Pokémon Go is having a Zorua Community Day event on Saturday, Oct. 10 from 2-5 p.m. in your local time. This Community Day only features the original Unovan Zorua, not the normal- and ghost-type Hisuian Zorua.
As a reminder, Zorua will initially appear as whatever Pokémon is set as your buddy. Once you catch it, it'll transform back into a Zorua, similarly to Ditto.
As expected with a Community Day event, Zorua will spawn in huge numbers with a high chance for it to appear shiny. There are also several other bonuses and perks, which we've listed out below.
As per old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), shiny rates on Community Days are about 1 in 24, which means that if you keep playing throughout the three-hour window, you should find quite a few shiny Pokémon.
If you're short on time or Poké Balls, you can pop an Incense, then quickly tap each Zorua to check for shiny ones, running from any that aren’t shiny. Notably, any Zorua you've already tapped will face where your player is standing, so that should help identify which ones you may have already checked.
If you evolve Zorua into Zoroark from 2-9 p.m. in your local time, it will learn the fast move Sucker Punch.
If you miss out on evolving it during this period, you will likely be able to evolve it during a Community Day weekend event in December to get Sucker Punch.
