Aggron: Best Moveset, PVP and Item Guide

The world of Pokémon has been a growing phenomenon since 1996, when the first pair of video games came out in stores. There are almost 900 individual Pokémon identified by the PokéDex and in this article, we are going to tell you everything you need to know about one of them – Aggron. Aggron is a dual-type Steel/Rock Pokémon introduced in Generation III of the core game series. It is the final and only evolution of Aaron, a Generation III Pokémon, which evolves into Lairon and then into Aggron, starting at Level 42. Aggron also has a Mega Evolution.

In this article, we are going to tell you all the information you’ll need if you want to breed an Aggron in any of the games. We’re going to focus on both the core games, as well as other popular video games based on the Pokémon franchise.

Best moveset

In the Pokémon GO videogame, the best moves for your Aggron are Iron Tail and Heavy Slam if you’re battling Pokémon in Gyms. Namely, this moveset gives you the highest total DPS and is, likewise, the best moveset for PVP battles. The official description for Iron Tail reveals the following: “The target is slammed with a steel-hard tail. This may also lower the target’s defensive stats”; as for Earthquake, the attack is described as follows: “The user slams into the target with its heavy body. The more the user outweighs the target, the greater the move’s power.”

Other moves that Aggron can learn across other games are:

• Bold indicates a move that gets STAB when used by Aggron
• Italic indicates a move that gets STAB only when used by an evolution of Aggron
• × indicates a move that cannot be used in Generation VIII
