>has a 10 seconds delay between attacks
>>58552908they did him so fucking dirty but I used him in my entire ingame playthrough anyway
>>58552908battle-only "forme" change done right
They really need to patch this game. Him taking 10-12 seconds to change forms and then attack is fucking insanity.
>>58552908Just don't status moves bro.
>>58554975Anon... it comes out of the pokeball in shield forme so every time you want to attack with it, including at the start of battle, there's a good 12-15 second window where it's just facetanking enemy attacks, and half of that damage will be calculated using sword forme's sunkern-tier defences. DLC better fix this shit because as is, Doublade with an AV is absurdly superior if you run only physical moves.
>>58554975You're still a sitting duck for the first 10 seconds (more than enough time to get KO'd) because you have to shift out of Shield Stance into Blade Stance, as Aegislash defaults to Shield Stance.
Did they even test this?
>>58555006They did, but they probably still thought Aegislash was this all-powerful tyrant dominating the metagame while it was available in SWSH, so they basically apologized for unknowingly creating such a bastard creature by making it literally worthless.
>>58554990Eviolite, not AV lol
>>58552908Doesn't it's shield form has like 150 defense and special defense? It's not like taking a hit will one shot it you know
>>58555257>150140 Pokémon Sword and Shield nerfed the Sword and Shield Pokemon Also I’m haven’t played ZA but from what I’ve seen,10 secs is an eternity. Long enough for a foe to beg 3-4 hits in. And while it has high defenses it only has 60 hp
>>58554990This is really sad, I haven’t bothered to use one in ZA because I heard about this. In fact, I never used one in XY because everyone was complaining about how busted he was, then I didn’t in USUM because I wanted to use the new mons, then I didn’t in SwSh because he didn’t exist, then I didn’t in SV because those games were ass and I didn’t play them. Poor bastard just keeps losing
