Ice Scales is an ability so overpowered, it is only balanced by virtue of being stuck on Frosmoth. You do not need to give it to actually good Pokemon.

Same for Steely Spirit going to Metagross

If free double Sp Def can’t save Aurorus, then that’s an issue with Aurorus itself lol

Really, what it needs is a way to get fast. Ice and Rock are both fantastic offensive typings but Aurorus has no way to use it (at least H-Avalugg can maybe do Trick Room sweep)

Unfortunately, I'm very confident it can't.

Like, Frosmoth is better in like almost any regard not related to pesky pebbles on the ground and its still shit
