Moves
========
Thunder lets Aurumoth hit Tornadus-T, Celesteela, and Moltres super effectively, turning it into a very useful breaker against defensive teams. It's also Aurumoth's best option against Kitsunoh. Focus Blast is the preferred option in the last slot to hit Steel- and Dark-types like Heatran, Ferrothorn, Mega Tyranitar, and Weavile.
Set Details
========
The HP and Special Defense investment allows +1 Aurumoth to survive a Fire Blast from Choice Scarf Volkraken. 172 Speed EVs and a Modest nature ensure that Aurumoth outspeeds Ash-Greninja after using Quiver Dance. Alternatively, a Timid nature can be run to outspeed Mega Alakazam after using Quiver Dance. Wiki Berry allows Aurumoth to set up on Pokemon such as Jumbao, Mega Latios, and even Rocky Helmet Tornadus-T while also letting it stay out of range of priority moves.
Usage Tips
========
Aurumoth should take advantage of Grass- and Fighting-types like Tangrowth, Arghonaut, and Mega Medicham to set up and sweep with Quiver Dance. You should aim to keep Stealth Rock off the field, as it quickly wears Aurumoth down and might result in it finding no comfortable opportunities to set up. Against Choice Scarf users such as Kitsunoh and Volkraken, Aurumoth can afford to set up with Quiver Dance a second time if they switch into the first one, as it has the bulk needed to tank a Shadow Strike or Fire Blast. Be wary of Choice Scarf Weavile, though, which can punish Aurumoth for setting up with Punishment. In a pinch, Aurumoth might be able to set up against Pokemon like Tornadus-T if it's at full health, though this is risky, as Z-Move variants can OHKO Aurumoth.
Team Options
========
Aurumoth fits well on bulky offensive and balance builds, but it can even fit on hyper offensive teams. Entry hazard removal from Pokemon like Tornadus-T, Rotom-W, and Tapu Fini is incredibly important when using Aurumoth, as it's quickly worn down by Stealth Rock. Tapu Fini also helps Aurumoth with setting up because its Misty Terrain prevents Aurumoth from being crippled by moves like Thunder Wave and Toxic. Other Psychic-types such as Mega Alakazam and Tapu Lele are useful to weaken Magearna. In return, they benefit from Aurumoth's ability to weaken Celesteela and Kitsunoh. Having a Pokemon such as Magearna or Arghonaut that can take advantage of Choice Scarf Weavile is incredibly important, as it is one of the few Pokemon that is capable of consistently checking Aurumoth offensively. Magearna is also able to support Aurumoth with Volt Switch, while Arghonaut can set Spikes. Aurumoth pairs really well with dual screens Tapu Koko, which can create more opportunities to set up. It also fits on Spikes stacking hyper offensive teams alongside Greninja, as the chip damage can quickly wear its checks down.
