The Night-Time Evolution Method
Evolving Amaura is a straightforward process with one special condition inspired by the aurora borealis, which its evolution, Aurorus, is based on. To evolve Amaura, you must level it up to Level 39 or higher during the night.
The definition of 'night' can vary slightly between games, but it generally refers to the in-game time from 8:00 PM to 3:59 AM. If you level up Amaura to level 39 during the day, it will not evolve. You will have to wait until the next level gained during night hours for the evolution to initiate. This unique requirement is shared with other Pokémon like Tyrunt, which has a daytime-specific evolution.
- Amaura evolves into Aurorus.
- Reach Level 39 or higher to trigger the evolution.
- The level-up must occur at night (typically between 8 PM and 3:59 AM in-game time).

Tips for Leveling Up Your Amaura
Getting Amaura to level 39 can be a journey, especially given its Rock/Ice typing, which comes with several common weaknesses like Fighting and Steel. Here are a few tips to make the process smoother:
- Use the Exp. Share: In most modern games, keeping the Exp. Share on allows Amaura to gain experience points even when it doesn't participate in battle, keeping it safe from super-effective hits.
- Choose Your Battles: Target Pokémon that Amaura has a type advantage against, such as Flying, Ground, Grass, or Dragon-types, to gain experience quickly and safely.
- Rare Candy: If you're in a hurry, you can use a Rare Candy to level up Amaura. Just make sure the in-game clock shows it is night-time before you use the candy if Amaura is at level 38 or higher.
Once the conditions are met, you'll witness its transformation into the beautiful and powerful Aurorus, a worthy addition to any team.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I level up Amaura to Level 40 or higher during the day?
Nothing will happen. Amaura will not evolve. The evolution is not missed permanently; you simply need to level it up again during the night for it to evolve into Aurorus.
Does Amaura's evolution method change in different games?
In all core series Pokémon games where Amaura is available (such as Pokémon X and Y, or Sword and Shield's Crown Tundra), the evolution method remains the same: level up to 39 or higher at night. Methods in spin-off games like Pokémon GO may differ and typically rely on a candy system.
