Aurorus

Like Amaura, it carries the weight of deep time, but where the pre-evolution seems uncertain in the present, Aurorus has settled into a calm authority.. Aurorus is the evolved form of Amaura — a towering Rock/Ice-type fossil Pokémon whose flowing sail-crest aurora displays rival the northern lights in their quiet magnificence. Its arrival on Pokopia Island is one of the more breathtaking moments a player can experience: it moves slowly and deliberately, its aurora crests shifting through blue, green, and violet in a continuous undulating display that casts coloured light on surrounding items and Pokémon

Professor Tangrowth considers Aurorus the crown jewel of his fossil research programme, and has arranged an entire section of his research station specifically to provide the low-temperature, open-sky environment conditions that encourage its extended visits.. Aurorus is drawn to cool, open environments with Water Basin features, Stone Tiling, and a strong Nature sub-score. Its idle animation is the most extended and visually complex of any fossil Pokémon on the island — a full aurora cycle that takes nearly a minute to complete and has been compared by players to watching a slow sunrise
