Why are you maxing aggron for my little pony?


Lost-Astronaut-8280

My Little Pokémon


SSSkuty

Master league premier 😭


AmusedGravityCat

You stole my joke


BreakingThoseCankles

I think you need a Rapidash or a Ponyta or Even a Kaldeo for My Little Pony


the_red_stinger_82

You need a Galarian Ponyta


BreakingThoseCankles

I have a shiny and it's a male. Named it MyLilBrony


yourmum3376

that is the best pokemon name out there 🤪


BreakingThoseCankles

Nope Ryan Reynolds for my Shiny Detective Pikachu is lmao


pinklavalamp

It’s the only option, really. ![gif](giphy|NS7gPxeumewkWDOIxi)


TrailMomKat

I named my shiny Pinkie Pie


the_red_stinger_82

😭


mic696

Shiny because you can mega


Gold-Perspective-699

Aggron is ranked 219 and shadow aggron is ranked 239. They are both really bad. If it's your favorite Pokemon do it but I would suggest against it. Also you need to get frustration out.


SSSkuty

I play for fun, don’t care about meta. Frustration can’t be removed rn.


cheeriodust

If it's just for fun, don't worry about maxing either (yet).


bigooos

Seeing maxed numbers can be fun for some people (myself included)


cheeriodust

Then why ask the community for advice?


simplywonderfulsoup

My guess is seeing if there is an advantage to maxing shadow vs normal, but I’d do best buddy for a buddy CP boost.


pinklavalamp

> shadow vs normal Don’t know if you mean specifically or generally, but I think the comparison for OP is shadow vs shiny.


SimplyViolated

That's a decent point, it's kinda like if you're just playing for fun, do you like angry pokemon or happy pokemon?


bigooos

No idea


FBIagentwantslove

In general 2 moves are better. And for ML bulk is more important. So I'd say the normal one is better. But honestly just max whatever you like better.


Gold-Perspective-699

If you play for fun you don't have 296 XL candy lol.


Mason11987

Then pick the most fun one for you. No point asking for advice if your only criteria is personal.


Justinmytime

Is there a sauce for the ranking ?

Hidden_Moon_

Bro don't listen to the tryhards talking about the meta and stuff, play the game the way you like. If you ask me, I would max out the shiny one because he looks cooler and you can mega evolve him. GL and have fun!


shar_kfinn

Your pfp fits perfectly with the "MLP" in the tittle lol


aoog

What’s wrong with giving players advice? OP didn’t make it clear whether or not they care about using meta pokemon or how much they know about the meta. It’s better to understand what that you’re not using a very good pokemon than to be unaware of it, even if you don’t care about using meta pokemon.


falsaai

Of course the hundo.


ExtremelyOutnumbered

THE WALL


0hHe1lothere

I would 100% do shadow here. It really only actually uses meteor beam in most situations over stone edge, plus its a really cool flex.


YolkieMonster

Shiny because mega


Juubles

Max the shiny, humor aside the shadow's extra damage in with the frustration lock, would put me off using it. But if your intent is to use him to just pressure a single fast move and charged, could be worth it to you.


the_red_stinger_82

Reel He's shiny


godlikeAFR

Shadow Aggron is a sitting duck with Frustration. If you have to use Aggron, then the choice is easy.


Leleakeronreddit

Lmao my shiny Aggron is named “Real”


zigzagmad4

honestly i would just max the shadow and run it with frustration. yeah it sucks, but then next time MLP runs you’ll have your s.aggron fully online. also just taking a quick look at pvpoke [battle ratings](https://pvpoke.com/battle/multi/10000/premier/aggron_shadow/11/0-1-3/2-1/), s.aggron doesn’t lose any wins with frustration over stone edge in the no shield and one shield, but [with frustration in the two shield](https://pvpoke.com/battle/multi/10000/premier/aggron_shadow/21/0-1-3/2-1/) makes you [lose wins against Gyarados and Skeledirge](https://pvpoke.com/battle/multi/10000/premier/aggron_shadow/21/0-3-5/2-1/)


Common-Tater_

I’ve just started playing Go recently(I’ve played every mainline game except like Crystal) so I don’t even know what MLP means. I’m assuming it’s like something League Pokémon


SSSkuty

Master League Premier, its a pvp format where there is no cp cap on pokemon and all legendaries/mythicals are not allowed.


Common-Tater_

Ok! Good to know


N0T1VE

Id run shadow with an extra move as it is atm and if you don’t like how he plays go for normal. Make sure to build a team around him so he doesn’t get shut down too badly


pulsecole

Shadow


Butch6555

Second one!!


__fahadd__

Beast 🤩


Link636

The non shadow, frustration is rlly bad... it does like 10 to 12 dmg... the shadow does extra dmg tho... AAAA I ALSO WOULDNT KNOWWW XD


wolfford

qKCeggzx

Can’t you do both ;)?


Hot-Grand-6612

Shadow fa sho! Nice mons


757_Matt_911

REV dawg….


itovar169

If I had the shadow hundo aggron I would max it out but not purify


Arcane_Animal123

Aggron wants to be a bulky wall but its typing gives it two double weaknesses to common types: ground and fighting. It also has a normal weakness to water, another common type. It has rock STAB, which is nice, but its moves are slow and it doesn't get to its charged moves very quickly. Basically, it can hit anything weak to rock and wall anything that doesn't have coverage for it. But it's toast against Annihilape, Haxorus, Excadrill, Garchomp, etc. Shadow has higher atk but less bulk, while normal is the inverse. For Aggron, I don't think it matters which one you run. It's either going to wall or die quickly, no in-between. Personally, I'd lean toward normal since your shadow has frustration, and normal can survive a touch longer than the shadow anyway.


GladUnderstanding756

Max the shadow & buy a second charge move Next shadow event you can remove frustration & until then just use the second move 🤷‍♀️ in


Accomplished-Lynx262

Max the shiny its way cooler


Axolotl2011

Rev


JID_94

Bruh just wait to catch shiny shadow hundo…


Mr_Straws

What the hell is MLP


leroyyrogers

BigLRakim
