Shield Forme: In this defensive stance, Aegislash uses its steel body and a force field of spectral power to reduce the damage of any attack.
Blade Forme: This stance is dedicated to offense. It can cleave any opponent with the strength and weight of its steel blade.
Shield Forme: Its potent spectral powers allow it to manipulate others. It once used its powers to force people and Pokémon to build a kingdom to its liking.
Blade Forme: Once upon a time, a king with an Aegislash reigned over the land. His Pokémon eventually drained him of life, and his kingdom fell with him.
