Aggron can combat all its weaknesses because of the large amount of tms it can learn. it can learn a lot of move tutor moves aswell like ice punch, thunder punch, fire punch, dragon pulse and aqua tail.

Answer 1

I might as well put this here, this is fear aron.

AronhaxFTW (Aron) (M) @ Shell Bell

Trait: Sturdy

EVs: none

any nature

• Endeavor

The idea with fear aron is to have a pokemon set up sandstorm, and later Aron comes in, your opponent attacks you and knocks you down to sturdy, or set up a calm mind or something, aron uses endeavor, knocks them down to low enough HP for sandstorm to take them out.
do the same thing on the next pokemon.
Things to watch out for is Steel, ground and rock types along with pokemon with magic guard or magic coat and, none of them will be damaged by sandstorm making this fail.
also watch out for ghosts as endavor does not affect them.

A youtuber called TheFlamingSpade came this i would believe, so the credit goes to him.

2 disadvantages
1 ice type pokemon use hail
2 somoene uses multi hitting move

Answer 2

This is the best possible moveset for Aggron. You could replace Iron Head for Iron Tail, but I wouldn't. Just watch out for Ground and Fighting types. ANother option is to add in Aqua Tail. It has good power, decent accuracy, and it deals with Ground types. You could replace either Iron Head (bad type coverage) or Double-Edge (no type coverage) for it. Here are some other Aggron options, in order from best to worst. However, yours is probably best, Aqua Tail included or not. Movesets:

1. Mega Attacker
   Head Smash: Egg move. High power, STAB, with Rock Head, no Recoil!
   Double-Edge: High power, high accuracy, no recoil with Rock Head.
   Iron Tail: High power, STAB, good chance to lower Defense.
   Earthquake: Obviously.

2. Weaker Mega Offense
   Iron Defense: Raises defense.
   Double-Edge: High power, high accuracy, no recoil with Rock Head.
   Earthquake: Of course.
   Head Smash: High power, STAB, no recoil with Rock Head.

3. Even Weaker Offense
   Sandstorm: Damages the foe and raises Aggron's Sp. Def.
   Earthquake: Yes.
   Double Edge: No recoil with Rock Head, high power, high accuracy.
   Rock Slide: Decent power, STAB, decent accuracy, good chance to cause flinching.

I KNOW, DOESNT AGGRON POWN ALL!! Also, by the way, I noticed on that question "Is this a good Rock and Steel only team, we both put Add Aggron!

---

Yeah, if I ddn't have a Metagross, I would add an Aggron to my team. I used one in Ruby until I got my Metagross.

---

I call Metagross and Aggron Equal. In my Emerald, I alternate between the two.

---

Yeah, but I need a Pokemon tha has a Psychic type attack on my team.

---

Ah, in my HG, I just use Mewtwo
In my Emerald, sometimes I need a psychic type too.

---

Gardevoir is good, but it doesn't have that great of moves until Generation 4.

---

I say metagross is better(no offense swampert)

---

None taken, Metagross is AMAZING, I just like aggron better.

---

Is there an item to go with the mega attacker set? if so tell me

---

This is the best moveset so far.

Answer 3

Gen V

Aggron (M) @ Air Balloon

Trait: Rock Head

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def

Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)

• Head Smash
• Earthquake
• Heavy Slam
• Aqua Tail

Comments

I think you need to take those 4 Ev's off of Hp :p

---

1 HP can be the difference between life and death.

---

Lol, can you not take a joke Trachy?

Answer 4

Head Smash: Why wouldn't someone use this?

Aqua Tail: Type coverage.

Ice Punch: Further type coverage.

Earthquake: Even more type coverage. Powerful move.

You can also replace Head Smash with Stone Edge for a lucky critical hit. Substitute and Focus Punch also causes some damage and makes Aggron hard to take down.

Comments

Never thaught of Substitute.

Comments

That pretty much covered... all of it.

Answer 6

Aggron Adamant nature. EVs: 52 HP / 252 Attack / 204 Speed. Item Choice Band/Leftovers. Ability Rock Head.
204 Speed EVs are important to outrun 75 Base speed pokes and slower who don't invest in Speed.
Obviously when using Choice Band, Stealth Rock is questionable.

Head smash Extremely powerful move, stab plus no recoil thanks to rock head.

Aqua Tail hits Ground-types for solid damage.

Earthquake hits Steel-types that Aggron might have trouble with and has pretty good coverage.

Heavy Slam/Stealth Rock Heavy Slam is a nice secondary STAB move, and if your team lacks a Steath Rocks supporters, Aggron can reliably set up his hazards..

Comments

even with this  set aggron will still be out ruuuuuuuun

---

Why Speed? thats just stupid. the 50 base speed normal and mega wont help because any pokemon with 75 base speed- wouldnt be having evs on speed. Defense would be better :d (my opinion)

Answer 7

Gen V Set for Lairon

Lairon (M) @ Eviolite

Trait: Sturdy

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef

Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)

• Metal Burst
• Toxic
• Magnet Rise
• Mud-Slap

Comments

Wasn't this question for aggrons...

Answer 8

Aggron (M) @ Leftovers

Role: Hax Sweeper

Trait: Rock Head

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

• Thunder Wave
• Iron Head
• Head Smash
• Earthquake

---

Thunder Wave lets him out speed for a Powerful Flinch Chance Iron Head, While having Head Smash for painful STAB, and Earthquake for great coverage.

Answer 9

Here is an awesome one

Aggron (252 Attack EVs,252 Defense EVs,4 HP EVs)

Moves:-
Double Edge
Head Smash (STAB)
Earthquake
Iron Head (STAB)

Use the ability Rock Head to prevent recoil damage due to Double Edge and Head Smash

Focus Sash gives it the Sturdy effect.

It's like having 2 abilities in one.

(PS- Watch out for Ground type attacks)

Comments

anyone got a good moveset for aggron lvl 100 defence 420 something and 280 attack and 120 something speed? oh and ability is sturdy

Answer 10

I FINALLEH GOT AN AGGRON!!!!!!
Anyways, this is what I gave him.

Sh**Brick (Aggron)(M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
-Autotomize- He needs this, raises his speed to where he might be able to sweep, maybe...
-Head Smash- STAB and its basically the best move ever with Rock Head.
-Earthquake- Why not?
-Brick Break- Coverage

So basically, if there's a pokemon with a Water, Fighting, or Ground type move, you can kiss your iron dinosaur behind goodbye.

Answer 11

Aggron (M) @ Aggronite
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Dragon Tail
- Iron Head
- Earthquake

Answer 12

I'm not sure this squeezes everything out of this build but this is my Mega Aggron offensive tank which can take quite a beating.

Aggron (M) @ Aggronite
Ability: Any (Mega Aggron's Filter trumps them all)
EVs: 200 HP / 56 Att / 252 SDef
Careful Nature
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Heavy Slam
- Power-Up Punch
Start by buffing his attack and damaging the opponent with Power-Up Punch. Mega Aggron will come last in most any fight so you plan ahead so that you can Rest up his HP on the turn his hp is brought down to a 1 hit KO amount. Rest is also there to remove any pesky status effects the opponent tries to bring him down with. Now once he's asleep Mega Aggron needs to survive three attacks in order to rest up again. So now your either in a good position to Sleep Talk for those next two turns or your opponent hits like a truck and your forced to either swap him out for something that can better deal with it. Or hope and pray Sleep Talk triggers an attacking move and does enough damage to remove that threat. Bring him in with his def and sp def boosted via baton pass and he'll be even more impossible to bring down.

Answer 13

Dang, surprised this set wasn't even posted yet.

Aggron @ Aggronite

Ability: Sturdy --> Filter
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Autotomize
- Iron Head
- Façade/Stone Edge
- Earthquake

With 252 Speed, you can basically outspeed almost everything in OU barring Choice Scarf and priority after an Automize, which isn't that hard to get up considering Aggrons bulk and access to Sturdy when not mega evolved. Iron Head is STAB with the nice flinch change, Façade laughs at people trying to TWave or WillO, and Earthquake is nice coverage.

Comments

FACADE?! I'd rather go Stone Edge.

Answer 14

Aagron @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk, 128 Spd, 128 HP
Jolly Nature
-Automize
-Iron Head
-Aqua Tail / Aerial Ace / Ice Punch
-Eathquake / Rock Slide

Start out with a Automize. Sturdy will save you and get off the Weakness Policy. Then Strike away like no tomorrow!
Mainly to sweep, but watch out for anything with priority, like Talonflame.

~Minty Aagron

Answer 15

Aggron
item:agronite/rocky helmet
nature:impish
ability:rock head
EV's:252 def,252 atk,4 hp
-head smash-150 power+STAB with no let-up
-iron defence-to make him even more defensive
-iron head-good STAB also a 30% chance to make the Pokemon flinch
-thunder wave-to not only slow your opponent down but sometimes they can't atk .Also with iron head you've got a para-flinch combo.

dragon tail,swagger,earthquake,toxic,sandstorm,ice punch,fire punch,thunder punch,aqua tail,outrage and heavy slam are also good choices.

Answer 16

Just a crazy idea I had, IDEK

Aggron (Super Tank)
Item: Iron Ball
Ability: Heavy Metal
Nature: Brave (+Atk. -Spd.)
IV's: 31 Attack 31 Defense 31 Sp. Def 31 HP 0 Spd. (You'll see in a sec)
EV's: 200 Atk. 200 Def. 108 HP
Moveset:
Heavy Slam
Gyro Ball
Protect
Stone Edge

This set is meant to take advantage of the fact that Aggron is a slow heavyweight. The Iron Ball is there to boost Heavy Slam and Gyro Ball, Stone Edge to hit anything else, and Protect in case of Grass Knot.

Comments

Grass knot is extremely uncommon. Also only put the IV's you changed, not the 31 IV's. Also everyone knows about Gyro Ball doing more damage the bigger the speed gap compared to the opponent. The EV's look a bit weird but apart from that, this set is fairly good.

Answer 17

Aggron (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Automize
- Head Smash
- Double Edge
- Earthquake

Answer 18

Aggron is my second favorite!

Aggron @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
Nature: Adamant
Iron Head - Flinches, STAB.
Head Smash - Powerful STAB.
Ice Punch - Covers this guys greatest weakness; ground. Also covers grass, dragon and flying.
Earthquake - Too obvious.

Comments

Who is your first favorite then? You shouldn't post something like that if you don't say who your favoritest( pardon the grammar!) is, don't ya think?

Answer 19

Ability: Heavy Metal
EVs: Max Atk and Def
Item: Muscle Band
Moves: Heavy Slam (STAB)
Stone Edge/Rock Slide (STAB)
Magnet Rise (Eliminate a major weakness)
Earthquake (You know why, don't play that game)

Answer 20

Eviolite Larion

Skeletor (Lairon) (M) @ Eviolite
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 124 Atk / 132 Def / 252 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Shadow Claw
- Iron Defense
- Stone Edge

Earthquake- Obvious.
Shadow Claw- Coverage.
Stone Edge- Also Obvious.
Iron Defense- Extra bulk.
