Zorua

Description

Released in 2015 as part of the BREAKthrough expansion, this Pokémon Trading Card Game card features Zorua, the Disguise Pokémon, as a Basic Darkness-type unit. Carrying the card number 89 and the set code BKT, this release is illustrated by Hitoshi Ariga and serves as a foundational piece for many vintage Pokémon TCG collections. With 60 HP, Zorua provides strategic depth through its attack options, allowing players to manipulate the battlefield state rather than relying solely on direct damage. The card’s primary utility lies in its Darkness Moonless Madness attack. By activating this ability, a player can inflict the Confused status condition on the opponent's Active Pokémon, creating immediate tactical pressure. This effect is particularly valuable in the early game, where disrupting an opponent's momentum can dictate the pace of the match. Alternatively, Zorua offers the DarknessColorless Dark Edge attack, dealing 30 damage but requiring the player to discard an attached Energy card. This trade-off encourages careful resource management, as sacrificing energy resources can limit future attack options. For collectors, this card represents a specific era of the Pokémon TCG where status conditions played a more prominent role in deck construction. As a Common rarity card, it is accessible to those looking to complete the BREAKthrough set or acquire staples from the Sun & Moon era. The card's Pokédex number 570 ties it to a specific generation of Pokémon lore, appealing to fans who appreciate the narrative continuity across the franchise's expanding universe. Whether used for nostalgic collection or competitive deck building, Zorua 89 remains a recognizable and functional component of the BREAKthrough subset.
