It evolves into Lairon and then into Aggron, a formidable Pokémon known for its immense defensive capabilities. Aron are typically found in mountainous regions, often consuming iron ore, rocks, and even man-made structures like bridges and railway tracks to strengthen their steel bodies. This behavior is crucial for their growth and the hardening of their armor, which they constantly shed and regrow. Despite their intimidating appearance, Aron are generally docile unless provoked or if their territory is threatened. They are known for their resilience and determination, often seen pushing through difficult terrain. In the games, Aron is a popular choice for players looking for a sturdy Pokémon early on, evolving into a powerful tank. In the anime, Aron often appear in episodes set in rocky or industrial areas, showcasing their unique diet and tough nature. Their design, resembling a small, armored creature, has made them a recognizable and beloved part of the Pokémon ecosystem, symbolizing strength and perseverance.
