Iron Head/Shadow Sneak/Swords Dance/King's Shield is literally 2013, but it's still good enough to win some games

On the so called battle spot I actually had no luck with spA aegislash but I found full attack swords dance and shadow sneak fucking rekt.

That was battle spot though.

Yes/No. It depends on what is popular in the meta at the moment.

The more Physical/Special walls/tanks there are, the more the other type will prevail.

The physical set has the benefit of sword dance. But it also depends on how many threats have physical instead of special bulk. It can go either way really.

At this point, it comes down to your team /thread

In ubers at least, you always run physical.

Gyro Ball/Shadow Sneak/King's Shield/Toxic is the standard set, although some people run it offensively with weakness policy

I run Sacred Sword, Shadow Sneak, King's Shield and Iron Head with Weakness Policy on Battlespot.
Sucks against mirrors though.

Yes, but you can get screwed easily by Will O' Wisps and Foul Play.

From what I know, Gyro Ball is there only because it one-shots boosted Xerneas, which Iron Head can't do.
252+ Atk Aegislash-Shield Gyro Ball (113 BP) vs. 240 HP / 0 Def Xerneas: 470-554 (103.7 - 122.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Aegislash-Shield Iron Head vs. 240 HP / 0 Def Xerneas: 336-396 (74.1 - 87.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

That's like asking what the point of a paralyzing move (Thunderbolt) is on Mega Manectric.
It's used for damage, not its secondary effect.

I know that it does more damage to Xerneas than Iron Head at least.
