Can we discuss how brutal excadrill is when going against Aegi?? His scarfed set does so much work. He can sweep if proper switching is done and does great damage to Aegi, alone. He can soak some damage as well even though he isn't the most defensive.

This is the point I was trying to make earlier. I feel like the Zards, Mandibuzz, Rotom-w, Mawile, Lando, Bisharp, etc. can all be seen fairly commonly around the meta and all provide a usefulness to the team. Also, The campaign for a hard counter to Aegislash 1v1 is somewhat unfair when matches...

Ttar is god. I've run many different sets and the one I've settled on is. Tyranitar @ Choice Scarf Ability: Sand Stream EV's 252 Attack/ 252 Spe / 4 Def Nature: Adamant - Stone Edge, Pursuit, Brick Break, EQ This set is pretty fun. I would like to throw Ice punch on him over brick break, but I...

You're just arguing my point with circular logic. You are not providing any sort of insight as to why my example is wrong. Your whole point is based around you saying they are apples and oranges and therefor cannot be compared. My point, if you bother reading, was that in order to play in the...

Stealth rocks makes it so that people have to run a spinner or a defogger to run certain pokes and rocks isn't banned. Not saying that it should be banned, but the point is that you HAVE to run a check or the pokemon that's weak to it is getting destroyed. And the pokemon that check Aegislash...

I see the point you're trying to make, and it's not at all invalid. What I'm trying to say is, how many people already run those pokes to deal with other viable threats in the OU? How many people run Zard-Y, excadrill, bisharp, amoongus, landorus, and other pokes mentioned in previous comments...

I wanted to know the viability of a mirror match up. I feel like there shouldn't be a stone left unturned in a suspect thread. I'm starting to be swayed by the versatility that Aegislash has that he should actually be banned. I was considering pyroar as a viable check if sacred sword isn't on...

This is a great post, and it provides a lot of insight into the ban side of the argument. I agree that Aegislash is very versatile. I still disagree that he requires over specialization. Many teams often use a pokemon that deal with Aegislash that also deal with other pokes. Has anyone mentioned...

You're only providing situations which are favorable to your argument. This isn't providing a fair argument as to why Aegislash should go.

Assuming there is an all encompassing moveset that Aegislash can effectively use to kill an entire meta tier, Aegislash can be dealt with accordingly. He's not broken by a long shot. Many of the pokes in OU can deal with him. I agree that he can be a nuisance, but there is so much in this tier...

Everything you say is strictly situational and assumes that the Aegislash you're playing against has the moves to counter your pokemon. A bulky talonflame is eating Aegislash all day. Shadow sneak attack Greninja kills Aegislash if he's damaged. Landorus checks Aegislash well. Zard-y is...

Why is everyone hating on Aegislash? If people knew how to counter him, he wouldn't be in this thread. Charizard Y counters Aegislash easily. Heatran is also a great counter. Mamoswine. As long as you're halfway intelligent and use some thought, you would know not to attack Aegislash directly...

Was considering Trevenant (F) @ Sitrus Berry Ability: Harvest EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def/ 252 SpD Careful Nature - Leech Seed - Horn Leech/Ingrain - Sunny Day - Curse/Shadow Claw

I think 4 mons would be acceptable to drop BP to. This allows the metagame to be somewhat more stable, as well as forcing the BP users to be slightly more creative with their team building.

I was thinking infernape and Mach Punch :P
