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

Biology

Physiology

Aggron resemble huge black and grey lizards. They stand on their hind legs and use their arms to attack opponents and pick things up. They have a thick long black tail they they can swing at enemies and have large armour plating on their body. Their heads are compleatly covered in plating. They have huge horns coming out of the top of their heads. Their jaws sit underneath their skulls which are have a long plate going above their heads to protect them, it on that plate the horns come out of. Their jaws are small and pointy. They have a point on either side and they top jaw ends with a point coming down covering the bottom jaw at the front.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Like Steelix, Aggron's only real special ability is its incredible defense. And unlike other steel Pokémon, Fire Attacks are not super effective on them because they are part rock.

Behavior

Aggron are very protective of their territory. They are strong and large and behave in several different ways. The first way in which their behavior can be seen is with their territory. Aggron will claim huge areas of land as its territory. Then it will patrol it day and night to make sure no unwanted Pokémon come marching. If a Pokémon is foolish or arrogent to march into an Aggron's territory, Aggron will fight as hard as it can to defeat the intruder or drive it out. Another different behavior seen in Aggron is they are very caring. If their territory is damaged by a flood or a forest fire they will take trees and plants to fix everything, making it nice again. Finally Aggron, like many Pokémon ( Especially Kangaskhan ) take care of their young. Aggron will defend their baby Arons with their life to make sure they survive.

Habitat

Aggron will claim an entire mountain as its territory. Aggron will patrol their territory day and night to watch for intruders. It will attack any intruders found with its full strength. Aggron is suprisingly caring. If a landslide or fire destroys its habitat, it will carry in topsoil and plant trees to restore the beauty of the mountain.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Much like its pre-evolutions, Aggron eat iron.

In the anime

Aggron's first major appearance in A Hole Lotta Trouble, under the ownership of Steven Stone. The Iron Armor Pokémon was used to send Team Rocket flying.

Aggron also made a cameo in Jirachi: Wishmaker. Brendan was using it in a double battle alongside a Shiftry.

An Aggron sent a Skarmory to kidnap an Azumarill to sing for him and his children in Pikachu's Summer Festival.

Tyson's Sceptile defeated an Aggron belonging to a man named Johnny in Shocks and Bonds.

Jessie and James were given a Charizard and Aggron in Grating Spaces. The two Pokémon were used to battle Ash's Donphan and Brock's Steelix.
