Pokemon Go Aggron best PvP moveset
The best moveset players can choose for Aggron in PvP is Dragon Tail as a Fast Move and Meteor Beam as a Charged Move.
Dragon Tail might not benefit from STAB, but it amplifies Aggron’s Steel/Rock coverage while dealing a decent amount of damage for a bit more energy than the other Fast Moves.
As for the Charged Move, Meteor Beam is this Pokemon’s ultimate move thanks to its outstanding damage for a fair amount of energy.
If players can afford a second Charged Move, they can pair this combo with Stone Edge for an extra nuke or Heavy Slam for a cheaper move with still some damage.

Pokemon Go Mega Aggron best PvP moveset
Mega Aggron’s best moveset for PvP consists of Iron Tail as a Fast Move and Meteor Beam as a Charged Move.
Iron Tail is the cheapest Fast Move Mega Aggron has, and it’s the only one that benefits from STAB, so it’s an easy pick.
Despite not having STAB, as mentioned with Aggron, Meteor Beam is the ultimate Charged Move for this creature. It has 140 damage for 100 energy, duplicating Rock Tomb and outpowering Stone Edge.
If you want a second Charged Move, you can go with Heavy Slam for a cheap move with STAB.
Pokemon Go Mega Aggron best Raid moveset
The best moveset players can pick for Mega Aggron in Raid battles is Iron Tail as a Fast Move and Heavy Slam as a Charged Move.
Because of its single Steel type, the best strategy in this case scenario is to play to Mega Aggron’s full strengths and exploit the extra STAB.
Both Iron Tail and Heavy Slam have a nice balance between their output damage and energy costs, so there’s no doubt about it.
