|}
Amaura (Japanese: アマルス Amarus) is a dual-type Fossil introduced in Generation VI.
It is revived from a Sail Fossil and evolves into when leveled up at night starting at level 39.
==Biology==
Amaura is a quadrupedal, dinosaurian that resembles a . It is light blue with a white underbelly. It has a long neck, a short, stubby tail, and a single white claw on each hind foot. Above each of its large, deep blue eyes is an iridescent, sail-like structure. Typically, the sails are yellow at the bottom and fade into pink toward the tips. On each side of its body is a dark blue crystal. Pokémon-Amie has demonstrated that its sails can change color with its mood and the crystals on its sides permanently remain at freezing temperatures.
This ancient Pokémon was restored from a Sail Fossil that had been frozen in ice for over 100,000,000 years. However, although Amaura was restored successfully, it is not expected to live long in the heat of the current environment. It calmly lived in cold lands where there were no violent predators like around. As seen in the anime, when Amaura whinnies, auroras appear in the night sky.
From Generation VIII onward, Amaura and its evolved form, , are the only known Pokémon that can have as an Ability.
