Aurorus is the evolved form of Amaura. It is a Rock and Ice-type fossil Pokemon known for its long sauropod-inspired design, aurora-like sails and ability to use freezing air in battle.
Competitive Overview
Aurorus can be useful as a special attacker, weather support Pokemon or wallbreaker thanks to its high HP, solid Special Attack, access to Ice and Rock coverage and abilities like Refrigerate and Snow Warning.
