So it is a good partner for Hawlucha, huh?It's pretty much classified as a hard check to aegis. It counters the common subtoxic set, and since sacred sword is rapidly declining in usage, it's generally a good answer to it. Unboosted Sball doesn't even 4hko after lefties, and lava plume 2hkoes, so it takes it on pretty well.
If he`s carrying ancientpower for talonflame, yeah.So it is a good partner for Hawlucha, huh?
Why sacred sword is declining in usage? I find it as the best attack for Aegislash as it fucks up Bisharp and T-tar, two Pokemons that would absolutely wall Aegislash without Sacred Sword.It's pretty much classified as a hard check to aegis.

Iron head is the better option as it still hits Ttar hard, but also hits the bastard Clefable and other fairies. He also gets ST AB on it. And I don't need to explain why pursuit is sometimes used over Sacred Sword.Why sacred sword is declining in usage?

I don't have experience with Aegislash, I only use the Toxic stall set. But an Aegislash without Sacred Sword is fucked when facing Bisharp, and can get trapped.Iron head is the better option as it still hits Ttar hard, but also hits the bastard Clefable and other fairies.

Many people, including me, use Sacred sword because it fits their team better, but generally, Iron Head is the best option.
aegislash shouldn't be taking on bisharp at all, knock off ohkoes and getting pursuit trapped is too easyI don't have experience with Aegislash, I only use the Toxic stall set. But an Aegislash without Sacred Sword is fucked when facing Bisharp, and can get trapped.
But Iron Head is an amazing move, especially against Clefable who I consider the most annoying Pokemon in the meta game right now.
So Bisharp is the best Aegislash check ever. What other uses does it have?aegislash shouldn't be taking on bisharp at all, knock off ohkoes and getting pursuit trapped is too easy
It can pursuit trap and punish defog users. Also a good fairy slayer. If you want to discuss Bisharp, do it in the Bisharp thread.So Bisharp is the best Aegislash check ever. What other uses does it have?
Decently true, but can be a threat if used right. It's just a bit team reliant and unsuited for OU. But Heatran would make an incredible partner with him, since Tran can keep Aegi and T-flame in check. Too bad Steel lost its resist to ghost. Tran could trash Aegi right off the bat otherwise.It would be if Hawlucha wasn't terrible.
Dragon/Dark Pulse > Flash Cannon. Bisharp exists for something. And use Timid nature.Mine has 252 satk 252 spd 4 hp choice scarf flash fire
solar beam ( with a setup )
Earth power
Lava plume
Flash cannon
For a revenge killer what do you think?
Bad. You have to run Quiet nature and even with Scarf + 252 EVs it only outspeeds base 105s, which is not enough for Scarfers. It will almost always be hit before. Trick Room + Choice Specs is pretty cool though.How good is eruption on an offensive Heatran set?
Ohhh I see I was thinking since Heatran does force a lot of switches on coming things like M-Venu and to an extent Zard X it could use explosions power to destroy the switch inBad.

Hawlucha isn't that terrible. It works great with Power Herb/Sky Attack and is one of the best users of Unburden. But let's not turn this into a Hawlucha thread.It would be if Hawlucha wasn't terrible.
I'd keep Flash Cannon for Fairies but get rid of SolarBeam. With out set up it's just a wasted move slot, especially considering you'll be locked into it.Dragon/Dark Pulse > Flash Cannon. Bisharp exists for something. And use Timid nature.
