Item: Shell Bell
Ability: Sturdy
Nature: Hardy
EVs: 252 Def / 252 Spe
Moveset:
- Sleep Talk
- Endeavor
- Sandstorm / Protect
- Toxic
Aron is an interesting Support. In the dark days before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type. With Sturdy, ohko moves fail when used against Aron. Breed Aron and keep it at Level 1. For this to work properly it's a good idea to setup a Sandstorm ahead of time (preferably with Tyranitar or Hippowdon are favorable choices). The Shell Bell will fully heal Aron each time it attacks hereby resetting it's Sturdy ability for the next OHKO attempt.
♦ Endeavor is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (lowers the target's hp to your Aron's hp).
♦ Sandstorm is a status move (for 5 turns, a sandstorm rages).
♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Aron this turn).
♦ Toxic is a status move (badly poisons the target).
