A new "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire" event has arrived in North America and players will find a special Zoroark made available courtesy of Nintendo. In addition, this Pokemon is unique for its Sludge Bomb move, a type of attack that can't normally be acquired by other means.
According to International Business Times, Nintendo Network has unleashed the Zoroark that will feature the Sludge Bomb move, making it a special type of Pokemon. The "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire" Zoroark can only be obtained by selecting the Mystery Gift option within the game, but only when the Nintendo 3DS is able to connect to the Internet. The said event is currently ongoing for "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire" players in North America.
As for how to download the Pokemon, Siliconera explained that this can be done by choosing Mystery Gift, then Receive Gift, and Get Via Internet from the main menu. However, players are advised to ensure that they have saved their files prior to continuing. Also, Zoroark is said to arrive at level 50 with Sludge Bomb, along with some abilities such as Illusion, Dark Pulse, Sucker Punch, and Flamethrower. Furthermore, gamers can reportedly pick it up the next time they visit a Pokemon Center in-game.
iDigitalTimes, on the other hand, emphasized that the Sludge Move is quite perfect as it gives Zoroark the coverage needed to get rid of troublesome Fairy-type Pokemon - let alone giving access to a very powerful move in its own right. It is also worth noting that the special "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire" Sludge Bomb Zoroark event is to celebrate the release of the latest set of the Pokemon TCG set, BREAKthrough where it is reportedly part of this set.
As of writing, Nintendo has not officially revealed how long the Zoroark event will take place. Hence it's best for "Pokemon Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire" players to take advantage of it right away - especially the Sludge Bomb attack.
