Due to convenience reasons, SHS will no longer be operating on this site! We are now located on facebook and are using discord for the chat. For information, our discord chat is here: https://discord.gg/84ue8Vv. It has been a pleasure meeting and serving everyone on this website, but if we wish to move on, we must start fresh in a new location. I hope everyone understands and we hope to see new and old faces. With all that is said and done, SHS is officially up and running again and we had our first tournament on 2/24/2017!! As discussed, we can still hold the 10 year anniversary party. - Thanks for you understanding! With love, Pijy

Aegislash Banned

So Smogon Banend Aegislash to Ubers today, and to be honest it wasn't the right move, just like what they did with Swagger. Aegislash can be easily countered and I have dealt with it pretty well. Moves like Spore, Thunder Wave, and Will-O-Wisp shut down Aegislash pretty hard (if Aegislash is using a Special or Mixed set then Will-O-Wisp not so much.) Also there are Pokemon in OU that are more common than Aegislash that shut it down pretty hard.

Heatran is in like every team that I have battled against and with Flash Fire and Air Balloon, there is only Water and Fighting moves to use with it's Steel/Fire typing. Yeah Aegislash can use Sacred Sword but the fact that Aegislash is slow, it can be easily KO'd or be severely damaged by a Fire move and with a chance of it getting burned.

Greninja is also a very popular Pokemon in OU and can easily deal with Aegislash with Dark Pulse or a nice list of Hidden Power moves with a nice hint of the ability: Protean.

Bisharp can Sucker Punch Aegislash into Oblivion.

Mega Charizard Y can OHKO it with a Fire Blast from it's Drought ability it gains from Mega-Evolving.

Sableye may be in UU but it doesn't mean it's useless in OU, it can easily use Will-O-Wisp and then do it's shenanigans.

Every Ground-Type Pokemon can kill it easily and there are quite a few of them in OU and Earthquake doesn't proc the Atk drop from King's Shield.

Mandibuzz just laughs at Aegislash at everything it does, and can punish it from using Swords Dance with Foul Play.

Rotom-Heat can OHKO Aegislash with Overheat.

And I bet there are more ways to handle Aegislash, but banning it to Ubers I think is the wrong move. Yeah it can sweep entire teams, but so can Dragon Dance users with Moxie, Quiver Dance users, and Slurpuff.

One Last Thing!

I'm actually a little befuddled at this. In all the tourneys I played against Aegislash in, I never really found it difficult to play against, and I haven't even played in any tourneys with a (fully) custom team of my own yet. What exactly was the reasoning behind this decision?
