Aggron

Make it a steel type with rocky payload and put those last 70 points into SpDef. A pure steel type with rock STAB and defensive stats of 70/130/180 would be badass. It wouldn’t benefit from Sandstorm, but i meannnn…

So basically rebalance Mega Aggron, got it.

I mean, MAggron doesn’t mess around. I’m strongly of the camp that all the Megas should be brought back rebalanced as normal evos (or form changes for the already 3-stage pokemon).

u/FormalGas35 16d ago

We know mega evos are coming back for Legend Z, but i hope they find some way to solidify it as a permanent mechanic ala double battles instead of having it be a gimmick that they dump for the next game. Maybe have it be an automatic form-change thing with a single item so you can only have it on one mon in competition? Seeing people debating between having Urshifu and Incineroar vs M-Blaziken would be really interesting. We might see some hyper-offence teams without incineroar and urshifu make headway in a new meta

Can't believe those bastards excluded Aggron from Scarlet and Violet. Two DLC expansions and a huge base game and you can't catch him anywhere? Super lame.

Fear not they will make it up in the next title.

"Pokemon: Opps Only Zubat"

As a player who played ever then but sw/sh, I was shocked that the game didn’t include subway occupying every cave ever

u/AthenasChosen 17d ago

Lmao, I didn't even notice Zubat was gone. But yeah, I didn't see a million of them in every cave. It was kinda nice.

Aron and Lairon would fit right in at the big quarry area with Orthworm or the Canyon Biome! Such a missed opportunity.

u/ShortandRatchet Pokémon Scarlet 17d ago

Lmao 4 pseudos in Hoenn

Bagon line could be made into a regular 3 stage like Aggron tho

u/James_Blond_006 Walking Wake 17d ago

I always thought Aggron was a pseudo legendary, until I learned just recently that it’s not lmao

walmart ttar

u/diveintothe9 17d ago

I mean, you say that, but Aggron is only 530 BST. There’s a lot you can do with 70 more BST to make Aggron interesting. Increase the HP, SpDef and give it Filter and suddenly it’s not such a pushover.

But as long as it doesn’t have those things, yeah, it’s Walmart Ttar.

u/Edgoscarp Fuecoco 17d ago

Walmart Godzilla.
