If you're familiar with Agnaktor's moves and how to avoid them, then a Switch Axe is an excellent weapon to bring to the Fire-Pike Wyvern. I personally do so simply because the Switch Axe is my best weapon. It was hard at first, but I quickly learned how to best avoid every one of his attacks.

The SnS is just about the perfect weapon for Agnaktor, though, especially if you have the Sea Striker (Ceadeus SnS). If you don't have that, then the Royal Ludroth Claw will also do, I suppose. Although, really, any SnS regardless of Element is going to be a big help for Agnaktor. All you'd really have to do is avoid the fire-beams and you can block everything else (including his roars!). Just try not to do TOO much blocking unless you have the GUARD skill, since he can wear you down. The shield comes in handy, but don't try to tank with it.

Another reason SnS would be great is because you can go for a more item-oriented hunting style, too. Bring a pitfall trap, and materials for two more. And lots of Large Barrel-Bomb+'s to blow the sh** out of him while he's caught. After all, there's no kill like Over-Kill!
