Aegislash is a powerful Steel/Ghost type Pokémon introduced in Generation 6. Known as the Royal Sword Pokémon, Aegislash has a unique ability to change between Shield Forme (defensive) and Blade Forme (offensive) during battle.

Aegislash has two different forms - Shield Forme, which is more defensive, and Blade Forme, which is more offensive. Its ability, Stance Change, causes Aegislash to change into Shield Forme when a defensive move is used, or change into Blade Forme when an attacking move is used.
