The Pokémon Company in association with gaming websites IGN and Jeux Video has revealed two new Pokémon: Aurorus and Tyrantrum. Aurorus is a Rock/Ice type and it is the evolved form of Amaura. It can learn the new move Freeze Dry which is an Ice-type move that can freeze opponents but it is super effective against Water-type Pokémon.

To obtain Amaura, players need to restore the Sail Fossil. Tyrunt can be obtained by restoring the Jaw Fossil. Players will need to choose wisely whether they want Tyrunt or Amaura when they pick between the Jaw and Sail Fossil.


Tyrantrum is a Rock/Dragon type and it is the evolved form of Tyrunt. Nothing could stop this Pokémon 100 million years ago, so it behaved like a king! Tyrantrum's greatest weapon is its gargantuan jaws, which can shred thick metal plates as if they were paper.
