I can't. It's literally impossible because Aggron is not in the game. Therefore the only way it can ever be paired up with Yamper is in either an online simulator or by praying to the RNG god that a future game will include both. And that's just one possible combo. And that's not even getting into the move exodus which absolutely ruined what little viability my precious Jolteon had...

Move exodus? Ack that's a bit of spoilers I hadn't really heard about. Good to know I guess?

Either way I can understand that. Normally I just run competitively with whatever I feel like and don't worry about using old favorites unless I'm dying to. Like I did include Zoroark in teams a lot because it was a fun gimmick but this just means I get to use a new pokemon instead of resorting to just Zoroark. Plus I do think Showdown is a lot of fun so I wouldn't mind resorting to that.
