I've been using SubLiechi RP Aggron in OU for a few battles and I have to say, it's like someone strapped a nuke to SubPetaya Empoleon. It's incredible and will usually tear through two or three Pokemon every match and is very easy to set up. I'll bring it out five turns in and suddenly it's lategame. It's that good.
Nice, I am glad you like it! Once Scarfers and random priority users are eliminated Aggron can easily come in and wreck an entire team. Nice to see other people using it.
What ev spread do you use for sub-liechi rp aggron? I would like to test that sometime.
Its on the OP...but if your to lazy here it is:
It is the simple 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe. Jolly is the preferred nature because it allows you to outrun some scarfers such as Adamant Heracross and Timid (or Naive) Scarftrans. If you want to go Adamant, thats cool because it facilitates a 525 Attack stat once you get the Leichi boost.
Have any of you found Aggron extremely punishing to stall teams? Head Smash wrecks the ForryBliss or SkarmBliss combo, hurts the Rotom appliances badly, and hurts phazers like Vaporeon or Gyarados hard. The only thing it can't get through are Swampert and Hippowdon, which can easily be solved by using Celebi. Also being immmune to Sandstorm (and getting an added benefit) and Toxic Spikes helps a lot.
Speaking of Celebi, lets discuss good team partners. I have already mentioned Zapdos but it went largely unnoticed. To kick it off, I will post a support Celebi set that will help Aggron sweep much easier.
Celebi
Celebi is a great Aggron partner for several reasons.
- Has very good Synergy with Aggron, resisting Ground, Fighting and Water, while Aggron resists Bug, Dark, Ghost, Flying, Ice and Poison(lol).
- Celebi eliminates Bulky Waters and Bulky Grounds via STAB or can wear them down with Leech Seed.
- Lures in Scizor, allowing Aggron to set up easily on a Pursuit or X-Scissor.
Celebi@ Leftovers
Natural Cure
Bold nature (+Defense, -Attack)
252 HP/252 Def/4 SpA
~Thunder Wave
~Leech Seed
~Recover
~Grass Knot
With Celebi's impressive defensive bulk and access to Leech Seed, it can make a fine partner to Aggron. Paralysis helps as it slows down any Scarfers that will ruin your Rock Polish Aggron, and helps allow Band or Life Orb versions to sweep easier. Leech Seed is primarily an annoying move, allowing you to sap HP from your opponent and wears down Bulky Waters and Grounds such as Swampert, Suicune and Vaporeon. Recover is almost critical; it allows you to become even more annoying and keeps your surivability up. Grass Knot is a nice, reliable move to help you wear down those trying to end your Aggron sweep.
The EV's gives you maximum bulk and allows you to survive Tyranitar's Crunches, allowing you to switch Aggron in and do some start your sweep. Celebi will have trouble getting through Heatran and Scizor, so having something to get through both of these is helpful. Infernape is probably your best bet, however, it must be wary of Earth Powers coming from Heatran.

EDIT: Ok, this is important. When using Substitute/Leichi Aggron, it is critical that you do NOT have any EV's in HP, and have an IV of 30 for HP. If you run 4 EV's in HP, you will have an HP stat that is not divisible by four, so the new EV spread is this:
252 Atk/4 SpD/252 Speed
30 HP
Thank you!
