Aggron question...
Is he worth anything? I havn't been lucky with Metagross so far but just caught a lvl 32 100% Aron in front of my house. Evolved it, got Thunder of course, changed to Heavy Slam and put a little dust into it. Do you use it in a special matchup or is he just good for defense?

Autoselect loves it for a reason. My team of 6 Aggrons works wonders in gyms when in a hurry because of how potion efficient there are. Despite not being the fastest at it, a Dragon Tail/Stone Edge Aggron wrecks havoc on Dragon-types. A single Aggron can take both a maxed Dragonite and a Salamence in a row and still face a third opponent without switching. In fact, that moveset seems to be the most useful right now despite not being SE.
He is outclassed by Metagross, but unless you have 12 of Metagross already I don't see how Aggron can't find a place as it is the second best Steel Type (beating Scizor overall). However I will leave high levelled wild ones (33-35) as it is and never dump dust into it.
I usually put 'team of 12' as a guide as this covers a team of 6 in a raid with your second team coming in immediately without the need for potions. If you slowly get more metagross, the Aggrons will be phased out eventually.
