Spell TagAegislash-Shield is listed as a Steel/Ghost type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Aegislash-Shield fits in a VGC team.
The most common build highlights Stance Change, Spell Tag and Hardy 32/0/2/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include King’s Shield, Shadow Sneak, Poltergeist, Iron Head, Sacred Sword, and Close Combat. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.
Defensively, Aegislash-Shield has important weaknesses to dark 2x, fire 2x, ghost 2x, ground 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as garchomp, incineroar, aerodactyl, rotom-wash, and floette-mega appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
