Here is the best Pokemon Legends Z-A build for Aggron and its Mega Evolution with the best moveset and nature to use for ranked PvP and PvE.

Aggron is a Steel/Rock-type first introduced in Generation III. Its weakness laden typing, especially with two 4x weaknesses to Ground and Fighting, made its high Defense stat almost redundant. This changed with its Mega Evolution, which in addition to giving it a bulk boost, dropped its Rock-typing to remove those double weaknesses. So let’s see how Aggron performs in the Legends Z-A meta.

Best PvP Aggron Build in Pokemon Legends Z-A For Ranked Matches

While Mega Aggron does not have its ability Filter in Legends Z-A to take less damage from super effective attacks, it remains a solid wall. As a result of losing its Rock-typing it can navigate its weakness to Fighting and Ground a lot better after Mega Evolving.
Still, be wary of switching Mega Aggron into Fire, Fighting, or Ground-types as it will still take super effective damage from moves of these types.
Best Moveset For PvP Aggron in Pokemon Legends Z-A
These are the moves you want to use on your Aggron if you plan on using it in battle.
- Heavy Slam
- Iron Defense
- Roar
- Rock Slide
All of Aggron’s best moves come from its level up learnset. Heavy Slam is the best Steel-type STAB for it at level 52, taking advantage of Mega Aggron’s 870.8 lbs. Iron Defense at level 48 makes it even more obnoxious to deal with if your opponent does not have a special attacker. Roar disrupts opponents by pushing them away as they attack, which Aggron learns at level 12. Finally, Rock Slide at level 24 is useful coverage for Aggron to use and acts as STAB when it has not Mega Evolved yet.
Buy the Aggronite from Quasartico Inc. for 360 Mega Shards.
Best Aggron Nature For PvP in Pokemon Legends Z-A
Go with an Impish (+Def, -SpA) nature. This will make Aggron even stronger on the physical side. You can get an Impish Mint from a vendor in Rouge Sector 1.
Best Team Composition With Aggron For Ranked Matches in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Aggron works well as a part of this team in Ranked Matches:
Aggron and Garchomp work surprisingly well, with the former checking the powerful Xerneas running rampant in the meta and the latter dealing with the Fire-types that Aggron struggles with. As for Starmie, its best for dealing with all three types that Aggron struggles with.
Best PvE Aggron Build in Pokemon Legends Z-A
Aggron is riskier to use in in PvE due to its wide variety of weaknesses. However, it has some great matchups against Rogue Mega Evolutions like Venusaur, Altaria, Mawile, Beedrill, and Tyranitar, where its typing and bulk help it out a lot as it can survive for longer. As for major trainer battles, Mega Aggron is great against Corbeau (just watch out for his Gyarados if you haven’t Mega Evolved Aggron) and Jacinthe.
Best Moveset For PvE Aggron in Pokemon Legends Z-A
Here are the best moves for PvE Aggron in Pokemon Legends Z-A:
- Heavy Slam
- Iron Defense
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
Three of Aggron’s best moves are the same as its PvP moveset. However, this set swaps out Roar for Earthquake as the latter provides vital coverage which is more handy compared to Roar’s utility in Ranked Matches. Teach the move to Aggron with TM069, a reward from Mable for reaching level 34 of her research.
Best Nature For PvE Aggron in Pokemon Legends Z-A
For PvE Aggron, you have a bit more flexibility when it comes to Natures:
- Impish (+Def, -SpA)
- Sassy (+SpD, -Spe)
While Impish still works, a Sassy nature boosts Aggron’s Special Defense, giving it more well-rounded walling capabilities. You can get a Sassy Mint from the same vendor at Rouge Sector 1.
