How to evolve Amaura into Aurorus in Pokemon Go
As a two-member family, Amaura’s evolution is quite straightforward, as there’s only one step to get through it. However, there’s a tiny catch.
To evolve Amaura into Aurorus, you must feed it 50 Amaura Candy, however, for the evolution process to work it must be triggered during the night.
NIANTICEven when its spawn rate is boosted by events, Amaura is fairly rare in Pokemon Go so make sure to use Pinap Berries before catching one to get double Candy. You can also set it as your Buddy to earn some additional Candy while walking or send your extra Amaura to Professor Willow.
