Aurorus's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Aurorus PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

While Aurorus doesn't have too high of an ATK, it does have a good moveset in both its typings. As a result, you may use it in low tier Raids, although it is strongly recommended to keep it away from challenging Raid battles.

⚔️ Raids

Aurorus’ Rock-type damage output is on the level of regular Aerodactyl, making it overall underwhelming.

It is quite good in the Ice-type department, particularly against lower tier Dragon/Flying Raid Bosses. It hits with damage figures around the level of Cetitan, which isn't too high but still good enough for up to Tier 3 Raids.

🛡️ Gyms

Rock/Ice is a terrible defensive typing, suffering from two double weaknesses and four other weaknesses. Aurorus is not the Gym defender you're looking for!

Aurorus PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Aurorus is a classic example of a Pokémon that overcomes its weaknesses to establish a dominant run thanks to its supreme attacks and coverage. You can never go wrong with Ice and Rock (Steel types punish you, though), with Bug, Ground, Flying, and Dragons getting slayed easily. It also beats Galarian Corsola, Lickilicky, and Corviknight (which are super impressive), and ultimately falls to Steel, Water, and Fighting types. It's definitely a match-winning Pokémon in this format!

🟡 Ultra League

Aurorus uses the same perks even in the Ultra League to cement itself as a superb addition to your team. It again beats Corviknight, Dragons (including Giratina Altered), Ghosts like Trevenant, Drifblim, Gourgeist (Super), Shadow Drapion, and even Cresselia. It is arguably the best Rock type in the Ultra League. That said, Walrein and Alolan Ninetales outperform Aurorus in the Ice-type role.
