Quick Answers

How do you get Aegislash in Z-A?

Evolve Honedge to Doublade (Lv. 35) and use a Dusk Stone to evolve Doublade into Aegislash.

Aegislash remains a top-tier threat thanks to Stance Change and King's Shield, but its low HP and reliance on prediction keep it balanced in Z-A competitive play.

About Aegislash-shield

The royal sword of Kalos returns in Z-A. Aegislash shifts between Shield Forme (towering defenses) and Blade Forme (all-out offense) with King's Shield. Its Steel/Ghost typing gives it nine resistances and three immunities — one of the best defensive cores in the Z-A meta.
