Metal Claw
Rock Tomb
Being the first of a three-stage evolution line doesn't do Aron any favors in PvE, as it's too weak for Raids and Gyms.

Metal Sound

Body Slam
🧸 Little Cup
Aron is a powerful Pokémon for the Little Cup, using its powerful moves to rampage through several meta-relevant targets. Metal Sound grants superior energy gains, letting it use the spammy Body Slam and to bait shields. For heavy damage, Aron relies on the devastating Rock Tomb to eliminate opponents. Typical victims include Vullaby, Shelmet, Skarmory, Igglybuff, Ducklett, Drifloon, Seel, Vulpix, and Umbreon. However, it falls short of beating Deino, Bronzor, and Barboach. A solid pick, and as long as you have some answers for other threats it can't beat, Aron is an asset.
Aron is too weak for any other PvP League.
💎 The best PvP moves for Aron are Metal Sound, Body Slam and Rock Tomb.
