>>21215826You would not have nearly as big a safety net like you did with Aegislash's Shield. Basically:
>Priority userNot very useful against Aegislash, will damage/kill MegaScep.
>Predicting a Boost/Switch correctlyYou get a free hit. Aegislash has incredible coverage and attack stats. The former is probably more important because Grass/Dragon is a terrible pair and no move you have can make up for that, unlike how Aegislash has Sacred Sword to make up for not hitting Dark types with Shadow Ball. Hope whatever is out right now doesn't resist what your Sceptile has.
>Predicting a boost but instead getting hitEither one, you probably die
>Predicting your opponent attacking correctlyAegislash makes an enemy physical attacker useless, Sceptile has now set up +1 SpA but has bad coverage and can just get walled anyway.
>Predicting your opponent attacking but instead they boostIf they boost speed in front of Sceptile (which they will be trying since nobody's going to be dumb enough to try to boost attack in front of something sanic fast), Sceptile's electrify is useless now, and you let someone set up to outspeed your team, so even if you switch and resist the coming attack, you will be outsped the next turn barring a scarfer.
If they boost attack in front of Aegislash, Aegis is now in shield form and could possibly survive a hit, or you could try to switch to something that will resist what just set up, outspeed it and kill it.
It's interesting maybe, but I don't really think it'll be that good. I think the crippling factor here is Sceptile's bad offensive type.
