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 Evolve
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.

Base Stats
Aggron Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Aggron has a 530 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 balanced. Firepunch with Custapberry is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, yes. Mega Aggron hits 630 BST, a solid jump from the base 530. 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 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.
