Aegislash has long been seen as a symbol of royalty.
Behavior
According to the Pokédex, these Pokémon were used as guards by the nobility of Kalos. They can manipulate the thoughts and actions of people or Pokémon. They were well known for detecting the innate qualities of leadership and whoever it recognizes is destined to be a king.
Special abilities
It can learn the move Swords Dance and Sacred Sword, like Doublade and Honedge. Its signature ability is Stance Change, which can be activated by using an attack to change into its Blade Forme. In order for it to change back, Aegislash must use its signature move, King's Shield to change it back to its Shield Forme.
Evolution

Trivia
- Aegislash, along with its pre-evolutions, is the only Pokémon with the unique steel/ghost type.
- Aegislash and Tyrantrum are both Pokémon that were designed by Hitoshi Ariga.
- Despite being based on a sword, it and its pre-evolutions, Honedge and Doublade, can't learn Cut.
- Aegislash is one of the collectable spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
- Aegislash, in its Shield Form, has the highest Special Defense stat of any Ghost-type Pokémon. It also is tied with its pre-evolved form Doublade for having the highest Defense stat of any Ghost-type Pokémon, as well as sharing the highest Special Defense stat of any Steel-type Pokemon with Registeel and Probopass.
Origin
Aegislash, like its pre-evolved forms, is designed after a sword possessed by a ghost. It might also be based on the legend of Excalibur, a legendary sword that can be pulled out from a large stone by a "true king" (who was Arthur); this ties in with Aegislash's Pokédex entry stating that it can sense a person's true leadership skills and make that individual a king.
Etymology
Aegislash's name is most likely derived from the words "aegis", which is the name of the shield Zeus and Athena used in the Greek mythology, and "slash".
