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, 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. Their face and head is covered in gray 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, teeth-like extrusions, and the nape of its neck and back have gray-colored armor sections. Aggron have pointed black bands on their shoulders, and gray bands on their arms and legs.

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.

Behavior

Aggron are very fierce and aggressive Pokémon. They claim entire mountains as their territory, patrolling it at all time 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. Like many Pokémon (especially Kangaskhan), Aggron are very caring of their young and will defend them with their life.

Habitat

Mountain Pokémon

Aggron live in mountainous habitats and will claim an entire mountain as their territory.

Diet

Trivia

• Despite being part Rock-type, Aggron does not learn any Rock-type moves by leveling up. However, in HeartGold and SoulSilver, it learns Head Smash through breeding.
• Aggron can learn the signature moves of both Cranidos and Shieldon's evolutionary families: Head Smash and Metal Burst, the former by breeding in HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions, and the latter by leveling up.
• Aggron is commonly mistaken as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, due to it being commonly seen as fearsome as a Tyranitar or something of the sort in the anime.

Origin

It may be based on a triceratops (a type of dinosaur). It could also be a steel variant of Rhydon.

Name origin

Aggron's name is a combination of aggressive and iron.

Bossgodora may be a combination of boss and dragon, possibly with a reference to famous kaiju King Ghidorah thrown in the mix.
