Talk:Aron (Pokémon)

This "Trivia" piece might be a stretch. You know how similar Aron and Sheildon are? Well, have you guys ever noticed that both their names are very close to human names? As in Aron-Aaron and Shieldon-Sheldon?

This only occurred to me because I'd been mispronouncing Aron's name as Aaron until recently, lol. - unsigned comment from Udivision (talk • contribs) 18:54, 22 February 2009

Trivia

It is pretty obvious that it's English name could have been based on Iron. Should be added to the trivia. ♢ DeadUniverse ^Hello! ♢ 16:40, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Sturdy Sandstorm combo?

Over on the TV Tropes wiki, a user proposed that in Generation V, because the "Sturdy" ability now functions similarly to the Focus Sash, there is a potentially deadly combo:

• Breed an Aron with Sturdy, Endeavor, and equip the Shell Bell on it.
• Create a Sandstorm in battle, then have Aron use Endeavor.
  • If the opponent strikes first, Aron survives because it's Sturdy and has full HP.
  • Endeavor then reduces the opponent to 1 HP; this counts as damage, causing the shell bell to restore Aron's on HP, potentially back to full.
  • The sandstorm finishes the opponent off at end of turn.
  • Possible to rinse and repeat for the remainder of battle.

Can anyone verify this? The obvious counter-tactics appear to be:

• Pokemon immune to Sandstorm
• Swipe moves
• Nullifying either Aron's ability (Mold Breaker, Skill Swap, etc.) or item (Knock Off, Embargo, etc.) prior to attack
