Aggron are very large, very defensive terrestrial omnivores. Aggron young, hereafter referred to as Aron, live largely in cave ecosystems. They have very large eyes for their build and are most often found hiding in crevices. They lack the offensive capability of their older counterparts. As the Aron grow, the juvenile state is called Lairon. Though Lairon share the same susceptibility to attacks from more advanced elemental Pokemon, their hide has greatly thickened, even growing sail like forms on its back to appear larger and more of a threat. Lairon are most frequently spotted in the open air caves that often surround the regional Pokemon Leagues. A full grown Aggron is a sight to behold, and an extremely rare one at that. Aggrons in the age of Pokemon training are generally only seen under a trainer's command, they were once thought of as demons and any full grown specimen was tracked and hunted. Aggron is thought to be the modern relative of the extinct Bastiodon. Geodudes, an unfortunately abundant species often use large Pokemon as a means of transport, Aggron is no exception. A Golem mother can yield a clutch of nearly 50 young Geodudes, many trainers have stepped on young Geodudes thinking them no different than rocks. Durants are just big ants made of metal and are mean to everyone.
I can totally see how the Geodude line would play out now.
Graveler: As Geodude grows, its body becomes larger and more spherical. While its developing inner arms are no longer entirely vestigial, they are still smaller than its outer arms, and are kept tucked in to protect its soft throat and underbelly. When threatened, Graveler can inflate its throat so quickly that its inner arms will fly outward and knock away unsuspecting predators. This makes it possible to fend itself while carrying large objects with its outer arms. Although its still-developing hind legs make it clumsy and prone to injury, Graveler cares little for its own preservation, and will even resort to shedding its own appendages if the former self-defense mechanism is not enough. It is not uncommon for wild Gravelers to be missing three to four of their appendages at a given time. Some sources have even reported that Gravelers tend to benefit from losing all six limbs at once, allowing them to roll down mountains at breakneck speeds in search of food. Any creature unfortunate enough to be in the way of a rolling Graveler becomes stuck on its jagged, warty exterior and mopped up by its long, prehensile tongue, long enough to reach its own back, and strong enough to absorb the crushing weight of its own body rolling over it.
Golem: Golems do not occur in the wild, as they are the result of a trainer taking their Graveler to a new region. The result is a radical shift in physique. Golem's outer "shell" is actually composed of its outer arms; its immense fingers have clenched over its rotund body so tightly that they've fused together over the body to protect its soft throat and underbelly like a sort of protective cage. The humungous warts on its back and outer arms, which seem almost mineral-like in composition, are cast off when it sheds its skin roughly once a year. Becoming even more careless about its own well-being than when it was a Graveler, Golem will initiate an incredibly life-risking self-defense mechanism if threatened. Inflating its throat and underbelly while forcefully pulling the two "shell-arms" outward, it eventually will eventually pull itself apart with so much force that the ensuing, gory explosion will often kill the attacker if not critically injure them.
I'm no Arvalis at this stuff, that's just my take on how it would be.

Starting to see a trend with the Bug-Types. Lol
