Doublade is a fucking baller of a pokemon. Excellent Atk and excellent Def make it a bulky mon that hits like a truck but low Speed and low SpDef means it's usually taking a hit first and if that hit is special it's going to hurt like a motherfucker.
Gyro ball works perfectly with its low speed, and shadow sneak completely offsets it at the cost of low damage. With swords dance it can boost its Atk phenomenally and break past opposing defensive mons or even aim for a sweep (or clean up) with the previously mentioned shadow sneak. However, its lack of reliable recovery options means it has to pick the right opportunity to do so. If it takes too much damage switching into attacks early on, or if it can't cleanly break through what it needs to, it will be forced out or completely stopped in its tracks.
Sacred sword is both thematically appropriate and incredibly useful, giving it perfect coverage alongside its ghost moves and letting it punch holes through pokemon that would normally be able to handle it, but the move isn't so strong that it can be relied on 100% of the time.
Doublade works best with partners that support it and it can support in turn, like fairy types that can pass wishes to it to keep it healthy, or special walls that can come in on the special attacks doublade normally invites.
All in all, doublade is just a really fucking cool mon that makes the most of its unique steel/ghost typing while keeping an achilles heel.
Aegislash is just gay 50/50 coin flip shit.
>b-buh dey nurffed him he ok naow
He's still a faggy gimmick of a mon.
The only good thing aegislash did was let doublade use eviolite.
