Its Ability

Intimidating Armor

As long as Aggron ex is your Active Pokémon, your opponent's Basic Pokémon can't attack or use any Poké-Powers or Poké-Bodies.

Its attacks

Split Bomb

Choose 2 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage to each of them. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Mega Burn

100

During your next turn, Aggron ex can't use Mega Burn.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    150 HP, and nothing in Crystal Guardians goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Intimidating Armor. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 4. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,392 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  5. Keep in mind

    It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,392 tournament lists we have read, 1,244 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
