Aurorus Best Nature and Moveset for Story

Modest or Quiet

Nature Stat Changes
Modest ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Attack
Quiet ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Speed

Since Aurorus is a Slow Special Attacker, its best Nature is either Modest or Quiet to boost its Special Attack further, while reducing its Attack or Speed stat respectively.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Mild ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Defense
Rash ↑ Speed, ↓ SpDef

You can also give Aurorus either Mild or Rash nature, if you will mainly use it for Story Content.

Keep in mind that giving Aurorus any of the above two natures will increase the damage it receives, making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Aurorus has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
Mints Locations and How to Change Nature

Best Aurorus Moveset for the Story

Move Type Cooldown
Rock Blast Pokemon Rock Type Icon 6
Ice Beam Pokemon Ice Type Icon 8
Zen Headbutt Pokemon Psychic Type Icon 8
Freeze-Dry Pokemon Ice Type Icon 9

We recommend the moves Ice Beam, Freeze-Dry, Rock Blast, and Zen Headbutt when using Aurorus during the main story.
