Aggron stands as one of the strongest wallbreakers PU has to offer thanks to its incredible power that allows it to OHKO a good portion of the tier. Aggron benefits greatly from recent metagame changes, with its best checks, Gastrodon and Ferroseed, rising to OU and NU, which has caused Pokemon like Poliwrath to rise in order to check it. Its typing and bulk allow it to come in on passive Pokemon like Clefairy to fire off its powerful STAB attacks. Aggron's coverage allows it to severely weaken its checks; Ice Punch lets it dent bulky Ground-types like Mudsdale, while Earthquake allows it to KO opposing Steel-types like Probopass. Aggron fits well on bulky offense and balanced builds thanks to its ability to muscle past bulkier foes well so it can support sweepers like Lilligant. However, Aggron is very easy to revenge kill, as it struggles against common Fighting- and Ground-types such as Poliwrath, Gurdurr, and Mudsdale, so teammates like Qwilfish and Mesprit are ideal. Qwilfish can also set up entry hazards, which makes Aggron even more threatening, while Mesprit provides a slow U-turn and Healing Wish support.
