Unlike Pummel, AuraBolt doesn't ignore Defense, but it is useful because its damage is magic, not physical. It's also Pearl-Elemental, which makes it useful against undead as well. And it's fun to perform, since it's the same movement needed for a Hadoken in Street Fighter II.
Given Sabin's base stats, AuraBolt is about twice as powerful as Pummel against a target with 128 Mag.Def at Level 6, and remains more powerful through Level 25, at which point Pummel will overtake it.
