>>23372937The concept behind Aurumoth was "high risk, high reward", so they initially gave it a shitty defensive typing and Weak Armor with that idea in mind.
However they also gave it 600 BST, Illusion, No Guard and a movepool that makes Arceus and Mew envy.
Said movepool includes: Quiver Dance, Dragon Dance, Tail Glow, Final Gambit, Trick, Overheat, Surf, Hydro Pump, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Ice Beam, Blizzard, Focus Blast, Psyshock, Psychic, Close Combat, Mega Horn and Bug Buzz.
It was beyond broken with virtully no risk involved and completely dominated Gen 5 CAP. The only reason it's somewhat manageable in Gen 6 is Talonflame's existance, otherwise it would still broken beyond belief.
