Couldn't they wait until January when Bisharp is available again? Bisharp eats it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner because of Defiant + STAB Knock Off.

I wish man, I wish
>>30362421
Bisharp has never been a reliable Aegislash counter
>>30362421
This is Pokebank OU, so Bisharp IS available
>Hello all, the OU tiering council has decided to ban Aegislash from the Pokebank OU metagame. After much discussion amongst the OU Council and the community, including discussion from the On The Radar thread, the Council has decided the appropriate action was to quickban Aegislash.
>Aegislash is not like any other Pokemon; it doesn't outright sweep teams and is not utterly undefeatable, but rather its combination of stats, movepool, ability, and typing making it a Pokemon that has no place in OU. Its offensive and defensive capabilities are a major asset to any kind of team, and as such Aegislash has found itself onto the large majority of teams, cementing itself as a centralizing force in the metagame.

without sacred sword slash can't touch it, forcing a switch. Which means Bisharp gets a free knock against something or a boost.
Although sucker being nerfed hurts this
>>30362210
Is this also for the pre-bank OU?
>>30363096
Aegislash isn't legal in prebank I think
Welp, this is the third chance Aegi has gotten and he's been quickbanned after only being suspect tested before. Three strikes and out.
Aegi will never be allowed in OU ever again.
>>30363196
You can get it with Island Scan feature or QR scan.
It's not in Alola dex though so can't be used in VGC.
