Aurumoth is one of the most threatening sweepers thanks to its extremely diverse movepool, which includes moves like Focus Blast, Thunder, and Blizzard, and ability No Guard, enabling it to run these moves despite their accuracy. Furthermore, its resistances to Fighting, Ground, Psychic, and Grass alongside its bulk create many different situations in which it will be able to sweep. Although Aurumoth has access to other setup moves too, namely Tail Glow and Dragon Dance, it prefers Quiver Dance to consistently clean up against offensive teams and break bulkier teams. However, Aurumoth's typing also leaves it susceptible to all entry hazards, making solid Defog users like Tornadus-T and Rotom-W absolute musts on teams that choose to run Aurumoth. Furthermore, it's quite weak unboosted, but thanks to its wide movepool and the threat of boosting, it can still force many switches. Therefore, Spikes users like Greninja, Ash-Greninja, and Ferrothorn are good choices to capitalize on this.
