Pokemon GO has its fair share of tough Pokemon, primarily when used as a Raid Boss. Aggron, one of the heftier options, is usually seen as a Tier 3 and Tier 4 Pokemon GO Raid Boss with a CP at around 8,604. Aggron is known for its high defense, being both a Steel and Rock-type Pokemon, so many trainers will have difficulty if they aren’t prepared. Luckily, gamers can choose a couple of different options, so for fans needing a little help against a boss, or their friend using a tough Pokemon, here are the best movesets and counters for Aggron in Pokemon GO.
Aggron Pokemon GO Guide
Aggron Moves
Before heading into battle, trainers should know what they are up against. In terms of quick moves, Aggron can either use Dragon Tail, Iron Tail, or Smack Down. Smack Down is a Rock Type move that is good against Flying, Bug, Fire, and Ice-type Pokemon. Iron Tail is a Steel-type move strong against Rock, Ice, and Fairy-type Pokemon. Lastly, Dragon Tail is a Dragon-Type move strong against other Dragon-Type Pokemon in Pokemon GO.
For Aggron’s main move, Aggron can use either Stone Edge, Thunder, Heavy Slam, or Rock Tomb. Stone Edge is a Rock-type move that is effective against Flying, Bug, Fire, and Ice-type Pokemon. Thunder is an electric move that is strong against Flying and Water-type Pokemon. Heavy Slam is a strong Steel-type move against Rock, Ice, and Fairy-type Pokemon. Lastly, Rock Tomb is another Rock move that is good against Flying, Bug, Fire, and Ice-type Pokemon.
There is also the possibility that Aggron can use Frustration if it’s a Shadow Pokemon in Pokemon Go and Return once it is purified. Both Frustration and Return are normal type moves with no special type advantage. However, this won’t happen to trainers too frequently, but in this Aggron Pokemon GO Guide, be aware of that chance.
