No. 681: Aegislash

this guy is basically a Yu-gi-oh card
 
He's like one of those Effect Monsters that has a super-high ATK, but when you attack it it instantly goes into Defense Position and switches its ATK and DEF stats. I'm sure something like that exists, right? it can't be more broken than the WXYZ-Super-Synchro Dragon Beastmax or whatever they have these days.

but yeah, Aegislash. a gimmick Pokemon that freakin' works. amazing. he's all defense, until he uses an offensive move, in which case BOOM it's all offense. In some ways I suppose one might prefer Doublade, who is just a reliable high attack and defense kind of guy, similar to how sometimes Scyther is preferable to Scizor.

But in any case, let's talk about this pimp-ass sword. Purple and Gold, like he owns the place. the overall idea of an eyeball in the hilt and tassels of hands remains, but now it looks somehow more humanoid, and thus I think ought to remove the "IT'S JUST A FREAKING SWORD" critique

This guy is boss. all praise here.


Overall: 10/10
