Say hello to Aggron, a first-rate Pokémon that excels with Steel and Rock typing! It's a sight to see Aggron out in the 6th generation battlefield.

Item: Chople Berry / Air Balloon
Ability: Sturdy
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
EVs: 92 Hp / 252 Atk / 164 SpD
Moveset:
- Iron Head
- Superpower
- Outrage
- Double-Edge / Return
Aggron thrives as an exceptional Physical Sweeper perfect for single battles. It's goal is to crush rivals using heavy-hitting physical attacks. Air Balloon makes the holder ungrounded, which means Aggron is immune to Ground-type moves until the balloon pops when hit by a damaging move. With Sturdy, if Aggron is at full hp it survives one hit with at least 1 hp. Immune to ohko. With a Chople Berry equipped to it, halves damage taken from a supereffective fighting-type attack then the Chople Berry gets consumed.
◆ Superpower is a physical 120-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Aggron's attack and defense by 1 stage).
◆ Outrage is a physical 120-base power Dragon-type move (lasts 2-3 turns. Confuses your Aggron afterwards).
◆ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 33% recoil).
◆ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness).

Item: Leftovers
Ability: Rock Head
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
EVs: 4 Hp / 252 Atk / 252 Def
Moveset:
- Dragon Claw
- Toxic
- Earthquake
- Roar
Prepare for single battles with Aggron as a wonderful Physical Tank. It tries to take a decent amount of physical hits while dealing some decent damage. Leftovers are always a great recovery option to ensure Aggron last longer regaining it's health 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; Note: Poison types can't miss with Toxic).
◆ 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).
