After its initial reveal was bugged, the previously reported issues have now been resolved, and Zorua will appear globally in the wild starting now!

Update November 28th, 2022 - 7PM EST: Trainers, we are temporarily disabling Bluetooth devices like the Poké Ball Plus and Pokémon GO Plus as we investigate an issue with Zorua. We will provide an update when this functionality has been restored. [1]

Zorua and Zoroark have revealed themselves in Pokémon GO!
