Is Zoroark A Good Team Member In Gen 5 Ubers?

Question

I like Zoroark, because if I put a focus sash on it, I can fool my opponents and get a few Nasty Plots off.
But is it good enough to use in competitive?

Answer 1

Zoroark is a very unique Pokemon; its signature ability, Illusion, allows it to masquerade as the last Pokemon in the player's party. Although Team Preview theoretically hurts this strategy, it does not say when or even if Zoroark will be used in the battle. Zoroark is also very powerful in terms of offense, wielding a base 105 Attack and a base 120 Special Attack. In addition, Zoroark learns both Swords Dance and Nasty Plot, allowing it to boost either of its offensive stats. With 105 base Speed, it outspeeds positive natured base 100s, while also forcing a Speed tie with Mienshao and Mismagius. However, Zoroark's biggest downfall is its very poor bulk; it can barely switch in on neutral hits, and has trouble facing down priority moves such as Aqua Jet and Mach Punch. As such, Zoroark is a difficult Pokemon to use effectively. Although it may be viewed as a gimmicky Pokemon, it is very deadly when used properly.

According to Smogon this is what is say. Smogon doesn't recommend any Focus Sash as you say, however. The latest available usage stats for Gen 5 Ubers is 06/2020 kinda old, although from that we can say that Sand Stream user Tyranitar is not uncommon, with a usage of about 8%. So although Illusion can save you one turn from getting doomed by Tyranitar, you can't hit it that hard. Especially with the moveset given above, even a +2 move can't OHKO Tyranitar. For Nasty Plot user, Darkrai is far better than it, since it doesn't dies to a U-Turn like Zoroark. If you still want a no-legendary team, then there's a moveset for you:
Zoroark @ Life Orb
Ability: Illusion
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse
- Focus Blast
- Flamethrower

Actually, the asker depends which was the BA even though some got downvotes. And if you really think that's helps you should choose that answer BA. And please respect ABSOlute absolover which also spend his or her effort.

This is the better answer though and includes a better moveset

Lmfao! I didn't tell anbody to pick best answer! I said so because it helped me too.

Hold up
Zoroark can be a physical attacker?
Lmao

Should  I change it?

Oh geez...I hid my answer by accident... just gonna comment over here then...

Now, where to start?

Why is everyone being so mean to me? I try my best to answer questions or give advice, could you at least show a little respect by holding in your rude comments? And if you have suggestions, pls tell me, instead of just throwing out mean comments.

Geez! Show some respect! Even a mod said something rude to me!

It's not my problem you didn't answer the question.  The question asked if  Zoroark was good in Ubers and you didn't answer that at all.  You just answered with a moveset, no reasoning provided, which to be straightforward, isn't an answer.  
I also don't see what was rude about my comment.  I just said why your answer was downvoted.  And people can criticize something that is wrong.  It is up to you to figure out how to deal with it.
