Umbreon @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 28 Def / 232 SpD
Careful Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Foul Play
- Heal Bell
- Wish
- Protect

Umbreon's speed is exactly 1 point lower than Aegislash's meaning we will always be hitting it in sword form and OHKOing. On top of that with 28 defense EVs, leftovers, protect, and using the exact set given, we always avoid a 2 Hit KO from Close Combat. The rest is put into SpDef because Umbreon. Also, with the set we can continue to heal and get rid of toxic if Aegislash wants to click that on us. All of this is with minimal physically defensive investment.

0- Atk Aegislash-Blade Close Combat vs. 248 HP / 28 Def Umbreon: 186-220 (47.3 - 55.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery and Grassy Terrain recovery
(Grassy Terrain used to simulate a turn of protect and leftovers)
