The Next Best Thing... (on hiatus)

[Darkmalice]

Finally. I prefer offensive Thundurus over bulky Thundurus for rain teams, because LO Thunder deals so much damage.

Another 100% viable Thundurus Set - not a troll

yohoE is suck (Thundurus) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 212 HP / 44 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Substitute
- Swagger
- Foul Play

Any check only has 37.5% chance to attack when confused and paralyzed
EV spread hits a leftys number (divisible by 16), max speed to dodge taunts from opposing thundurus, and the remaining 44 into physical defence
Thunder Wave for speed control
Leftovers to generate as many subs as possible with Leftys HP stat
Foul Play + Swagger to get big damage while making use of confusion.
Ground types that cannot be paralyzed cannot hit Thundy with ground stab, but they commonly carry Rock moves so watch out for that.

If you don't like it ban it

Dear god no

Ok, the winner of this round is finally. Congratulations to him!

Our next suspect is...

Happy Posting! ​

Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- King's Shield
- Shadow Ball
- Flash Cannon
- Head Smash

Head Smash catches most of the Fire Switchins by surprise, as they can no longer fire off a powerful attack, because they'll be knocked out on the switch. It also nails Flying types as a bonus. Shadow Ball and Flash Cannon still deals lots of damage and should be used as Aegi's main damage output; however, Head Smash is what makes this set unique.
4 Atk Aegislash-Blade Head Smash vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Charizard Y: 756-892 (253.6 - 299.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Aegislash-Blade Shadow Ball vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Mega Charizard Y: 142-168 (47.6 - 56.3%) -- 84% chance to 2HKO
Zard user now finds himself in a very shaky situation as his main nuke is gone.

4 Atk Aegislash-Blade Head Smash vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Talonflame: 816-960 (273.8 - 322.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Aegislash-Blade Shadow Ball vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Talonflame: 217-256 (72.8 - 85.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
bye bye priority. Strong Priority Brave Birds are gone.

4 Atk Aegislash-Blade Head Smash vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Thundurus: 412-486 (137.3 - 162%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Aegislash-Blade Shadow Ball vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Thundurus: 193-228 (64.3 - 76%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
still dead, now it can't spread priority thunder waves and taunts or fire off strong thunderbolts.

Can be used on a team which is fire weak, supporting a teammate as a lure (like skymin or amoonguss) or if you want the suprise factor
this post might be undetailed and i am very tired, but at least it works :p sorry :( will edit later.

EDIT NOTE 1:Sub can be used over flash cannon if you're worried about mispredicting.

Imo, there isnt much to do for aegislash, wide guard set is amazing and is what you should be using most of the time. After searching about i realised there is no physical moveset, and aegislash can make a nice bait set for ttar and sharp

Colbur berry halves a se dark type move, aegis common weakness. Combined with sacred sword, aegi can beat ttar and sharp, two of its common counters, it also hits tran for nice amounts of damage. Standard wide guard for obvious purpose - stopping other weaknesses, heat wave and eq. Fight/ghost has perfect neutral coverage and you dont want to use shadow sneak as it lives your shield form susceptible for an attack so shadow claw is the obvious option to use. Iron head could also be used but that only hits sylveon, which you wall any way

It still hits relevant threats hard!

The main part of how this set works is its unpredictability, so it isnt amazing but it works
E: realised i forgot to put on iron head

 

[Anty]

Have fun losing to everything else that aegis normally handles 1v1, slyveon, Togekiss, intimidators, to name a few.

But the main point is to bait in and ko sharp and ttar, which it does. Im not saying it is better than the standard set, but it is different and it is imposible to make a custom set with out changing the main use for it. The whole point of this thread is to find new sets for pokes.

252+ Atk Aegislash-Blade Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Sylveon: 456-536 (115.7 - 136%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Aegislash-Blade Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Togekiss: 336-396 (89.8 - 105.8%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO

Still not bad. I know intimidate screws it, but also screws every other physical attacker not named bisharp, tornadus or based braviary.

You lose the general purpose of aegis (strong AF fairy resist/answer) and forces aegis to go for some shit options to beat mons that it can't even beat UNLESS it nails them on the switch which is essentially pretty much nonviable unless you're specifically CT'ing someone and even then it's an iffy argument mostly because you can prolly 2hko on the switch anyways. And iron head is heavily outclassed by flash cannon as far as general utility is concerned.

I know, but there isnt much you can change with aegi without changing its use, mine is a different set than usual and can score some unexpecting ko's. It isnt easy finding a new set for a mon an already amazing set, uturn did do it well, but there are only a few sets that could work and i was trying to make an alternative.

did you include the speed drop from iron ball?

 

[Arcticblast]

did you include the speed drop from iron ball?

I totally missed the Iron Ball, actually... but is a stronger Gyro Ball really worth giving up an item slot? Sacred Sword and Shadow Claw hit pretty much every target you'd want Gyro Ball for just as hard, if not harder.

Aegislash @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Quiet Nature
IVs: 1 Atk / 0 Spd
- Shadow Ball
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- King's Shield

Hidden Power [Ice] enables Aegislash to OHKO the likes of Landorus-T, Garchomp, and Salamence after taking an Earthquake (Landorus-T and Garchomp) or a Fire Blast (Salamence) in its Shield form. This catches the opponent off-guard, as they are expecting an easy 2HKO against Aegislash with their super-effective moves. The Quiet nature + the 0 Speed IVs allows Aegislash to function in Trick Room and underspeed opposing Aegislash; the opponent will attack first with STAB Shadow Ball and will be reverted to its Blade form and Aegislash can take the hit in its Shield form and proceed to OHKO with its own Shadow Ball. Below will be some defensive and offensive calculations for Aegislash:

Defensive Calculations:

Landorus-T's Earthquake vs Aegislash:

• 252+ Atk Landorus-T Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Aegislash-Shield: 272-324 (62.9 - 74.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
• 252 Atk Landorus-T Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Aegislash-Shield: 252-296 (57.4 - 68.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Garchomp's Earthquake vs Aegislash:

• 252+ Atk Garchomp Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Aegislash-Shield: 254-300 (58 - 69.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
  
• 252 Atk Garchomp Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Aegislash-Shield: 230-272 (52.4 - 62.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Salamence's Fire Blast vs Aegislash:

• 252+ SpA Salamence Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Aegislash-Shield: 166-196 (51.2 - 60.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
  
• 252 SpA Salamence Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Aegislash-Shield: 150-178 (46.2 - 54.9%) -- 63.7% chance to 2HKO

Offensive Calculations:

Aegislash's HP Ice vs Landorus-T:

• 252+ SpA Aegislash-Blade Hidden Power Ice vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Landorus-T: 384-456 (120 - 142.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
  
• 252+ SpA Aegislash-Blade Hidden Power Ice vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Landorus-T: 384-456 (100.5 - 119.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Aegislash's HP Ice vs Garchomp:

• 252+ SpA Aegislash-Blade Hidden Power Ice vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 368-436 (102.7 - 121.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Aegislash's HP Ice vs Salamence:

• 252+ SpA Aegislash-Blade Hidden Power Ice vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Salamence: 384-456 (116 - 137.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

This shows that Aegislash can take a super-effective hit from these three threats and then OHKO them with Hidden Power Ice.

Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 12 Atk / 240 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature

252 Speed puts Aegislash at 240 Speed. I think you can guess what that is. Hint: it's faster than Bisharp. This thing beats Bisharp 1-on-1, especially when Bisharp tries to use Knock Off instead of Sucker Punch (which most people would use, since Bisharp usually outspeeds Aegislash anyway and Knock Off actually has a chance to OHKO the 252/0 variant). Besides this, Aegislash can still beat all its usual prey 1-on-1 (Sylveon, Latios, I can't think of much more idk). King's Shield can be used over Shadow Sneak if you're too wimpy to go all in.

This set really hinges on the presence of a sash, allowing Aegislash to beat a lot of things it didn't beat before, like Gengar and other Aegislash.

Most people will hit Aegislash with SE moves because he has buttloads of resistances. Since he has a shitton of belk, WP is more than viable. Unfortunately he lacks reliable recovery and speed, we can fix one of those with Autotomize. This is where this set comes from! All the moves besides Autotomize are standard, so the explanation will be brief. Kings Shield changes Aegislash's form. Shadow Ball and Flash Cannon are his offensive options. Autotomize increases speed by +2, combined with WP Aegislash's power becomes overwhelming. All the moves that the other guys suggested are options instead of King's Shield. I like the Speed + Dbond combo better. The EVs outspeed Scarf Lando at +2, max SpA, rest in HP.
Ofc as always, you can use the moves the guys suggested instead of Shadow Ball/Flash Cannon.

If I was a pusse and ran King's Shield I would use WP instead of Sash, Aegislash is belky as fuck in Shield Form, it can use WP well, and since you're investing in Spe it might be good. I'm not able to test it atm, so do it for me pls :3

This Aegislash is just like TURBO, but we abuse Autotomize. Because of Autotomize, we can run Destiny Bond, which is just sooooo annoying, but ofc you can run other moves on its place. The 36 EVs in HP can go into Atk if you're running physical moves. The extra damage from Life Orb is nice for revenge killing things, but Aegislash's survivability becomes something close to 0. This Aegislash is versatile, so there are many moves that you can run, I like a special variant because it can check Fairies and all that good stuff. You can combo this Aegislash with other Aegislashs! You can use Head Smash, HP Ice or my fav, Destiny Bond! This Aegislash loses the ability to support the team with Wide Guard, but it probably gets a guaranteed kill with all the other options that it has.

Are you really dropping Kings Shield? I don't think that's worth the risk because you're taking a huge chunk of damage when Scarf Lando-T or TFlame or Zard switches in. I've used Life Orb and it doesn't kill these threats (I think TFlame outspeed)
btw if you slash like that it kinda looks like you're stealing our sets :/
Otherwhise cool set with DBond

Hehe didn't mean to steal anyone's set, I just felt obligated to add all the cool options to the slashes, I'll add a note on the matter.

Good points, I'm rethinking the set.
Just a note: Jolly Talon does not outspeed +2 Aegislash :]

Thanks for the critic m8 :3

EDIT: set rethought
