It evolves into Lairon starting at level 32, who evolves into Aggron starting at level 42.
Biology
Physiology
Aron has a body of steel and rock. Although most of Aron's coloration is a metallic shade, its underbelly is a darker black and its eyes are a pale blue. It has a large, steel-clad head, and the steel armor portions cover much of its body. The armor covers it four stubby legs and its back, which has a single spike on it. Throughout Aron's body are small openings in the armor, three on its head, one, the largest, being the opening for its eye, and one on its back below its spike. A new suit of armor is made when it evolves. The old, discarded armor is salvaged as metal for making iron products.

Trivia
- Aron's name is an anagram of Oran; it is the only Pokémon whose name is an anagram of a Berry.
- Aron does not learn any Rock-type moves by leveling up, though it is part Rock. Its whole evolutionary family shares this trait.
- Aron 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.
- In addition, Aron bears an extraordinary physical resemblance to Shieldon.
Origin
Aron may have been based on an armadillo.
Name origin
Aron's name may be a combination of armadillo and iron. Armor may also be a part of its name. Aron's Japanese name can be broken down into 子 ko, child, and Kodora. Kodora is the Japanese name of Aron's evolution, Lairon, hence child Kodora.
In other languages
- German: Stollunior
- French: Galekid - From gallet (pebble) and the English word kid.
- Korean: 가보리 Gabori
