Shadow Aurorus has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Bulk-leaning spread (163 Defense / 265 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 6 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy and Snow weather — worth timing raids around.
