Spookysword is actually pretty useless against Stall from my experience, especially being bad against CM Mega Sableye.

and I usually carry around taunt to shut down the kings shield mindgames, Mega Gyarados works great between carrying Crunch and Taunt utility for me.

Say what?!

Using a move that Aegislash is immune to doesn't save you from the -2

Play meta you 100 fuck.

How is that a buff though? Maybe in Doubles you could Spotlight Aegislash as it King's Shield so every attack is directed to it, but in 1v1 you have no reason to deliberately use a Normal/Fighting move on it. Unless the buff is specifically targeted at Scrappy users.

It makes the move better than it used to be, hence it's a buff. One that should have no effect most of the time but still buff.

I guess we should bring primal groudon to OU, since it counters aegislash, since this is basically the arguement for keeping him on OU (being the most reliable vs turk grill).

It also hinders non-contact physical attackers, giving them a -2.

>>30017009
You could previously immune attack Aegislash to burn the 100% chance first turn of King's Shield, avoid the attack drop and then be able to attack with an effective move on the 50% turn.

>>30017009
People used to use something it was immune to so they didn't receive the attack drop and could still hit something on the switch.

Zard-Y is probably the safest answer to Aegislash I've found, as Fire Blast will OHKO even full special defensive variants.

252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Aegislash-Shield in Sun: 338-398 (104.3 - 122.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

>>30017009
I've won battles by doing just that specifically to avoid the -2 to ATK and forcing the Aegislash to take a full-power Knock-Off when it can't use KS.

Read the op again fucker. Aegislash is a GOD on stall teams.
