How to Get Amaura in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
Amaura is a gift in this game. Pick it up at Rustboro City — no wild encounters or spawn rates to deal with. The details below cover exactly when it becomes available.
Best Locations to Catch Amaura in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
Amaura Guide
At 362 BST, Amaura is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Aurorus before bringing it to any serious fight.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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.
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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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.
Amaura is leaning toward the special side (base 67 Sp. Atk). Speed tells the real story. Base 46 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go.
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.
