The spotlight of the Ultra Unlock: Hisui Celebration event is on Hisuian Zorua, also known as the Spiteful Fox Pokemon, which is debuting in Pokemon GO. If you are eager to catch this Normal/Ghost-type Pokemon, now is the time. At the moment, there are two methods to catching Hisuian Zorua:

Wild spawns: Hisuian Zorua will appear in the wild more often during the event's duration, providing trainers with plenty of opportunities to locate one. This event-limited increase in spawns is the main way to find it in the wild.

Trade: In case you do miss encountering one within this timeframe, your next best option later will be to trade with another player who did get one.

As opposed to its pre-evolution, Hisuian Zoroark won't be available in the wild or raids during this event. The following are currently the most viable methods:

Evolving Hisuian Zorua: To get this Normal/Ghost-type final form, you'll have to acquire 50 Zorua Candy and evolve a Hisuian Zorua. Make sure you catch as many Zorua as you can or utilize Pinap Berries to ensure maximum candy gain.

Trade: Trading is also a viable option if you can't have access to enough candy or happen to miss the event.
