mobility and killing power along a spice of mind games when using Illusion correctly. Zoroark has always been a favorite Pokemon and really glad Unite capture its personality. Blastoise feels alright when I used him a few games but than again I dont play defenders much but based from what I seeing most defenders rn does a better job at being a defender. Tho Blastoise Unite still pretty sick
I love that zoroark feels like a speedster but attacks like an all arounder. Kind of gives you a versatile selection based on move set choice.
Blastoise is crazy slow to level up. You're mostly useless until you evolve. He gets stuck on corners with surf WAY too much. He be frumpy.
I like how zeraoaks difficulty of playing will probably be increased so they are finally be a Pokemon that has a high skill cap.
I don't like blastoises hydro pump because I think it's a bit too good at stealing objectives if no one's paying attention to it
I LOVE how unique illusion is on Zoroark! Also blastoise surf still feels so weak!
