Trivia

  • Interestingly, Aurora Beam is an almost exclusive move for Water-type Pokémon even though it is an Ice-type move. The only non-Water type Pokémon that are capable of learning the move are Delibird and Cresselia.
  • It is commonly mistaken as the signature move of Suicune, but is learned by many other Pokémon.
