Is Malamar a good pokemon to kill Aegislash with?

I've got some faggot friends that just spam it in doubles and it gets fucking annoying.

>king's shield

>king's shield

Makes me fucking angry.

Malamar is one of the best counters for aegislash besides taunt. Just make it bulky, teach it topsy turvey, and if you get lucky they will use kings shield when you attack

top kek

Malamar is, at best, a counter to someone who doesn't know how to use Aegislash

To be fair it's only other weakness is fairy, and in any previous Generation it would have been it's only weakness. It sort of compensates, Scizor is only weak to Fire, but it's a x4 so it sure as hell can't take any hit from Fire.

I just can't see how it can be good when U-Turn is so widely used and is so well distributed.

Being x4 to bug hurts like hell, but if you can play around it, he can kinda work.

Malamar's stats are just a BIT too low, it's so close to being awesome

It's ridiculous how well Sableye counters Aegislash.
Honestly Aegislash is a good Pokemon but people should really think about using different moves on that thing because King's Shield/SD/Sacred Sword/Shadow Sneak isn't working.

>>15873528
It's just such a widely used move that I can't see it being viable.

If there was an item like assault vest that boosted its defense then maybe.

I have yet to try it but I wanted to break Aegislash out of the same four moves it always uses.

It's also highly susceptible to trick or switcheroo.
I may just switch out King's Shield for Substitute.
Does Substitute activate Stance Change though?
