How to use Aggron in the current VGC format?

**To use Aggron effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Steel/Rock type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Aggron appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Aggron fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Sturdy, Leftovers and Adamant 32/32/0/0/2/0. Its frequent moves include Heavy Slam, Rock Slide, Protect, Body Press, Head Smash, and High Horsepower. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Aggron has important weaknesses to fighting 4x, ground 4x, water 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Sinistcha, Farigiraf, Whimsicott, Tyranitar-Mega, and Raichu-Mega-Y appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.

MetaVGC tracks recent teams using Aggron. Open the Aggron teams page to compare complete structures, copy Showdown pastes and see how players combine Aggron with other Pokémon in the active format.
