Some of you may be wondering about the origins of the name "Accelerating Aegiblades."
When you think of the majestic Royal Sword Pokémon, Aegislash, which of its amazing traits come to mind? Its impenetrable defenses? Its considerable offensive versatility? Its ability to force extremely obnoxious 50/50s and make opponents want to stab their computer screens with similar-looking swords?
What about none of the above?
One intrepid trainer saw potential in an aspect of Aegislash heretofore untouched by anyone in their right mind: its
blazing-fast 60 Speed, an unmatched tier allowing it to outpace the much-feared Clawitzer, Type: Null, and Vanillish by a mere point. Peef Rimgar, an innovator and well-known Cobalion(.) lover, the same brilliant mind who had steered the unsteady Megas for All ship on its course to nowhere in particular, was truly catapulted to prominence by his brilliant usage of the same Speed Boost ability that had propelled Blaziken to the Ubers tier.
By
increasing this already spectacular speed to astronomical levels (after a mere two turns in the battle, spent shielding itself from any contact with opposing attacks, lest it faint to a resisted hit), our hero made Aegislash a truly fearsome weapon, arming it with the Secret Sword of courageous Keldeo and the Sludge Wave of meek Mudkip (yes, Mudkip learns that).
Peef cast aside the same old tired characteristics of Aegislash that so many people had believed made it actually good — its ability to transform into a Shield Forme and avoid getting killed by any passing breeze, its mighty Steel-type STAB, and most of all, its
dignity.
And yet...
And yet this brave Aegiblade achieved inexplicable success.
It defeated then-esteemed then-OM Room Voice Ranger then-Mike with ease. Its power grew greater than anyone could possibly have imagined, so great that our hero had to share its power with other trainers, including yours truly, to avoid being corrupted by its incredible strength.
Even the pioneers of other metagame-shaping Pokémon like Prankster Xatu had to stop and take a moment to marvel at its Absolute▲Power:
Delicious indeed.
As Accelerating Aegiblades, we will have the time-earned wisdom of dirt, the resiliency of toilet water (it just keeps coming back!), and the nutritional value of a hearty bowl of spinach. In this way we will form a single "beautiful cake" that no other team, King-ly, excessively Optimistic, weirdly preoccupied with the Bedroom, inexplicably Untitled after being prodded for basically a week, whatever Ransei's name is supposed to be (seriously, I don't even need to make fun of this one), or otherwise, will dare try to cut...
...in line for the OMPL V Championship.
