Aggron is a merciless streel-horned and armored Pokémon that was introduced in the third generation games. It is the third and final form in Aron's evolutionary line.

Information

Aggron evolves from Lairon at Level 42. It is known for being very protective of its environment. They claim entire mountains as their territories and mercilessly beat up anything that violates their environment. Aggron vigilantly patrol their areas at all times and if the mountain is ravaged by a landslide or fire, they will then hurl topsoil to the area and plant trees to restore the area to beauty. An Aggron also has steel horns that it uses to dig tunnels through bedrock while searching for iron to use as food. The horns grow slowly and can be examined to determine an Aggron's age. Most Aggron also bear gouges in their armor as prizes from past battles.

Jessie and James temporarily used an Aggron at one point in the Battle Frontier series, and Paul also used an Aggron during the Lily of the Valley Conference at the end of the Sinnoh series. They have additionally made various minor appearances, both as enraged wild Pokémon and as powerful Pokémon belonging to trainers such as Conway.
