Illusionmons
Zoroark wanted to see more of himself, and he thought:"hey, why won't I teach every Pokemon how to look like me?!".
And so he did. But now that every Pokemon looks like Zoroark, no Pokemon knows what Pokemon are they facing.
Metagame premise: Normal OU, but every Pokemon gets to "Illusion" a Zoroark, so team preview is just 6 Zoroarks and each side won't know what Pokemon is behind that Zoroark until they it the Pokemon or it uses a Z-move (like normal Illusion). Switching around will reset Illusion, so you have to look at what you did to an uncovered Pokemon to remember it by.
Potential bans and threats:
Basically normal OU threats, it's just that they the threat might be unknowingly facing their check.
However, Pokes with a lot of immunities (Ahem. Shedinja. Ahem) might see a rise in popularity, because the opponent might not realize that you destroyed all checks to it.
Also, Pokemon which will appreciate being attacked will see a rise (Iron Barbs, Weak Armor sweepers, etc.)
Questions for the community:
Q: How will Zoroark itself work in this OM?
A: As if it was to Illusion another Zoroark- nothing.
Q: Does that mean my normal ability get switched to Illusion?
A: No. It's like another ability.
Q: Doesn't that mean that I can set up easily for a sweep, since they might not be prepared for a DD Dnite?
A: Again, you might be facing a Clefable without knowing and you'll lose your sweep.
