Answer

Ruling: Kha'Zix's ability does not trigger because the Recruit token is created before combat begins. Eye of the Herald's "When I move" trigger resolves completely before combat designations are assigned, so by the time Kha'Zix checks whether an enemy unit is alone, the Recruit token already exists at the battlefield.

Sequence:

  • The enemy unit with Eye of the Herald moves to the battlefield
  • Eye of the Herald's move trigger goes on the chain and resolves, creating the Recruit token
  • The chain empties and combat begins
  • Combat designations (Attacker/Defender) are assigned
  • Kha'Zix checks his trigger condition, but the enemy is no longer alone
  • Kha'Zix's ability does not trigger
