Here you have Aurorus, a special attacker that is an Ice/Rock type. I want you to take a second and see where the problem is....done? Good. The problem is that it's a Rock type who's main focus of damage is through special attacks. Rock types have always been physical attackers. There are only three rock type moves that are special: Ancient Power, Rock Gem and Meteor Beam. Fucking three. And Aurorus doesn't even learn Power Gem. Why does Gamefreak keep making Pokémon types that doesn't work with their stats? Physical Electric types, Special fighting types. Those types don't have moves that fucking works. It's either too weak, terrible accuracy, or just straight up bad. The only time those moves are actually good are when they are signature moves, Zekrom Fusion Bolt and Bolt Strike and Keldeo Secret sword. If they are going to make these types of Pokémon, at least make the move decent and a good reason to justify the typing and stats placement.

you weren't supposed to pick this one. you were supposed to get tyrantrum

>>59592219You aren't skilled enough to use this pokemon, junior.

>>59592219Making good pokemon that aren't the usual shillmons might take a moment of attention away from those.

Nah, fuck Power Gem.I want one Aurorus to be a lardass blob while the other is a rounded out puffball of a blimp.
>>59592219Nigga Aurorus's movepool is the absolute LEAST of its problems
>>59592516Saying that the typing + stats is the problem would've been a summoning ritual for Yawnfag and OP didn't want that.But fuck Yawnfag and what he has to say. The stats and typing is what fucks over Aurorus and this is an absolute fact that no wojak or strawmen is able to refute
>>59592227>nerf fairy typeBut all the tr-, I mean, sylveon fans will be very upset.
>>59592219>Special Ice typeI don't see the problem
>>59592219This is my pet dinosaur.
>>59592535Anon, everything is a Yawnfag summoning ritual.Do you really think a competitive thread about an Ice type will go under his notice?
>>59592219The important thing is that it's still a special ice type
Is it even possible for a Rock/Ice type to be good?It would have to be a really fast glass cannon, I imagine.
>>59598128this is the same studio that was surprised when people ran special attacks on aegislash, a mon with equal attack and special attackdo you really think they know enough about their games' battle system to intelligently design mons to work well in it without just giving it really high stats or busted signature moves/abilities
>>59598128>Is it even possible for a Rock/Ice type to be good? You could terastalize it into a different type :) >It would have to be a really fast glass cannon Literally mega froslass minus the rock type
>>59598128Aurorus would be UUBL good if you buffed its BST to something more akin to an OU paradox mon (or just... Archeops). I ran the calcs and this avoids 2HKOs from almost everything that hits it for 2x damage, mainly with leftovers, but it needs +252 hp and the Snow Warning defense boost. It stomachs 2x weaknesses all day, the Fighting and Steel weaknesses are the main sore spots. It could go Modest all out special attacker too, the Blizzards will hit hard as shit and never miss. Really, it's a good Snow Warning user, it just has shit stats and effective BST because it tries to do everything (and sadly needs to, to overcome the obvious handicap)
>>59592219I MUST HAVE STAB ON MY MOST POWERFUL STAT REEEEI CANNOT USE PHYSICAL ATTACKS OR ELSE I WILL BE ADDICTED TO SEMEN!I CANNOT JUST FOREGO SHITTY ROCK TYPE ATTACKS THAT'LL MISS ANYWAY! I MUST HAVE STAB REEEEEENOOOOO ANCIENT POWER DOESN'T COUNT!!Shut the figgety fuck up you cumsnorting turbofaggot. Aurorus is still a great pokemon.
>>59598202tsmtOP has a genuine skill issue
>>59598128Rock and Ice are both really good types on the offensive end and bad on the defensive end.So yes, a glass cannon Rock/Ice type would almost certainly be good, assuming it actually had access to both of its STABs.
Ancient Power should get a 50% boost when used by fossils desu. You get a nice 90 BP option. Maybe raise the PP to 10 though, the omniboost chance doesn't really matter for it.
