Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Ok that makes sense then. Trainers aren't leaving themselves vulnerable in that case. Then the next turn they can just go for King's Shield or switch out if needed (although Ghost/Fighting has nearly perfect coverage IIRC?).
Anyway thanks for the help!
Kind of a dumb question, but it seems that Aegislash sets always include Shadow Sneak. Why is this preferable to Shadow Claw? I know that Sneak is priority, but attacking first prompts Stance Change, giving your opponent the opportunity to hit you when you're undefended (if you don't KO them)...
