Aggron (Mega)
Mega Aggron is a Steel type Mega Raid boss. Best Mega Aggron raid counters include powerful Fire, Fighting, and Ground types, with a mixed range of different counters available to help you defeat it.
Depending on your levels and counters, we would recommend 3-5 trainers who are high level, and more if you don’t have optimal teams. This guide will tell you how to beat this steely Mega, as well as its optimal stats, moves and CP range.
How to Get Mega Aggron
You cannot catch Aggron in its mega evolved form from the raid. The mega raid boss is always catchable in its base form and as such, the CP ranges are for a regular Aggron. Aggron can be caught with the following CP values:
- 1636 – 1714 CP no weather boost
- 2045 – 2143 CP boosted by Snow weather boost
In order to get Mega Aggron you will need 200 Mega Energy for the initial evolution, then 40 Mega Energy to evolve the same Aggron again in the future. If you wait for their ‘cooldown’ period to end, Mega Evolution is free. This cooldown period is shorter the higher mega level your Mega Pokémon is.
Mega Energy can be obtained via Mega Aggron Raids, and once you have evolved Mega Aggron, you can earn 5 Mega Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy. You can walk any Aron, Lairon, or Aggron to earn Mega Energy, as long as you have previously evolved one to register it to your Mega Pokédex.

While Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up, we have included the top Shadow Pokémon you can use against Mega Aggron. Ensure you no longer have Frustration on these Pokémon before considering adding them to your team. If you have any of these as an option, while they may take more damage than non-shadow Pokémon, they will also deal more.
