Number 306: Aggron, the iron armor t-rex

[ems97]

Well this T-rex, triceratops, whatever its name has the ability iron defense. I used to have him on my A team but don't know where to put him now. Anyways art belongs to alternative-pokemon-art.tumblr.com.

 

 

2 Level 6 monsters

Once per turn when this card is targeted by an attack: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; gain the DEF equal to its ATK points until the End Phase. If this card is targeted by a card effect, the effects is negated and this card loses 500 DEF points for each card effects target this card.

Once per turn, if this card is targeted for an attack: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; this card gains DEF equal to its ATK until the End Phase. When this card is targeted by a card effect: Negate that effect, and when you do, this card loses 500 DEF.

 

BTW, Iron Defense is a move, not an ability. Aggron's abilities include Sturdy, Rock Head or Heavy Metal.

 

The second effect essentially says no to 101 and other effects that target, so it helps a bit (given you have six uses to block stuff); however stuff like Exciton and BRD do not target, so they will kill it. The first effect ties into it being very bulky (making it a 5800 DEF, reflecting Iron Defense), though it means nothing if this is in attack position (while 2500 is still respectable for a Rank 6 monster, it still gets run over by other choices). I would probably change this effect to make itself go into Defense Position (but giving it 1000 DEF or something). You may want to lower its DEF a bit to 3000.
