Aegislash's Steel / Ghost typing gives it 4 weaknesses but strong offensive coverage against rock, ice, fairy, ghost, psychic types
With a base stat total of 500, Aegislash plays as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Its standout stat is Attack at 140, while Defense (50) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Its Steel, Ghost typing leaves Aegislash with 4 weaknesses against 9 resistances and 3 full immunities. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 5 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Aegislash a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2, Special Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
