Meet Amaura’s and Tyrunt’s Evolutions Aurorus & Tyrantrum! [UPD1]

[UPD1] A few new pictures added

The evolution for the recently revealed Pokémon Amaura has been leaked by the website Jeux Video. Its name is Aurorus and has a new attack called Freeze-Dry which is super effective against Water-type Pokémon and may freeze opponents! Update: IGN has now released some pictures of Tyrantrum, Tyrunt’s evolution. It can learn Head Smash.

Game Details

In addition to the two new Pokémon, various game outlets got to play Pokémon X & Y and have revealed some small additions to the games.

  • New Kalos Pokémon will not be receiving Mega Evolutions, only Pokémon from generations 1 through 5
  • It’s official, Masuda has confirmed that the overworld will not be in 3D, only battles and some special scenes
  • PokéCenters will now feature an area to customize trainer appearance alongside the medical area and PokéMart
  • Pokémon now gain XP when the wild opponent is captured
  • Professor Sequioa asks you to run an errand at the start of the game: delivering a letter to your mother

Trivia

Amargasaurus

Amaura and its evolution are both probably based on Amargasaurus. The artist of the above picture has depicted it with skin sails similar to the two Pokémon, but recent theories speculate that the rows of spikes probably stood on their own without any connecting tissue.

  1. Amaura Evo

    It’s from a very serious French website, so it’s official.

    His French name is Dragmara, and he’s said to possess the ice-type move
    “Lyophilisation”, which is super effective against water.

    is this real?

  4. Still dunno who to pick! Gah! I think I’ll get Tyrunt, while I normally get “elegant” looking Pokemon for my Team I do sometimes have a “rugged” looking one on the team and Tyrantrum is perfect 😀 X and Y couldn’t come quick enough!!!!

  5. Okay, can we agree on one thing?

    There are no more accidents in this. Game Freak is almost DEFINITELY going to have little updates on Pokemon, like the spontaneous evolutions of Amaura*serebii is reporting it as being called Aurorus* and Tyrantrum from here to release. Maybe nothing more this week, but little things. The timing of this, one for in France, and then here on IGN, is TOO convenient to be a coincidence.

      • I’m actually really happy they have kept the evolutions ‘simple.’ In that, these seem very much like natural progressions in terms of design from the prevos, and not adding on a bunch unnecessary tertiary details to make it represent something else at the same time.

  7. I was hoping the evolutions would help me decide which fossil to pick…but I love both of them!!
    Ah well, can’t decide, guess I’ll flip a coin. Heads for Tyrantrum, Tails for Aurorus.
    *Flips coin*

    …Tyrantrum it is!
