Ice Punch does that and more. Even though Aggron doesn't mind Fairies so much, getting locked into Outrage is never fun and you'd usually need to switch out after using it. Ice Punch also hits many Pokemon super-effectively and has no immunities.
He gets no recoil from Head Smash so Wish support is only required as much as it is for Mega Aggron. It's nice but not necessary.
Ice Punch provides coverage for Ground. (As, Fire Punch takes care of Grass) I think Ice Punch is a better move coverage wise, as it takes care of Ground types who can bother Aggron, but there is a big loss of power when compared to Outrage. If I want to run 2 elemental punches on Aggron I better raise his Attack. My Aggon got 252 in Sdef, 100 in Attack and the rest in HP.
O right, he isn't in mega form, so he can have Rock Head. Whoops
There's Bronzong too, but otherwise I agree that fire Punch is a bit redundant. The only worthwile moves on Assault Vest Aggron are the ones you listed and possibly Dragon Tail, Superpower, Power-up Punch, or maybe even Metal Burst (that counts as an attack I believe). Thunderpunch only hits water types which Aggron shouldn't be staying in on, Aqua Tail hits nothing super-effectively that you don't already cover between Earthquake and Ice Punch, Outrage doesn't hit anything important and has horrible consequences, Shadow Claw has great coverage but is weak and most Ghost and Psychic types are already hit hard by STAB or Earthquake)
Using PuP with AV might be intreresting... But there are probably much better options. Something like PuP, Head Smash, Ice Punch, and Iron Head/EQ. PuP to boost his attack with AV, which could potentially be destructive. Head Smash is there for the ultra powerful STAB attack, Ice Punch for coverage, and then you lose out on a STAB fairy killer or EQ for good coverage... hmm. FMSS anyone?
If you want some power I'd go for 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Sp. Def or for tankiness then 252 HP, 4 Def, 252 Sp. Def, but someone else could probably provide better spreads.
Thanks for the suggestions
What item are you're planning to use?
Aggronite
I have no experience regarding Aggronite but I've seen people using Rest/Talk strategy with full investment in Special Defence, Health and 4 in attack or something similar.
Oh yeah, I forgot about Bronzong. But I doubt that Fire Punch would do an appreciable amount of damage to it anyway, and it certainly doesn't seem worth the trade-off on coverage. Because seriously, Bronzong is annoying no matter what you're running.
Ground coverage > Fighting coverage, IMO. You don't want to be stuck in against something like Jirachi and have your best option be a fairly weak neutral move. What would be a good nature/EV spread for AV, though?
95/73/90 Defenses are fairly respectable, especially down in UU and coupled with its new pure Fairy type. Combine that with Magic Guard, access to reliable recovery that can be passed to its teammates, and a movepool so deep it's a wonder it doesn't drown, Clefable and Mega Aggron are sounding more and more like a really good core down in UU. The only thing that can really stand up to them both is Nidoking, who doesn't appreciate taking EQs himself if you can get him on the switch. His typing unfortunately makes him immune to both of Clefable's most common status moves, but Mega Aggron might be able to tank an Earth Power or two if a few EVs are tossed into Sp. Def.
He definitely is. I remember a Heatran not even doing 50% with Earth Power (before getting OHKO'ed by EQ). I run my Aggron with all EVs in HP and SpD since its ridicolous physical bulk + a 10% nature boost got me covered on the physical side already.
Just throwing an idea out there. I honestly have no clue whether it would be any good or not, and I might give it a test run to find out. PuP is an incredibly low powered attack though, so it might turn out to be worthless. Still, being able to boost AV Aggron's attack would be pretty nice. Then you could throw all your EV's into defense and not have to worry about boosting his attack. If I try it, I'll definitely try it in UU first, where it won't be as hard to get Aggron in. I don't normally mess with UU though, so putting together a team for UU might be kind of a pain since I know almost nothing about the tier.
