Stats & Training

Aggron Weakness
Type-wise, Aggron takes extra damage from Fighting, Ground, and Water. Watch out for Fighting and Ground attacks, those deal 4x damage. Poison moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. 8 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Aggron's physical bulk (base 180 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

How to Get Aggron in Legends: Z-A
Aggron isn't available in the wild in Legends: Z-A. Start by transferring Aron from Ruby, Emerald, or Brilliant Diamond. The evolution path from Aron to Aggron is covered in the steps below.
Aggron Guide
In Legends: Z-A, Aggron has a 530 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Legends: Z-A's meta. It works best as a balanced. Bodypress with Leftovers is the standard set.
Mega Evolution isn't available in Legends: Z-A, but Aggron does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Aggron hits 630 BST.
In Legends: Z-A, Aggron's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), Golem (Ground), and Swampert (Water), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Machamp is the most dangerous since Fighting moves deal 4x damage. Aggron has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Sturdy is the go-to ability for Aggron. It prevents being KOed from full HP, leaving 1 HP instead. Its hidden ability Heavy Metal can work in specific setups. Rock Head is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.
In Legends: Z-A, Aggron fills the balanced role. It's a physical attacker with base 110 Attack. Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's tanky enough to absorb a few hits.
Game Availability
Aggron first appeared in Ruby & Sapphire and spans 15 games across 8 generations. It later gained a Mega form in Generation 6, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
