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. 9 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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Fighting, Ground |
| 2x (Weak) | Water |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Ice, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark |
| 0.25x (Resist) | Normal, Flying |
| 0x (Immune) | Poison |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks

Aggron Black 2 & White 2 Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, Aggron has a 530 base stat total and ranks as B-Tier: a solid option in Black 2 & White 2 for the right team. It works best as a balanced. Head Smash with Choice Band is the standard set.
Mega Evolution isn't available in Black 2 & White 2, but Aggron does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Aggron hits 630 BST.
In Black 2 & White 2, 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 Black 2 & White 2, 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.
