LOOK AT THIS GUY, its a Sword and Shield, and i LOVE HIM... Aegislash is the most interesting pokemon to have came out in X and Y, and with his special ability making him Interesting to use, but i will focus on how i use him.
Stance change... his own ability and an interesting one, the ability makes him switch stances, from sword to shield and vice versa, depending on the move he uses, if he uses an attacking move he switches to Sword, and when he uses an defensive move (kings shield... but not protect for some reason.... i still haven't figured it out) he goes into Shield Stance... and this is the most IMPORTANT part of Aegis... in Sword his stats go to 50 HP, 150 Attack, 50 Def, 150 Sp. Attack, 150 Sp. def, and 60 Speed... while in Shield... the attacking stats and the Defensive stats change places.
So if you haven't noticed.. this thing has CRAZY high attack but little speed... but the thing is... YOU DON'T WANT SPEED.... AT ALL, the reason being is that with no speed you can switch from shield to Sword stance relatively safely because of your Huge defense in Shield... just remember though... Be safe and never stay in sword mode.... you can easily get one shot.... and if you get confused and hit yourself in sword mode... you just KO'd yourself..
Anyways TO THE REAL PART... Aegislash i run life orb... for more damage... why else... anyways Brave nature to Reduce his speed for more attack. Kings Shield is basically Protect (with the same priority as well) though unlike protect, it doesn't stop Status moves BUT if you get hit by a move that makes contact... you Lower your opponents attack by 2 Stages... thats a Swords dance right there... Swords Dance or Iron head is up to you.. Swords dance if you Want to Super sweep or Iron for More coverage. Sacred sword is the next move cause... it doesn't care about the opponents Boosted defenses... only their original... but if you don't want it and didn't get iron head... get iron head. Last move depends really.... Shadow sneak has Priority and can kill off anything that just managed to survive though if you don't kill with it your going to be in for a world of pain... while Shadow claw lacks priority but makes sure you are 100% safe cause you will be in Shield form before the hit.
