When it comes to Kalos, there is only one Pokémon in Pokémon Go that has been sought after since the dawn of time, and the Sword Pokémon, Aegislash.
With it being out and players eager to try it out, we thought we would share our thoughts on what we believe is the best moveset to kit it out with when trying to rise through the ranks of Battle League.
Aegislash’s best moveset in Pokémon Go
Aegislash is a Ghost and Steel-type Pokémon. It’s weak to Dark, Fire, Ghost, and Ground-type moves, but it’s resilient against most other types, including Normal, Poison, Dragon, Fairy, Fighting, Bug, and more types of moves. Its max CP, though, is pretty low, making it perfect for the Great League of battles in Pokémon Go.
The best moveset, in our opinion, that you can teach Aegislash is a mix of things. Your main Fast Attack has to be Psycho Cut or Fury Cutter, with both moves being down to choice. After that, your main Charged Move needs to be Shadow Ball at the bare minimum, with Gyro Ball and Flash Cannon all having good options after that.
As for me, I think I’m going to stick with Psycho Cut as my main Fast Move and then pair it with Shadow Ball and Gyro Ball as my main Charged Moves, but feel free to experiment to find a setup that works for you and your team. I’ll likely then pair my Aegishlash with something like a Clodsire and either a Tinkaton or Cradily. (I love Tinkaton too much to drop it)
| Attack | Attack Type | Damage Type | Damage | Energy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fury Cutter | Fast Move | Bug-type | 3 | 4 |
| Psycho Cut | Fast Move | Psychic-type | 4 | 7 |
| Shadow Ball | Charged Move | Ghost-type | 100 | 55 |
| Gyro Ball | Charged Move | Steel-type | 80 | 60 |
Is Aegislash good in Pokémon Go?
Aegislash has been one of the most sought-after Pokémon for pro play for quite a while and is arguably a top-tier pick due to his large range of resistances due to its typing. It’ll likely dominate the top-tier Great League bracket and isn’t one to miss out on.
It’s a great Pokémon to bring in to replace something like Registeel and should be considered as a viable pick if you have one. Its special ability to change between its forms also makes it a menace, and it’s already causing a nuisance in the battle league due to its day one bug (which’ll likely lead to it being banned for a while until it gets fixed)
It isn’t a good Pokémon to go raiding with, though, and is more for those who play in the Battle League exclusively, or those who are vying for a spot at the Pokémon World Championship.
