Item: Leftovers
Ability: Rock Head
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
EVs: 4 Hp / 252 Atk / 252 Def
Moveset:
- Dragon Claw
- Toxic
- Earthquake
- Roar
Dominating single battles, Aggron is an exceptional Physical Tank. This moveset was created to take a substantial amount of physical hits while dealing some decent damage. Leftovers are always a great recovery option to ensure Aggron last longer regaining it's vitality every turn. With Rock Head, Aggron does not take recoil damage besides struggle/life orb/crash damage. Strong in Def / Atk, but has horrible Speed. The first is, you can Toxic, Roar and poison every Pokemon on their team, and because of his bulky Def, hopefully not lose much Hp. Another way it can be an advantage is if you Roar in something like a Mantric, which your Earthquake will wreck. However, it could just as easily bring in a Gyrados, or Blazikin. Gyrados's Waterfall could OHKO you, and Blazikin's Flamethrower could too. If you somehow survive one turn, you can lay into a Gyrados with Dragon Claw, and Blazikin with Earthquake. A nice Pokemon for a Lead. Bulky Def, nice moveset, lots of choices. This might also can be pretty decent to use for a Trick Room team.
◆ Toxic is a status move (badly poisons the target).
◆ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon).
◆ Roar is a status move (forces the target to switch to a random ally).
