Aegislash is a top-tier presence in Singles, ranking 9th with 16.22% usage at the 1760+ ladder. Its Steel/Ghost typing combined with Stance Change makes it a dual-role threat: an impenetrable special wall in Shield forme and a hard-hitting attacker in Blade forme. Appearing 35 times in ladder Top 300 teams, it anchors the iconic Dragonite-Mega / Hippowdon / Aegislash core that dominates high-level play.
Playstyle：The dominant set runs Spell Tag (43.7%) or Leftovers (37%) with an Adamant nature, allocating EVs heavily into Attack and Speed. Core moves are Shadow Sneak, Poltergeist, and King's Shield as the pivot read. Expert commentary highlights that a Spell Tag + Swords Dance + King's Shield + Close Combat + Shadow Sneak set can sweep an entire team when the opponent's lineup is known, and King's Shield mind-games completely shut down Aegislash mirrors that lack the move. Top teammates include Garchomp (9.8%) and Hippowdon (6.1%), whose Stealth Rock and Yawn suppress setup threats and create safe switch-in windows.
Aegislash is a consistent Double Battle contributor at 18th place (7.46% at 1760+) with 89 tournament appearances and a GameWith Doubles A-tier rating. Unlike its Singles role as a bulky wall, Doubles Aegislash leans max-Speed (29.1% top spread) to maximize Shadow Sneak's priority value and Wide Guard utility alongside partners like Garchomp (13.8%), Mega Charizard Y (10.3%), and Incineroar (9.5%).
Playstyle：Doubles Aegislash primarily runs Spell Tag (43.8%) with a max-Speed Adamant spread (29.1%). Move selection centers on Shadow Sneak, Poltergeist, King's Shield, and Wide Guard—the last being the defining doubles skill that protects both partner and Aegislash from spread moves like Rock Slide and Heat Wave. Team building notes describe the Mega Charizard X + Aegislash core leveraging mutual threat presence to force frequent switches and exploit Wide Guard windows for partner damage.
