Competitive Pokemon thread

kind of ironic considering it's literally living sword

I know right

>Why do people prefer special Aegislash over physical in VGC format?
Because special Aegislash has no problems with Intimidate and WoW spam.
Also if the trainer feels brave, it can run hp ice for the genies

Because special set laughs in the face of Burn and Intimidate.

not that anon but now I kinda feel silly for breeding my shiny brave aegislash instead of quiet....oh well I still love her desu.

>>27460476
>tfw shiny Aegislash is the coolest looking thing ever

Aegislash is a good design

>>27460476
Physical Aegislash it's perfectly viable, you just have to be a bit more careful than with the special one

>>27460534
Oh well on the positive side, I can easily shift EVs over to Special attack and use that extra bit of strength for shadow sneaking

>>27460508
pssst.... hey kid, want some shiny penta-perfect IV honedges?

>>27460476
Dont worry, physical is still incredible in singles so its not a total waste. Plus, you might catch an opponent off guard when they assume your Aegislash is a special attacker live everyone else's.

>>27460335
Because if you want to run a physical attacker there's no reason to use Aegislash over M Medicham.

Or choice scarf azumarill tbqh

>>27460926
Yeah, but Azumarill can't learn Power Swap

>>27460942
o. I just do doubles with girafarig for power swap set up with shiftry

>>27460887
But senpai...kings shield works almost too well in the maison desu.

Reason I like Aegi is because his typing is nuts and his gimmick is really fun and good

Any Ubers players here? I've been working on some gimmicky cores and was wondering what you guys think of them.
