Everything we know about Aggron

Aggron is a Steel and Rock-type Pokémon from Gen 3, and is the second evolution in the Aron evolution chain.

According to the official Pokédex entry, 'Aggron has a horn sharp enough to perforate thick iron sheets. It brings down its opponents by ramming into them horn first. Long ago, there was a king who wore a helmet meant to resemble the head of an Aggron. He was trying to channel the Pokémon’s strength.'

Mega Aggron, meanwhile, is a pure Steel-type, dropping the double weakness to fighting in the process.

It also sounds a little more aggresive, according to its own unique Pokédex entry: 'Aggron is protective of its environment. If its mountain is ravaged by a landslide or a fire, this Pokémon will haul topsoil to the area, plant trees, and beautifully restore its own territory.'

Good luck defeating Mega Aggron in Pokémon Go!
