Moves List
The egg pool carries weight here. Barrier and Discharge aren't available any other way for Amaura, and they meaningfully change what it threatens. Stack those on top of Blizzard and Stone Edge for solid options.

It lived in cold areas in ancient times. It’s said that when Amaura whinnies, auroras appear in the night sky.
Amaura was restored successfully, but it’s not expected to live long because of the heat of the current environment.
Amaura Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
At 362 BST, Amaura is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Aurorus before bringing it to any serious fight.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Amaura's biggest threats include Lucario (Fighting), Metagross (Steel), and Milotic (Water), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Lucario is the most dangerous since Fighting moves deal 4x damage. Grass, Ground, and Rock-type attackers are also a problem. With 6 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.
Restore from a fossil at the Fossil Restoration Center on Route 8. Amaura is revived at level 5. Give it Rare Candies or experience-share if you want it ready for the late-game.
Amaura gets Snow Warning and Refrigerate. But Snow Warning is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Snow Warning is the hidden ability. It summons hail that lasts indefinitely upon entering battle. Worth hunting for if you want Amaura to compete at a higher level.
Game Availability
Since X & Y, Amaura has been obtainable in 6 games. A Generation 6 debut means a shorter history, but Amaura has appeared steadily across every generation since.
