Can you save Aurorus, while still keeping it Rock/Ice?

Give it Power Gem and Boomburst.

If you give it a Scarf (or Focus Sash + Rock Polish), it might actually stand a chance.

No, if we're going to do any stat changes, they should all come out of the Attack stat. -20 from there, add 10 to Defense and 10 to Speed. Rock Polish set is now capable of outspeeding Scarfed threats in OU.

Exactly what I was going to post.
58/77/72/99/123 isn't exactly what it needs to survive anything, but, it doesn't survive anything with 123 HP as well.

It does; I was just talking about potential sets you could run. Boomburst and Power Gem would be great for its viability though.

Oh, then I'm setting a Rock Polish set for it. Sadly no Boomburst and Power Gem...

How does that make sense thematically?

IIRC, Hyper Voice, Rock Polish, Thunderbolt/Freeze Dry, and possibly Ancient Power (Base 60 becomes Base 90 after STAB, which is okay, for now anyway).

The dilemma between running Thunderbolt over Freeze Dry mainly comes from whether or not you want to hit Skarmory and some other 'mons for SE damage or not.

You've heard its cry, right? It's a loud, haunting call, which you can justify the move enough with, in my opinion.

I mean, Swellow gets it, right? So what's it matter if a Pokemon that needs it for viability gets it?

Freeze-Dry is STAB and hits Water-types that Thunderbolt would hit for more damage. Hyper Voice already hits Flying-types for SE so really Thunderbolt's the inferior option unless you're trying to hit a Flying-type that resists Ice (like for Skarmory, you can hit it SE with T-bolt, but neutral with Freeze-Dry/Hyper Voice).

>>22674731
Don't forget - it got Earth Power, which may help by giving you a Special EdgeQuake combo. You could forgo Freeze-Dry/T-bolt for it.

Thunderbolt is super effective on Water types, though Freeze Dry is always super effective on Water types alongside everything else Ice is super effective against and it gains STAB since it's an Ice type move. Also unlike Thunderbolt, it can hit Water/Ground types for super effective damage, something only Grass types could do until Freeze Dry came along.

Makes it so you never know Aurorus' weaknesses. Most of the attacks that can hit Inverse Aurorus aren't that common anyways. Only Bravest Bird and Ice Beam would really do anything to it.

hmm, I see. I thought Freeze Dry BP was lower than that. Now, if you get rid of priority and get a free switch in, can a Rock Polish boosted Aurous stand up on its own in UU?

that is way too specific to be good.

if you get rid of priority and manage a free switch in nearly every pokemon can be good.
