It claims an entire mountain as its own. The more wounds it has, the more it has battled, so don’t take it lightly.

Strategy Overview

Mega Aggron is one of the greatest physical tanks ever, capable of checking and countering many top-tier threats. Its Steel typing combined with Filter allows it to check many prominent threats in the metagame, such as Mega Metagross and Mega Altaria lacking Fire Blast. Aggron also has access to great support moves such as Stealth Rock and Thunder Wave. Unfortunately, Aggron lacks reliable recovery outside of Rest, has a poor defensive typing prior to Mega Evolving, and has a large opportunity cost — by using Mega Aggron, you cannot use other, arguably better, Mega Pokemon.
