Step 3Aggron ✓
Aggron Weakness
Type-wise, Aggron takes extra damage from Fire, Fighting, and Ground. Poison moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. 10 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Filter reduces SE moves damage, further improving the defensive spread. Aggron's physical bulk (base 230 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

Aggron Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Aggron has a 630 base stat total and ranks as B-Tier: a solid option in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire for the right team. It works best as a wallbreaker. Metalburst with Focus Sash is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, yes. Mega Aggron hits 730 BST, a solid jump from the base 630. Hold the Mega Stone, trigger it in battle, and it lasts the whole fight. One Mega per team.
