Maybe not so much a "Yes!" moment as much as a few "cackling with satisfied and amused glee" moments.
At one point, I bred and raised a very interesting Aggron for online battling:
Aggron@Assault Vest
Rock Head
Careful
252 HP/252 SpDef/4 Atk
Double Edge
Iron Head
Earthquake
Head Smash
What this does, specifically the Nature, EV spread and Item, is make Aggron, a mon notorious for its absolutely dismal special defense, a disturbingly sturdy wall. also, Rock Head+Head Smash is too fun. There have been two notable "gleefully cackling moments" I've had with this Aggron for different reasons.
1) in a singles match, my opponent, aware of Aggron's usual defenses/lack thereof, switches to hard-hitting special attacking water type. Next turn, my opponent strikes with a strong water attack, which is 2X super-effective vs. Aggron, and only shaves off a tiny sliver of Aggron's HP. Speaking with my opponent afterward, they told me their reaction quite literally was "the f--k?"
2) in a doubles match (VGC 14 format on Showdown), this same Aggron was paired with a prankster/safeguard/swagger partner. It knows Head Smash, with Rock Head as its ability. I know it's not a reliable competitive setup, especially with those 4x ground/fighting weaknesses of Aggron's, but this setup is more about the hilarity of derp-smashing the entire enemy team with swagger-boosted no-recoil Head Smash. those matches where it worked, were amusing indeed.
