[OVERVIEW]
Aggron fits as both a strong wallbreaker and defensive wall in SS PU. Its STAB moves are naturally strong, and it has a fair amount of coverage and utility moves as well. Aggron's raw strength makes Choice Band sets extremely difficult to switch into and allows even uninvested variants to do a fair amount of damage. Aggron's typing makes it a great stop to common Pokemon like Ribombee and Galarian Articuno and grants a Toxic immunity, setting itself apart from other defensive Pokemon with Stealth Rock such as Regirock and Gigalith. However, its typing can hinder it against common Pokemon such as Scrafty and Sandaconda. No reliable recovery makes defensive sets vulnerable to being worn down as well.

[SET COMMENTS]
Aggron is able to threaten most of the tier with its high base power STAB moves. Aqua Tail provides coverage for Palossand and opposing Aggron. Earthquake allows Aggron to hit Sandaconda and evade Rocky Helmet, in addition to hitting opposing Aggron harder. Superpower is an option to hit Ferroseed super effectively and deal more damage than Earthquake to Regirock and Silvally-Steel, but it usually isn't worth it. Choice Band Aggron appreciates pivots such as Whimsicott and Uxie that lure passive Pokemon such as Aromatisse and Audino for it to take advantage of. Pokemon like Passimian and Archeops can exploit Aggron's typing to gain momentum, so it appreciates support from bulky Pokemon such as Sandaconda and Aromatisse. Sandaconda and Uxie also spread paralysis for Aggron.

[SET COMMENTS]
Aggron is great at sponging attacks from Ribombee, Mespirit, and other special attackers with limited coverage. Even without investment, its STAB moves hit hard and keep it from being passive. Protect makes playing around Choice-locked Pokemon like Passimian and Drampa, as well as Future Sight users such as Galarian Articuno when they are paired with Pokemon that can threaten Aggron directly, much easier. Toxic is useful to wear down bulky Pokemon like Palossand and Tangela. Roar can rack up chip damage, especially when paired with Spikes from Froslass or Accelgor. Roar also pairs amazingly with Future Sight users like Galarian Articuno to wallbreak. Wish Aromatisse and Healing Wish Mespirit are great tools to keep Aggron healthy. Knock Off absorbers like Weezing and Silvally-Fairy, which can pivot into Passimian, are very useful too. Fairy-types like Aromatisse and Whimsicott deal with Bulk Up Scrafty, which would otherwise comfortably set up on Aggron, and absorb Knock Off. Aromatisse stands out as a cleric that can switch into Charizard and Scrafty. Pokemon like Charizard and Claydol, which can remove Spikes, assist Aggron in not getting worn down too quickly. Aggron can also opt for a physically defensive set with Body Press instead of Heavy Slam to improve its matchup against Swords Dance Silvally formes and Tsareena.

Aggron is able to threaten most of the tier with its STABs alone with their high base power. Aqua Tail provides coverage for Palossand and opposing Aggron (but Earthquake does this as well? I would rephrase it to just include the relevant Ground-types like Sandaconda). Earthquake allows Aggron to hit Garbodor harder while evading Aftermath and Rocky Helmet. Superpower is an option to hit Regirock and Silvally-Steel harder but usually isn’t worth it (why is Superpower not worth it? I would explain why, either because of its drawback or because these threats are uncommon/hit almost as hard by Aggron's other moves). Adamant nature lets Aggron hit as hard as possible, but Jolly can be useful for outspeeding Timid Alolan Exeggutor (banned mon, if you want to keep the Jolly mention it should be replaced with something else). Choice Band Aggron appreciates pivots such as Whimsicott and Uxie that draw in passive Pokemon such as Aromatisse (not bad but I feel like there are better examples of passive Whimsicott switch-ins, or at least ones that can't threaten Aggron) and Audino for Aggron to freely click against. Heliolisk (probably going to leave so I would replace this, might need to scrap the sentence if there isn't a good replacement) can also draw these Pokemon in, and is able to check Silvally-Water and Basculin. Pokemon like Passimian, Heliolisk, and Archeops can all exploit Aggron's typing to gain momentum so Aggron appreciates the support from bulky Pokemon such as Sandaconda and Aromatisse. Sandaconda and Uxie are also able to spread paralysis for Aggron to have more breathing room.

Aggron is great at sponging attacks from Ribombee, Mespirit, and other special attackers with limited coverage. Even without investment, its STABs hit hard and keep it from being passive. Protect makes playing around choice-locked Pokemon like Passimian and Alolan Exeggutor (banned) easier. Toxic is useful for wearing down bulky Pokemon like Palossand and Tangela. Roar can rack up chip damage, especially when paired with Spikes from Froslass or Garbodor. Wish support from Xatu or Healing Wish Mespirit are great tools for keeping Aggron healthy throughout as it's reliant on Leftovers. Knock Off absorbers like Weezing and Garbodor that can pivot into Passimian are very useful too. Fairy-types like Aromatisse and Whimsicott are able to deal with Bulk Up Scrafty which would otherwise comfortably set up on Aggron and can absorb Knock Off (oddly phrased sentence that makes it sound like Scrafty is absorbing Knock). Aromatisse stands out as a cleric that can switch into Charizard and Heliolisk. Pokemon like Charizard and Claydol that can remove Spikes assist Aggron in not getting worn down too quickly as well. Aggron can also opt for a physically defensive set with Body Press instead of Heavy Slam to better its matchup against Swords Dance Silvally-formes and Tsareena (this should go after the sentence about Roar).

[OVERVIEW]

Aggron fits as both a strong wallbreaker and defensive wall in the SS PU metagame. (you explain why aggron is a good wallbreaker but never do the same about why it's a good defensive wall. in fact, with regard to the defensive set, you mention none of its positives in the overview and only talk about its flaws.) Aggron's raw strength makes Choice Band extremely difficult to switch into. Its STABs are naturally strong and it has a fair amount of coverage and utility moves as well. Though, its typing can hinder it defensively against common Pokemon such as Scrafty and Sandaconda. No reliable recovery makes defensive sets vulnerable to being worn down too.

this overview is really short, and while unnecessarily lengthy intros are certainly bad, weirdly short ones aren't much better. i say "weirdly short" because it feels like there's important detail/elaboration missing and because there are some sentence fragments. the points you bring up, despite often being very quickly stated, are good, though. just add a little bit more here and there and combine some of the fragmented sentences.

qc 1/2! also nice and 1,000th post lol

 

["The Shredder"]

I mean this was written on Jun 6 so of course garbodor was still in the tier (well it was in ZU but now NU), and frosslass was ZU but now NU, so I think just a few changes could make it work out.
