Pokémon Go Mega Aggron counters, weaknesses and moveset explained

Mega Aggron is the Mega Evolution of Aggron, introduced during the Test Your Mettle event in Pokémon Go in 2022. Unlike regular Pokémon, Mega Aggron cannot be caught directly; players must defeat it in Mega Raids to gather enough Mega Aggron Energy for its evolution.

To successfully tackle Mega Aggron, understanding its counters and weaknesses is essential. Remember, you need to have an Aggron in your Pokémon storage to initiate its Mega Evolution.

Everything We Know About Aggron

Aggron is a Steel and Rock-type Pokémon from Gen 3, serving as the second evolution in the Aron evolution chain. According to its Pokédex entry, ‘Aggron has a horn sharp enough to perforate thick iron sheets. It brings down its opponents by ramming into them horn first.’

Mega Aggron, on the other hand, is a pure Steel-type, eliminating its double weakness to Fighting-type attacks. Its unique Pokédex entry states: ‘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.’
