Take on this powerful Steel-type Pokémon with our Mega Aggron Raid Guide.
Mega Aggron is back in Pokémon GO Mega raids fromJuly 22 until August 3. Mega Aggron is one of the stronger Steel-type Raid Attackers in the game and is well worth picking up some Mega Energy for in Raids.
Normal Aggron is also a pretty good Rock-type attacker. So, even though Mega Aggron loses it’s Rock-typing when in the Mega form, you’ll still get an Aggron after the raid that can be useful in multiple different situations.
So, here is everything you need to know to take on Mega Aggron in Pokémon GO.

Best Mega Aggron counters in Pokémon GO:
Mega Aggron has a weakness to three types, Fire, Fighting and Ground. It has a huge amount of resistances, with 11 different types of attacks not being effective against it.
Thankfully Pokémon GO has lots of god Fire, Ground and Fighting-type Pokémon to choose from. This includes some powerful Mega Pokémon.
So, here are the best Mega Aggron counters in Pokémon GO:
Lots of these Pokémon have been available in recent events and raids. Not all of these Pokémon are legendary either. Charmander is readily available all year round, and Mega Charizard was in Mega Raids recently.
Mega Heracross was also in Mega Raids, including a Raid Day, not that long ago either. So, it shouldn’t be too hard to put together a team to take on Mega Aggron and exploit its weaknesses.
If you’re taking on Mega Aggron after Mega Lucario’s debut, this is also a good counter. As it is not technically in the game yet, we haven’t included it in our list for now.
Can Aggron be shiny in Pokémon GO?
Yes, Aggron can be shiny in Pokémon GO. That makes these Raids a great chance to get a Shiny version of Aggron for your collection.
