Alternate Forms

Aegislash Best Nature and Moveset for Story

Adamant or Jolly

Nature Stat Changes
Adamant ↑ Attack, ↓ SpAtk
Jolly ↑ Speed, ↓ SpAtk

Since Aegislash (Shield Forme) is a Fast Physical Attacker, its best Nature is either Adamant or Jolly to boost its Attack or Speed further, while reducing its Special Attack stat.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Lonely ↑ Attack, ↓ Defense
Naughty ↑ Attack, ↓ SpDef

You can also give Aegislash (Shield Forme) either Lonely or Naughty nature, if you will mainly use it for Story Content.

Keep in mind that giving Aegislash (Shield Forme) any of the above two natures will increase the damage it receives, making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Aegislash (Shield Forme) has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
Mints Locations and How to Change Nature

Best Aegislash (Shield Forme) Moveset for the Story

Shadow Claw Pokemon Ghost Type Icon 7
Iron Head Pokemon Steel Type Icon 8
Shadow Sneak Pokemon Ghost Type Icon 3
Swords Dance Pokemon Normal Type Icon 15

We recommend the moves Iron Head, Shadow Sneak, Shadow Claw, and Swords Dance when using Aegislash (Shield Forme) during the main story.
