Verdict
Situational
Shadow Aggron is a solid but not elite Rock-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#21) in raid performance. With a max CP of 3,391 and base stats of 198/257/172, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Rock-type counters. The best moveset is Smack Down paired with Meteor Beam. Consider investing if you need a Rock-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
