Want to get your hands on one of the new Pokemon from Black and White? Well you're going to have to move to Japan - for now, at least.

Nintendo has already unveiled Zorua and its evolution Zoroark in the past, but now details have emerged about how Japanese gamers can grab their own dark fox.

Zorua/Zoroark can transform Ditto-style into any other Pokemon and steal their moves - although, unlike Ditto, they don't need to be battling against a specific Pokemon to take another form. They can simply change to any at will.

If you live in Japan, here's how to bag your own. First, you'll need to grab yourself an advance ticket for Pokemon Diamond/Pearl: Zoroark, Ruler of Illusion, the next Pokemon anime film.

For this, you'll be awarded with one of the legendary dog Pokemon from HeartGold/SoulSilver - Raikou, Entei or Suicune.

Once Pokemon Black and White is finally released, simply move your dog Pokemon over to the new game, and Zorua will appear in a battle. Throw that Pokeball and score yourself a sweet-looking critter.

Check out Zorua and Zoroark below, then read up on our wishlist for Black and White.
