It probably is just cause I'm bad but sword definitely just feels outclassed by too many things in the game right now. Prolly just a combination of being bad and really high ping where half my attacks in the sweet spot clip through opponents, but it's enough to sometimes make me feel I should set the control down in some interactions. Someone in the chat said it, when you have a good match it's amazing, but a bad one makes you almost never wanna touch the mon again. Except I'll keep touching it because I play this game for sword and I'm a sucker for the suffering anyways. QOTD: someone once drew a concept of sword wearing wikstrom's armor and I have been wanting that to become official ever since, it's so perfect. A different one I've been wanting and am flabbergasted it hasn't happened yet is a christmas holo for tree, I want to see a merry style with ornaments and all, lights and tinsel strung around him and a little star placed on his horn. The animation for getting ko'd would be all the ornaments spilling off or something lol
QOTD: a piece of holowear I want is for Chandy. Two ideas came to mind and these are both Purple Tier skins for Chandy. The first is a Purple tier skin for the Tea Party style where poltergeist spawns tea pots, and cups instead of chairs. The other is Train Conductor Chandy as an Easter egg to how Ingo was Chandelure’s trainer in Black and White but then got teleported to Hisui
Also idk why we aren’t using Aegislash more often. I love that Mon so much and I feel stupid abandoning him for Metagross knowing full well that while half his kit is blocked by Clefable the dash autos aren’t
Those are some really nice ideas for Chandy Holowear! Off-topic, I enjoyed using Tank Aegislash last season (Weakness Policy, Focus Band, Resonant Guard). Maybe it's because I haven't figured out when to engage yet, so I'm mostly able to support my team with Wide Guard CC.
I wanna see a james bond style inteleon holowear. Like a sick detective looking holowear with maybe monocle or something like a detective would be awesome.
I’m so happy this has come up! Aegislash has been my favourite mon in this game, I took a couple months away from the game and when I came back my first 2 matches I got mvp twice and 40 kills across both games. I prefer shadow claw over sacred sword but its versatility is sooooo good. Love the Jake!!
I played with an aegislash teammate yesterday who was cracked. Getting pentas surviving at 5HP and I thought to myself "this guy makes this pokemon look S"
Angle sylveon I think it would look dope and then when it uses it’s unite move it gets like a big halo while in the air and ko effect would just be a butterfly flying away
Aegi just needs a lil something for iron head and the unite move and I think it’d be a solid competitive pick every now and then. I’ve loved it since release.
An actually good Jester Hoopa skin, or like the Greatest Showman. You could make his Unite Move jumping through flaming hoops, etc (also change the Captain to have a Cannonball for Shadow Ball, and a Parrot for Trick)
For QOTD, I want to see clefable a fantasy cleric holowear, and umbreon with a knight armor holowear, maybe moon-themed. That's the vibe I get from these mons. Also, delphox with a witch outfit could be amazing (though I don't know if that's already been done)
its not anywhere near release yet but i’d love to see a paladin styled holowear for ceruledge when it eventually is added to the game. as for mons already here, a robin hood/thief styled holowear for deci sounds like a no brainer
Wide guard and sacred sword? It was my understanding that you would combine one of his low cooldown moves with one of those two since one would be on a low cooldown and the other would help you get boosteds. I don't really play Aegislash so maybe I'm wrong.
This used to be the standard build for Aegis. Nowadays some people play Shadow Claw instead of Sacred Sword, but it is still a very common build, always has been. Nobody plays Iron Head tho
it probably does't make *that* big a difference, but I was thinking about how they changed some of the auto attacks to be on big hit instead of multiple small ones. And that gives a very mini buff to aegislash early game in lane since you can block their auto attack now! (If I'm thinking about it correctly.
I just started playing again after like 6 months. I'm having way more fun now then before. And Duraludon is a menace. Used to play Aegislash but I wasn't any good with it. Right now just trying to get master for the first time. Always fun to play, not so fun to lose cause teamates suck.
Aegislash is my personal favorite character in the game & in my top 10 favorite pokemon of all time. Iron head needs a buff IMO the attack boost should be available right away at 8% & the cooldown should be 6 sec then the upgraded version should have a 12% attack buff & your CC immune during the dash. I would really like to see Viking theme holowear specifically for Buzzwole, Blastoise, Crustle & Hoopa. (Loki theme, Sableye or Thor theme Pikachu just saying)
Okay, for once I'll answer the midway point of the video question because I think holowear is one of the most debatable things in this game. First I think holowear are poorly focused , making your poke wear clothes is trash for my tastes and I think holowear should be things like modyfing the charas themselves, such as a venusaur with a rail gun instead of a flower shooting beams, or a katana aegislash and such, but obviously they don't do it mainly because of tpc rights for sure and then because TiMi doing things properly???? Once in quite a long while...
Here’s a thought: BRING SHINY POKEMON INTO THE GAME! Maybe have it where you play matches and you can randomly get it from playing a match. Make the shiny rate low so it’s cool to see in game.
As a former sword main (now I just hop from all-rounder to all-rounder, so no more mains), I can say there are 3 reasons why sword isn't good (or as good as the rest of roster). 1. It's damage cap on wild pokemon is brutal. After the nerfs a year and a half ago, it's early game jungle clear is just not enough, which is unfortunate because it relies heavily on farming to level 7. Reducing its jungle potential made the pokemon worse overall. 2. It's TTK (time to kill) is too slow. Especially now where we're in bulky/burst meta, with strong CC defenders and squishers but powerful attackers, aegislash's boosteds take too long to kill compared to something like Dodrio. 3. Speaking of dodrio, every all-rounder essentially just outclasses it. Sure, it's high skill, but there's so little reward for learning the mon when you can just play dodrio, mimikyu, metagross, tsareena who essentially do its just but better and bulkier. I love sword, but they need to reverse the early-game wild pokemon nerfs and increase its attack speed for it to be actually effective. Otherwise, it's just fine.
It’s not that he was bad it’s just that for a time pokemon it was going up against were extremely Tanky. But now that it’s shifted into a meta where somewhat glass cannons run amuck he’s viable
I would love that dodrio holowear but I really want a cool charizard skin they really didn't done anything extraordinary with charizard skin I would buy it on any prize I just love charizard in general I don't care if it's good or bad I just need a crazy charizard skin
Omg i cannot believe how people have been ignoring Aegislash for so long ever since X and Y came out it was one of my favorite mons but i was kinda sad it was falling off the meta and even through all of that i stayed an Aegislash main and i can now proudly say WHO THE HELL PUT AEGISLASH IS B TIER lol
I feel like this isn't really a fair representation. Your team is perfectly balanced, and all the players played well. The other team is three speedsters, two attackers, no CC, and they all played terribly. Any pokemon would excel in that situation. In most average matches sword just kind of runs around doing it's best, but not really getting anywhere. It's not the worst, but it definitely feels really weak compared to most of the roster.
Still B tier imho. All pokemon look good if u are together with the entire team for the whole 10 minutes, while including the best healer and tank aswell. Great game nonetheless
The B tier does not deserve this mon
It probably is just cause I'm bad but sword definitely just feels outclassed by too many things in the game right now.

ChrisChicken is a new addition to the ever growing ChrisHeroes cinematic universe! lol
Lmao I genuinely faced someone named CritHeroes yesterday and (un)surprisingly they were playing azumarill😅
YOU FINALY SAID SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT MY MAIN
QOTD: a piece of holowear I want is for Chandy. Two ideas came to mind and these are both Purple Tier skins for Chandy. The first is a Purple tier skin for the Tea Party style where poltergeist spawns tea pots, and cups instead of chairs.

I would like antagonist outfits. Team rocket,plasma etc
Who said sword ⚔️ is bad 😞?
= You spragel you said 😢
Wide guard during Registeel bounce and you dont get bounced, add to your boost attacks.
QOTD: football style azumarill, and the ult effect is azu running down the football field into the end zone
Omg that’d be hilarious
I wanna see a james bond style inteleon holowear. Like a sick detective looking holowear with maybe monocle or something like a detective would be awesome.
Agent style inteleon
I’m so happy this has come up!

Angle sylveon I think it would look dope and then when it uses it’s unite move it gets like a big halo while in the air and ko effect would just be a butterfly flying away
Yo this was the legendary CHICKEN INCIDENT!
Aegi just needs a lil something for iron head and the unite move and I think it’d be a solid competitive pick every now and then. I’ve loved it since release.
I just got an aegis penta with your build,thank you so much content cowboy ❤
i wanna see dodrio in a hydra costume or something like that
An actually good Jester Hoopa skin, or like the Greatest Showman. You could make his Unite Move jumping through flaming hoops, etc (also change the Captain to have a Cannonball for Shadow Ball, and a Parrot for Trick)
For QOTD, I want to see clefable a fantasy cleric holowear, and umbreon with a knight armor holowear, maybe moon-themed. That's the vibe I get from these mons.
Also, delphox with a witch outfit could be amazing (though I don't know if that's already been done)
Is it just me or does the "I love you *Mwah*" really brighten your day?
this way better than the chicken incident
its not anywhere near release yet but i’d love to see a paladin styled holowear for ceruledge when it eventually is added to the game. as for mons already here, a robin hood/thief styled holowear for deci sounds like a no brainer

Nobody plays Iron Head tho
I've been waiting ages for this very vid thank u so much spragels ur the goat of unite
have you heard of the chicken incident?
it probably does't make *that* big a difference, but I was thinking about how they changed some of the auto attacks to be on big hit instead of multiple small ones. And that gives a very mini buff to aegislash early game in lane since you can block their auto attack now! (If I'm thinking about it correctly.
THERE I AM GARY THERE I AM!
There's a reason it's difficulty is Expert. Not everyone is going to be good with it. But if you get good, you get cracked.
something about cris and cheese...?
I don't know why but sword feels good this season 👍
I just started playing again after like 6 months. I'm having way more fun now then before. And Duraludon is a menace. Used to play Aegislash but I wasn't any good with it. Right now just trying to get master for the first time. Always fun to play, not so fun to lose cause teamates suck.
How much rl money to get to master? I only get solo queued with solo players and back cappers while the other team is basically the terminator
4:46 ok, hear me out.
Dodrio with 4 hats. That would break the game.
Aegislash is my personal favorite character in the game & in my top 10 favorite pokemon of all time. Iron head needs a buff IMO the attack boost should be available right away at 8% & the cooldown should be 6 sec then the upgraded version should have a 12% attack buff & your CC immune during the dash.

I want a shield version for Aegislashs ult
When you're in sword mode, even lvl 1 magikarp can kill you with one flail
That’s my Main Aegislash
this mon deserves decidueye memorial tier
what is best moveset for sword?
As a sword main myself, this video was pure satisfaction 🤩🤩
What tier do you put sword now?
I want to see any battle pass Metagross outfit.
The thing is, when Sword has healing on the team it's sooo good.
i really only want more move efx on existing holos than new ones instead
Yeah I’m not bad
As a aegislash main, i am thankfull
Nurse Joy Blissey holoware would make absolute bank, and I would 100% purchase it if it came out.
Umbreon and Clefable existence holds it back lol

Once in quite a long while...
finally, i was waiting for this video.
There is nothing like enemy team with almost zero CC
I think that Delphox should get a holowear that looks like the dark sorcerer dragapult where it gets a witch hat and robe.
Uniting the leafeon when they’re at full… that’s just a sign that the game was over long ago for that poor cat
I think a dainty style goodra or Gardevoir would be so nice. They would be so pretty 🤩

Im kinda mad they called it wide gaurd and not kings shield
Seriously why add an egg move?
i can finally play aegislash again?
We both realized at the same time
I played shadow claw tho
Someone that would have a dark knight holo maybe on umbreon, absol, or on blaziken
In this game enemy team have no chance 3speedster2atker
Yes, take notes teammates. 5 squishies doesn't make for a good comp.
FINALLY SWORD VID HAHA IVE BEEN AEGI MAIN FOR YEARS
When it comes to Dodrio, the answer is always 3 hats!
It’s not that he was bad it’s just that for a time pokemon it was going up against were extremely Tanky. But now that it’s shifted into a meta where somewhat glass cannons run amuck he’s viable
My holowear idea was Detective style pickachu I mean you can't go wrong with detective style pikachu
So the next monday we get proper pokemon tier list?
Gravity and shield hahaha this match was hurtful for the opponents haha
Omg I was in a spragels vid! Gg our Mewtwo was a bot but sword is so broken whether or not it was 4v5 we got stomped
I have gotten 3 16 ko 90+k dmg games on aegislash in the past 2 days
Next you should do scizor without the freaking double hit, sword dance is so much better
A holowear i would want is like a battle armor Tsareena
Well idk if I can describe it but I want a good looking purple holowear for Blaziken
QotD: something like UFO/space Suit foe Dragapult. Launching projectales and alien dreepies everywhere!!!
Sword is really good vs speedsters and attackers without sure hit moves. should be amazing in draft😊
You made wide guard look broken
I would like armoured style mewtwo/mega abuser
The dumb thing about the sword is that it can just wide guard most unites and just eat them
Still B tier. Buzzswole just grabs you out of most of your moves, zacian and metagross just feel more impactful
Why don’t we have a detective pikachu holowear???
I would love that dodrio holowear but I really want a cool charizard skin they really didn't done anything extraordinary with charizard skin I would buy it on any prize I just love charizard in general I don't care if it's good or bad I just need a crazy charizard skin
Caveman Mamoswine
Sword it's good with a great healer and a great support otherwise it's really hard to pop off
Sword is best 👍
Bow before the sword
I want cowboy Scyther/Scizor so bad
Would love to see that
Nobody said, maybe you said that cowboy 🙈
I don't know
omg that's me :0
You better be I've done 39 battles with this Pokemon and I have a 74 percent win rate ,
Omg i cannot believe how people have been ignoring Aegislash for so long ever since X and Y came out it was one of my favorite mons but i was kinda sad it was falling off the meta and even through all of that i stayed an Aegislash main and i can now proudly say WHO THE HELL PUT AEGISLASH IS B TIER lol
just add rocky helemet in stead of weakness policy and you get quite a tanky mon
Do u use it ? Like that
its only good wen u hve team mates who are willing to pick defender amd supporter on will lol
Sword for win :-))
I feel like this isn't really a fair representation. Your team is perfectly balanced, and all the players played well. The other team is three speedsters, two attackers, no CC, and they all played terribly. Any pokemon would excel in that situation. In most average matches sword just kind of runs around doing it's best, but not really getting anywhere. It's not the worst, but it definitely feels really weak compared to most of the roster.
What bro say it's B .
Bro it's C tear i mean - C
Still B tier imho. All pokemon look good if u are together with the entire team for the whole 10 minutes, while including the best healer and tank aswell. Great game nonetheless
Jake I love you
i'd rate it S tier
It is B tier though
You’re not even playing the better build. Lol
