I think Substitute+Illusion sets would be effective as lures. Substitute on the switch as the opponent switches in the wrong pokemon to counter you and then promptly eliminate said counter. Almost every pokemon in the game finds a use for substitute, so its presence on Aurumoth will not be any huge giveaway.

Here's the set i was thinking of

Auramoth@ Life Orb
Timid nature
Illusion
100 HP/252 SPA/152 SPE

-Substitute
-Ice Beam
-Bug Buzz
-Thunderbolt

This set is mostly for dealing with Terrakion's checks. Ice Beam for gliscor, Bug Buzz for S;owbro Thunderbolt to round off coverage here is a physical variant

Auramoth@ Life Orb
Naughty nature
Illusion
100 HP/252 ATK/152 SPE

-Substitute
-Megahorn
-Overheat
-Close Combat

This version is more specialized for handling Latios's checks.
