>>22648599>If you brought back Aegislash you could bring back Mawile and Greninja, and a lot of the megas that are likely going to be tested soon wouldn't need to be.>252+ Atk Huge Power Mega Mawile Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Aegislash-Shield: 282-332 (87 - 102.4%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO>252 SpA Life Orb Greninja Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Aegislash-Shield: 205-244 (63.2 - 75.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recoveryAnd Smogonsword got banned because it was centralizing, not because it kept stuff out of OU. Even though after it got banned, M-Heracross, M-Gardevoir, M-Medicham, Gothitelle, Mew and Slowbro all moved up. Which is a fucking ridiculous number of Pokemon, even for a top threat.
Though it'll probably be retested, it was pretty close in the first place and like I said it's a really unique and interesting Pokemon. It's just questionable whether it's worth having what with its massive effect on the meta.
