General Chat - Aggron as an attacker

Aron is very common where I reside. Although it’s a rather task finding one with high IV’s. Highest I’ve found so far 86% with good defense. But one of my favorite gen 3.

After doing quite a few Rayquaza raids and mixing up the Battle Squads with Ice Types in Articuno, Lapras, Jynx, Cloyster and Dragonites with Dragon Moves I might take slightly longer to take Rayquaza down with Aggron and Golem but I don’t go through anywhere near as many Pokemon.
My view on Arrgon’s usefulness has shifted so I used a few TM’s changing the moves on the weather boosted Raid Boss Aggron to add to the battle squad. I took the new team of 2 Aggrons and rest Golems for a run today and never had to call upon a second team on my own account. I need another 20 Candy to evolve a 3rd 91% weather boosted Aron caught 4 streets away from where I got the 100% one. I’ll be looking to grind more Arons and hopefully some more good weather boosted ones come up on the Map to further strengthen my squad as well as the other family members accounts.

Thanks for that - got 770 candies, 2,600 Co 100%er, Another 100%er ready to evolve and a weather boosted 96%er. Shall make a call on which to evolve then add them to the squad.

Evolved another good Aggron from a weather boosted 1775CP 100% Larion and took 7 Charge TM’s to get Stone Edge.

Wasted 8 charge TMs changing the move set on Mew Two last week…

did you get the right moveset?

As a Steel type, it’s like 2nd to Metagross and as a Rock type it’s like Rhydon

Haha I love your name! I wish I had that problem. I’ll probably never see a Kangaskhan unless they swap spawns between countries. One can only hope!

Exactly. It’s basically a steel Rhydon.

Well I’m hoping there’s a use for it now…

TDO counter against Rayquaza

What moveset would be best against Rayquaza?

Dragon tail/Stone Edge

Time to find some TMs so… Got a full Steel type moveset

I’ve been hatching a ton of beldum and they’re the most common of the new 10kms, I got super lucky with the 100! It’s not very useful damage wise for any tier 5 raids but it’s not bad at running through gyms.

I have 2 100 Beldums

I have 2 Aggron and I use them as attacker frequently. Maybe they don’t have the attack of Dragonite and Tyranitar, so you might have to do an extra charged attack compared to them. But it got bulk so maybe they can do the same amount of damage, but under a longer time period.
Just have to stay away from Ground and Fighting types.
