[SET COMMENTS]

Aegislash acts as a powerful Sword Dance wallbreaker with incredible base stats, a wonderful Ghost / Steel typing, and an amazing ability that allows it to survive powerful hits and hit back hard, making it a staple on Steel-type teams. Shadow Claw is Aegislash's main STAB move and serves to hit Ghost- and Psychic-types. Shadow Sneak serves as a STAB priority move that helps to cover its horrendous Speed stat and revenge kill weakened foes. Close Combat is used in order to hit Steel-, Rock-, and Normal-types such as Ferrothorn, Tyranitar, and Indeedee. Weakness Policy takes advantage of Aegislash's ability to take powerful hits and boost its Attack to help it sweep more easily. Aegislash can be used early-game to weaken the opposing team to give its teammates the capability to sweep late-game, or as a late-game sweeper with its priority move in Shadow Sneak being able to KO weakened threats.

Entry hazard setters like Spikes Ferrothorn or Stealth Rock Duraludon helps Aegislash to sweep more easily late-game. Bisharp is also a good teammate, because the combination of both is very difficult for Ghost and Psychic teams to handle, as they can wear them down with their priority moves. Other late-game sweepers such as Choice Scarf Excadrill are also good partners for Aegislash, being able to clean remaining Pokemon after an Aegislash sweep. Aegislash fails to defeat Dark-type Pokemon such as Mandibuzz, so having a teammate that can take advantage of them like Bulk Up Corviknight is nice, too.

[DYA]

I think this is done for QC

 

[Moosical]

- Add a little clarity around Shadow Claw about what it's hitting for Steel
- Add that Shadow Sneak lets it revenge kill weakened fast Pokemon
- Add what weakness policy actually does / enables Aegislash to do
- Add 4 SpD to the set

- Can add Bisharp as a teammates as the pairing of the two are very difficult for Ghost and Psychic to handle.

Looks good QC 1/2

 

[DYA]

Ready for second QC

 

[Rio Vidal]

- make the set name Swords Dance
- close combat also hits normal, rock, and dark i would just list some examples maybe like tyranitar & indeedee
- with bisharp mention how they can weaken each others checks with priority spam
