What does shields down actually do? Lower your defense?
I love honedge too!
>>27500906
as far as we can tell it just changes form. presumably a shields down aegislash would become shieldless
>>27500906
It seems like it changes your stats specifically for that Pokémon, kind of like Stance Change. The Pokémon website that it becomes less defensive but better at attacking and faster.

So aegislash with shields down just has no shield whatsoever? Seems kinda glass cannonish.
>>27500981
Yeah, I guess that's what would happen. Although it would get a raise in speed. It would be easier to deal with than standard Aegislash though, that's for sure.
>>27500906
It's basically the opposite of Zen Mode Darmanitan

I hope it gets Belly Drum somehow, even if it doesn't make sense.
