Aggron (#306)
UU Tier

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Art:
I like Aggron, It makes me think "Rhydon done right". It's evolutionary path is a bit strange, but it's worth it for that last evolution.
8.0/10

Casual:
Like most steel types, Aggron leans towards the defensive side, it has high defense, and high attack making it pretty good at tanking, but it has low speed making 1 shotting enemies that much more annoying. Still, it learns good amounts of HMs (including Surf rofl)
6.0/10

Competitive:
It's a tank with high defense, but it has 4x weaknesses to Fighting and Ground, both which are commonly physical. Kind of redundant. Sandstorm can try to mitigate it from it's 2x weakness to water, but it's weak special defense might still lead to a OHKO.

Still, it can be a force with it's STAB Head Smash or Stone Edge in the UU tier.

But honestly, I've never used one effectively.
6.5/10

Aggron, it's one of my favorite rock types. 3rd only to Rampardos and Tyranitar. This is a good pokemon in terms of Attack and Defence. Unfortunately that's it's only good stats. Everything else has a base of 70 or lower. With a base Sp. Def. of only 60 a special water move can take it out. Even with the base 180 defence it can fall prey to ground and fighting. Even though you COULD use Aggron in OU it would be hard alot that are in the OU tier have one or the other type and at least Heracross has both. It's better suited for UU play.

*Wonders if Bulbapedia is a Gaia Online white list imaging site*


Anyways, I've honestly never trained one, I have considered it before as it seemed so much more useful than Bastiodon thanks to it's superior offensive capabilities. Though that horrid Fighting and Ground type weakness is very hard to ignore and work around. Magnet Rise is only a viable option if you know that an EQ isn't coming at you the turn this thing switchs in, but as it has absolutely nothing to stop the ever popular Superpower that has migrated onto many movesets nowadays, it's hard to find a spot for this guy on any respectable team, aside from almost guaranteeing a free switch-in for Pokemon such as Gengar.

As a Steel type user, I gotta say that Aggron is one of my favorites. I use him a lot because of his defense and attack, but trouble does come if a water pokemon comes around, so Aggron isnt verry good when using against water types, of course. I personally have never really had a problem with ground and fighting moves, since I double battle a lot I can take out the other pokemon before they can do too much to my Aggron.

Zetshimaru saw this picture (really it is just funny text) in a different guild and thought it would fit in well in this topic.

Picture does have swearing in it.

^ Amazing Picture. I have the sudden urge to train an Aggron and throw it on my UU team.
