Is Aggron Good in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Playthrough?

Steel/Rock with massive physical Defense. Handles Kahili's Flying E4 with Rock and resists most of Mina's Fairy attacks with Steel. Quad weak to Ground and Fighting limits it against Hapu and Molayne. No Mega Stone, but base Aggron is a physical wall.

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.

USUM Aggron Best Moveset

180 Defense on the base form with Steel/Rock typing. Mega Aggron shifts to pure Steel with AbilityFilter reducing super-effective damage by 25%%, turning 230 Defense into one of the most impenetrable physical profiles available. But 50 Speed acts dead last. The moveset holds D-tier through Mega physical bulk that the base form's 4x weaknesses undercut.

Aggron Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Aggron has a 630 base stat total and ranks as B-Tier: a solid option in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon for the right team. It works best as a wallbreaker. Firepunch with Custapberry is the standard set.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Aggron's biggest threats include Charizard (Fire), Hitmonlee (Fighting), and Swampert (Ground), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Aggron has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.

  • Filter is the go-to ability for Aggron. It decreases damage taken from super-effective moves by 1/4. It's Aggron's only ability.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Aggron fills the wallbreaker role. It's a physical attacker with base 140 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.
