Is Shadow Aggron good in Pokemon GO?

Situational

Power up	Stardust	Candy	XL Candy
Lv 20 → 40	135,000	15	—

Tier B at rank #22 makes Shadow Aggron a useful Rock-type filler rather than an endgame pick. Build one if your Rock bench is thin, but keep the XL Candy for something stronger.

Bulk-leaning spread (257 Defense / 172 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
A second charged move costs 10,000 Dust and 25 Candy, and with 5 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
Its moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy and Snow weather — worth timing raids around.
