Zorua is a fox-like dark type Pokémon who can use illusions to turn into other pokémon or even people. You can get Zorua through a special event in Pokémon White, the fifth generation of the Pokémon video game franchise. This requires that you have the promotional Celebi given out at GameStop for the launch of the game.

Method 1
Method 1 of 3:

Getting Celebi with the Relocator

  1. 1
    Get the fateful encounter Celebi. This Celebi was a promotional Pokémon distributed in 2011 at GameStop and during a mall tour for Pokémon Black and White. If you didn't pick one up at those events, you will have to borrow one from another player or use action replay cheats to add one to your party.
  2. 2
    Get the Relocator. The Relocator allows you to transfer promotional Pokémon into the game. To get the Relocator option added to your menu, follow these steps:
    • Go to Castelia City and find the Name Rating Services on the left side of the street north of the central plaza.[1]
    • Go to the 11th floor and talk to a scientist in the lower right corner. He will ask you for two sets of passwords.
    • Answer his questions with "Everyone + Happy" and then "Simple + Connection." This will add the Relocator option to your Main Menu.

  3. 3
    Use the Relocator to add Celebi to your party. Restart your DS and select the Relocator option from your main menu. Set up the DS wireless connection with another DS system and use the "download play" option to get the promotional Celebi into your system.

Method 2 of 3:

Getting Zorua with Celebi

  1. 1
    Go to Castelia City. You can get there on foot either from Route 4 through the desert or via the Skyarrow Bridge.[2]
    • Make sure you have a Pokéball, an open space in your party, and a Celebi in your party.
  2. 2
    Find the Game Freak building and go inside. Game Freak HQ is a black building on the right side of Castelia Street, the east-most of the city's four radial streets. Coming off the Skyarrow Bridge simply turn down the first street that opens to your right.
  3. 3
    Talk to the boy next to the bar. There will be a boy and a girl standing in front of a bar in the first room you see upon entering. The boy is the one on the left. Walk up and talk to him. If you have Celebi in your party, it will pop out, and the boy will say "Yip yap!" and reveal himself to be Zorua in disguise. The girl standing next to him will suggest that Celebi and Zorua are good friends and that Zorua would like to go with you.[3]
  4. 4
    Answer "yes" to the prompt. A box will pop up asking if you would like to add Zorua to your party. Select yes.
  5. 5
    Select a Pokéball from your inventory. Any kind of poké ball will do. Zorua will go into the ball and join your party!

  • Question
    Can I get a celebi in black any other way?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    You can cheat one in. Otherwise, no, it is impossible to get the celebi. If you have a buddy that has that celebi, ask them for it, and they might give it to you.
  • Question
    I still can't do it; I already have a Celebi on my team and spaces on my team, why?

    You probably don't have the right Celebi. Only the Celebi that was given out at GameStop for the launch of Black and White will work.

    The Royal Unova will not leave until the evening. You will have to wait until then.
