>>44191023>how did that faster pokemon get in? did something get knocked out or did it get chunked for 50%Rather than ask this you should ask what Aegislash forces out
>Tapu Lele>Slowbro>ClefableThat's basically it. Aegislash can't/shouldn't switch in to pult/hydra/boom/cinderace/gengar and it loses to heatran, fini, toxapex.
>tapu fini doesn't even have reliable recoveryFini switches in on a predicted toxic and forces it out. Aegislash loses switching in to fini.
>majority of pex are phys def in the environment this set is made for>252+ SpA Choice Specs Aegislash-Blade Shadow Ball vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Toxapex: 168-198 (55.2 - 65.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Black Sludge recoverypex can always switch out after scalding for 35% or knocking off specs while in blade form
>speed is for pretty much every defensive pokemon except mandibuzz and several offensive ones like marowak and azumarillaegislash is always faster than toxapex and ferrothorn, heatran can run enough evs to always outspeed 252 and fini/kommo-o are naturally faster than max speed aegislash
running max speed is pointless and stupid except to cheese clefable, which is easily telegraphed as the player switches into a steel type like bisharp
marowak is a meme
>it is a filler move and there's nothing wrong with thatsacred sword is better for predicted ghost resists and not getting shit on by ID kommo-o
>it doesn't need to use a boosting move with specs anywayswith low speed Aegislash is worse than Ash-Greninja because it needs to take 2 hits to 2HKO something, and 140 special attack has it miss those 2HKOs like against fini, a mon you would use Aegislash against to spare Heatran
