Aggron (#306) is a Steel/Rock-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 3,432 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Aggron is a strong competitor in various formats. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Aggron in 2026.
Aggron's Attack stat is 198 (Good). A decent Attack stat that allows Aggron to contribute meaningful damage.
With 257 Defense (Elite) and 172 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 627. This gives Aggron reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Steel-type Pokémon, Aggron's stat distribution favors defense.
The best moveset for Aggron depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Dragon Tail (Fast) with Thunder (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Aggron has 4 Fast Attacks and 5 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Aggron can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Steel/Rock typing provides useful matchups against Poison, Normal, Flying-type threats while being weak to Fighting, Ground, Water types.
In Master League, Aggron faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
Aggron appears as a high-tier Raid Boss. Focus on Fighting, Ground, Water-type counters for maximum damage. With strong counters, 2-3 trainers can defeat it. After the raid, catch Aggron at Level 20 (1,636 - 1,714 CP) or Level 25 with weather boost (2,045 - 2,143 CP). A 100% IV (hundo) will have exactly 1,714 CP.
Aggron can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Snow weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 1km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Aggron is part of a 3-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
Shadow Aggron is available from Team GO Rocket. Shadow Pokémon deal 20% more damage but take 20% more damage, making them excellent glass cannons. Shadow Aggron's effective Attack becomes ~238. For raids, keeping it Shadow is usually better than purifying.
Shiny Aggron is available! Use the Normal/Shiny toggle on this page to preview. The shiny rate is approximately 1 in 500. Shiny variants are cosmetic only — same stats and performance. Check our Shiny Checklist for all available shinies.
Aggron gets a weather boost in Snow weather, increasing wild spawn CP (up to Level 35) and raid catch CP to Level 25 (2,045 - 2,143 CP). The buddy distance is 1km per candy. Very efficient for candy farming.
