When 50 Candy is fed to an Amaura at night, it evolves into an Aurorus in Pokemon GO. Similarly, you can evolve a Shiny Amaura into a Shiny Aurorus by feeding it Candy. While this is a way to get the Pocket Monster in the game, another involves catching it in the wild.

Since 2022, the Adventure Week event has been introducing different variants of Aurorus, with the regular form introduced in 2021, and the Shiny variant coming to the game in 2022. Boasting a max CP of 2,802 in GO, the Rock and Ice-type Aurorus is an excellent pick to have.

So, if you’re looking forward to getting Aurorus in Pokemon GO and its Shiny form, here’s a detailed guide.

When trying to encounter Aurorus in Pokemon GO, there are no straightforward methods for trainers. Each is equally challenging, and here’s to how to obtain it.

  • Evolution method
  • Catch in the wild
  • Trade

1) Evolution method

You can obtain Amaura in the wild from eggs, by emerging victorious in Amaura raids and by completing research tasks. Once you get your hands on it from either of the given ways, you can then start collecting Candies. With 50 Amaura Candies, you will be able to start the evolution method.

To get Aurorus in Pokemon GO through the evolution process, you have to feed Amaura 50 Candies at night. The upcoming Adventure Week event features Amaura, so there’s the opportunity for participants to get them and collect their Candies.


2) Catch Aurorus in the wild

Aurorus isn’t normally encountered in the wild due to the limitation placed on its availability, as well as it being a rare wild Pocket Monster. However, if trainers play the game strategically, they may be able to come across it by visiting their habitats. Areas experiencing Partly Cloudy and Snowy weather are its natural habitat.

Moreover, the wild spawn rate of Aurorus in Pokemon GO can be boosted with the effects of the Lure Module and Incense. Hence, you can start your monster-hunting adventure by finding the habitual areas that have the most PokeStops.

The final approach to obtaining Aurorus is to trade with your GO friend. If they have the Pocket Monster, it can be wirelessly transferred to your account with this feature.
