Aggron

Aggron is a Steel/Rock type Pokémon introduced in Generation 3.

Aggron is a large, bipedal, dinosaur-like Pokémon with a steel-plated body. Its head is topped with a pair of curved, pointed horns. It has blue eyes, a large tail, and claws on its hands and feet. It is described as a very territorial Pokemon; it claims an entire mountain as its own.

Aggron appears to be based on various prehistoric creatures, including dinosaurs of the Ceratopsidae family, like the Triceratops, as well as Ankylosaurus, an armored dinosaur.

Aggron has a Mega Evolution, available in Generation 6 games and Pokémon Go. Mega Aggron is pure Steel type, making it the only Mega Evolution to lose a type upon evolving.
