Aggron (Japanese: ボスゴドラ Bossgodora) is a dual-type Steel/Rock Pokémon.

It evolves from Lairon starting at level 42. It is the final form of Aron.

Biology

Physiology

Aggron are huge, black and gray-silver, monstrous bipedal Pokémon. They stand on their hind legs and may use their arms to attack opponents and pick things up. They have a thick, long, black tail that they can swing at enemies and they have large armor plating on their body and head. They have three claws on each hand and on each foot. Their face and head is covered in gray-silver armor, with the uppermost, pointed plate possessing two pairs of holes on its upper section, with horns protruding from the foremost holes. These horns, which it uses to dig tunnels through bedrock when seeking food, grow a little longer at a time and can be used to determine the individual Aggron’s age. Aggron’s forehead plating extends past their upper jaws in a small point. Like its pre-evolutions, Aggron has sky-blue eyes, and a nostril-like hole on the tip of its upper jaw. On the rim of its mouth are several pointed, fang-like protrusions, and the nape of its neck and back have gray-silver-colored armor sections. Aggron have pointed black bands on their shoulders, and gray-silver bands on their arms and legs. Aggron that have gained gouges from previous battles apparently wear them as mementos, and it is suggested that the wounds do not heal, or do not heal rapidly, as Aggron's Black 2 and White 2 Pokédex entry states that the more wounds it has the more battles it has fought. If the wounds healed quickly or at all, they would not be visible to record these battles for the prolonged time the Pokédex implies. However, the Pokédex may be hinting that Aggron constantly battle and get many wounds in a short period of time, although the former seems more plausible.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Like Steelix, Aggron's only real special ability is its incredible defense, but it does have an imposing 110 base Attack as well. Unlike other Steel-type Pokémon, Fire-type attacks are not super effective on Aggron because it is part Rock-type. Aggron also has many Dragon-like characteristics, and it can learn Dragon-type moves such as Dragon Claw, Dragon Tail, and the rarely seen Dragon Rush.

Behavior

As their name suggests, Aggron are very fierce and aggressive Pokémon. They are also incredibly strong. They claim entire mountains as their territory, patrolling it at all times and mercilessly beating up intruders. The gouges in its armor are apparently worn with pride as mementos from battles. If their environment is damaged by a flood or a forest fire, they will restore the area by bringing in topsoil and planting trees. Aggron have also been reported to burrow through bedrock making tunnels as it searches for iron.

Habitat

Mountain Pokémon

Aggron live in mountainous habitats and will claim an entire mountain as their territory. They also dig tunnels to live in by burrowing through bedrock with its steel horns.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Much like their pre-evolutions, Aggron eat iron.

Trivia

• With Heavy Metal, Aggron is the heaviest non-legendary Pokémon, and both the heaviest Steel-type Pokémon and Rock-type Pokémon.
  • As it is the heaviest Pokémon that can learn it and gets STAB from it, Heavy Slam is most potent with Aggron.

Origin

Based on the fact that it eats the iron, it may draw inspiration from Pulgasari, a monster which eats iron in Korean legend. It may also be based on a Triceratops and various therapods.

Name origin

Aggron may be a combination of aggressive, iron, and don. It may also involve aggro (British slang for aggression).

Bossgodora may be a combination of boss and dragon, or may be a combination of boss and Kodora (Lairon's Japanese name). It may also involve god.

In other languages
