Rock/Steel would be good on a fast offensive mon.

Sadly Aggron isn’t either of those.

Are you actually retarded? Of course it gets demolished by Fighting Type moves in competitive, but have you ever used Aggron in a Playthrough? Rock/Steel quad resists Normal Type Attacks. Do you even comprehend how satisfying it is when your Opponent uses Bodycheck/Explode/Selfdestruct and you only get like 3 Damage or so? Those moments are the best shit, I never laughed so hard while playing pokemon before.

At least aggron has plenty of resistances and immunities

Did you miss how good Stakataka was in VGC? No part-Steel type combo can be the worst. The worst would have to be some combination of Ice, Bug, Rock, and Grass.

Rock/bug and rock/grass are surprisingly good type combos without much weaknesses

Cant say the same for the rest though

Aggron is not fast, but it is offensive because of Head Smash and Rock Head.

the point is you have multiple 4x weaknesses because rock is just a shittier version of steel
steel/ ice is terrible for the same reason

this, 6 weaknesses
2 x4 weaknesses in fire and flying, very common offensive types
and it's garbage offensive wise

the main problem of rock/steel is how every decent physical pokemon can learn earthquake

Jesus, Ice really needs at least 2 more resistances. Water and... Ground? Electric? Flying?

Explain to me how this is worse than something like ice/rock.

6 weaknesses isn't even the worst a Pokémon can have, grass/dark has 7 for that matter.

Water and Flying make the most thematic sense. Dragon would've made sense prior to Fairy but now I think it's pretty balanced offensively.

Water (dump water on a glacier and the glacier gets bigger), Ground (frozen earth is harder to work with), and Flying (cold weather can prevent aircraft from taking off) for that land/sea/sky trifecta.

it's about as bad defensively, but it's miles better offensively
ice stab for grass, dragons, ground and flying + rock stab for fire, flying, ice and bug
that typing for a fast sweeper and not a slow piece of shit like aurorus would make a good pokemon

Grass/bug is only terrible offensively and pretty bad defensively but it still has a niche being immune to spore moves and resisting ground which is a great offensive type
It has utility, something that rock/ice doesn't

Simply because of engine care and handling, planes have the best performance in the winter due to sense, cold air.
t. Pilot
However birds on the other hand fly south for the winter, which makes flying a good choice for a resistance

IDK what it is, but it has to have Ice type in it. Ice Grass is my guess.

My boy Aggron has more then his fair share of weaknesses but a lack of offensive power is not one of them. Stab Head Smash with no recoil alone gives most thing pause if not outright shit themselves, then you got Stab Heavy Slam on an incredibly heavy mon. Round that out with whatever you like, I fully expect Body Press to be added letting him use his titanic DEF stat, and then maybe earthquake or something for the last one. After that its just a matter of getting him in and stomaching a hit before he trades 2-1

Yeah, but grass/ice at least gets the benefit of spore/seed immunity. And bug/ice loses half of its HP to sneaky pebbles.
