Honedge and evolutions are pretty crappy... but the other I like a lot!!! Tyrantrum I would say is my favourite out of those! 

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Aegislash is amazing. Can withstand any hit then will obliterate them, only a Pokemon fan who looks further than the design of a Pokemon will know that.

My only regret is that you don't get access to a Dusk Stone earlier on. By the time I got one from Terminus Cave I think it was, my Doublade was already lvl 80, so I'd rather save it for a second one I will train in the future,cause Aegislash is indeed a powerhouse of a Pokémon!! Four weaknesses, sure, but three immunities and no less than nine resistances!! And the stats are there to back it up too!! The moveset gives access to some useful attack types too (fighting, fly, ghost, steel) which make it really worth keeping around. By the third gym in the game, it was my main front guy, and with multi exp, the others were levelling up along as well Smilie.
