Someone wanna explain to me why this man was able to outspeed my Landorus-I (which is fully EV'd, I checked) with his Aegislash and kill with his Z-move? Pretty sure this is a bug where he got priority by clicking z-Shadow Sneak but I'm like 100% sure that isn't how that works.

It's just another pokemon Aegislash can't switch into and can't 1v1.
Mega-Salamance can't switch into ice types, fairy types or dragon types, thus it is balanced.
Do you really think a pokemon not being able to switch into an offensive mon they have a type weakness to is a sign that it must be balanced?
Isnt Lefties Sdef Marowak better?You're missing the point. The point is that A-Marowak is a part of the meta. Being a part of the meta, it makes Aegislash that much weaker in the meta. Yes? One less pokemon it can switch into, one less pokemon it can stay in against.
Callmeyeshua There's no need to resort to gimmicky stuff like that or Assault Vest A-Marowak to counter Aegislash.
On another note, Bloom Doom Heatran is a thing and it's actually pretty scary...just watched Tapu Fini get one-shot on the switch.
X5Dragon I haven't seen many successful Conkeldurr since 5th gen...introduction of Fairy really hurt it. Where are you seeing it shine?
Well it has enough bulk to scare of the Hail slushers while at the same time packing Poison Jab if they decide to switch in Alola Ninetales, but I was just naming stuff that might have a use that's all :)
Let me know if you come across a good Golisopod set/team. I rely on you and Jaroda ...
The only way I've seen golisopod used really effectively is banded hit-and-run. Come in, use First Impression, switch out. Or get forced out by your ability after you get hit. It's crazy powerful as far as 'chip' damage goes.
But do you really need Baneful Bunker? Why not just run Recover over Baneful Bunker?

But the problem is that its broken qualities have already surfaced. If anything, Aegislash is still way worse than in Gen VI due to the King's Shield buff. It's still a polarizing, overcentralizing Pokémon that, going by its specifics, by virtue stagnates any and all metagame prowess.Aegislash definetly should not be banned... for now. Just as it was in Gen VI, where its broken qualities only surfaced until the extremely broken threats were removed. Only then we'll see if it's still too much for OU.
Why is diancite 'unreleased' for [Gen 7] Pokebank OU? I triple checked to make sure it was pokebank, wtf is going on?
