>>14359728>Gimmick pokemon that aren't named SmeargleWho knows, that might change with Aegislash depending on how Stance Change works.
-If it changes its forme BEFORE it attacks/defends (kinda redundant since King's Shield/Protect have like +4 priority), then it'll be abused til the end of time.
-If it changes formes AFTER it attacks/defends, well, King's Shield/Protect are still +4 priority so it pretty much gets a free change to Shield Forme at any given time as well as protection from an incoming attack AND a -2 on your opponent's attack.
It already has decent Speed, King's Shield as Protect and -2 to enemy Attack on contact, Sacred Sword, Swords Dance, and Autotomize. Plus its Steel/Ghost. I'd call that a useful gimmick Pokemon. All it needs now is Phantom Force.
