Facts
The ability 'Tundra Wall' on this card makes Aurorus exceptionally defensive, reducing damage from attacks when it has any Grass energy attached. Its 'Freezing Chill' attack can incapacitate opponents for a turn. Aurorus is known for its fossilized origins, being reborn from a revived 100-million-year-old egg, a nod to paleontological discoveries.
