Doublade (ニダンギル Nidangiru) is a Steel/Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Biology

Physiology

Doublade is a ghostly Pokémon that appears to be based on a haunted pair of swords. Each sword has a pink eye on each brown hilt. On the bottom of each hilt is a strip of pink cloth. When in battle, Doublade unsheathes its razor-sharp blades, which are silver, and holds its double sheaths behind it.

Behavior

Doublade is formed by combining two Honedges. It is able to rub its dual blades together to create a high pitched sound that can disorient foes. The two swords converse telepathically and can carry out complicated attacks together. These attacks are very difficult for an experienced swordsman to block and can quickly rend an opponent to shreds.

Abilities

During the battle, it may be unsheathed from its scabbards.

Evolution

Doublade can be evolved from Honedge at level 35 and with a Dusk Stone it can evolve into Aegislash.
