Best Movesets For Aegislash

Some of the recommended moves for Aegislash include:

  • King’s Shield: A unique move that allows Aegislash to switch to its Shield Forme.
  • Shadow Sneak: A Ghost-type move that always goes first.
  • Iron Head: A Steel-type move with a chance to make the target flinch.
  • Sacred Sword: A Fighting-type move that ignores the target’s stat changes.

How To Get Shiny Aegislash In Pokemon Sword and Shield

A Shiny Pokemon is a rare variant with a different color palette than its regular counterpart. In the case of Aegislash, its Shiny form boasts a striking black and red hue, making it a sought-after prize for many trainers. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to increase your chances of encountering and capturing a Shiny Aegislash in Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Before trying to get the Shiny Aegislash, trainers should be equipped with specific tools. The Oval Charm, a valuable item, boosts the rate at which eggs appear while a Pokémon is in the Day Care. Achieving Champion status and heading to Circhester will lead trainers to a building next to the Pokémon Center. Here, a trainer awaits, and upon his defeat, he awards the Oval Charm. Additionally, the Flame Body ability is essential as it speeds up the egg hatching process. Pokémon such as Litwick, Lampent, Chandelure, Carkol, Coalossal, Sizzilipede, and Centiscorch possess this ability, with Carkol being a recommended choice.

Regional Ditto And The Shiny Charm

Another crucial tool is the Regional Ditto, which amplifies the odds of hatching a Shiny egg. Engaging in trades or using the Global Trade System (GTS) in Pokémon Home can help trainers acquire this special Ditto. The Shiny Charm, obtained after completing the Pokédex, significantly boosts the Shiny encounter rate. A visit to Circhester’s flag-adorned building and a conversation with the doctor inside will secure this precious item.

Hunting Through Max Raid Battles

With preparations complete, trainers can embark on their quest for the Shiny Aegislash through Max Raid Battles. Aegislash frequents the Watchtower Ruins of the wild area. Trainers can exploit the Max Raid duplication glitch to consistently encounter Aegislash by manipulating game settings and the system’s date.

Breeding For Shiny Honedge

An alternative approach involves breeding for a Shiny Honedge, which can then be evolved into Aegislash. By placing a Honedge and a Regional Ditto in the Day Care center, the odds of hatching a Shiny offspring increase. With the added benefit of the Oval Charm and a Pokémon with the Flame Body ability, egg hatching is expedited. As trainers roam the wild area and hatch these eggs, they’ll eventually be rewarded with a Shiny Honedge, which can be evolved further into the coveted Shiny Aegislash.
