Setting its Shield Form aside for the moment, the fact that Aegislash had reached the high level of nine stars made Dark frown thoughtfully.
In the Pokémon games, Aegislash had a base stat total of 500, far below the limit of 600 that he had previously envisioned.
Yet it had not been restricted to eight stars, and had successfully evolved into a nine-star Magic Spirit.
Was it because of this Greed IV, or had his previous assumption been wrong from the start?
Dark pondered briefly and continued reading.
[Aegislash Shield Form] had as much as 4,500 magic power and a full 6,000 defense, but its attack stat was 0.
But since it was in Shield Form, having no attack was only natural. "It's just a pity. It seems I won't be able to crush opponents with the weight and strength of steel."
Dark could not help shaking his head.
Aegislash's Shield Form was a little too pure, which was not always a good thing.
He still hoped that Aegislash would possess some offensive capability. Like Onix, for instance, which had Heavy Slam as an attacking method.
"Still, if it can take defense to the extreme, that works too."
"Aegislash should have King's Shield as an Ultimate Move, right?"
Thinking this, Dark infused it with magic power and examined it more deeply, quickly learning its first Ultimate Move.
—As expected, Aegislash's first Ultimate Move was still Weaponization.
There was a great deal of information on Weaponization, so Dark skipped over it for the moment and looked at the next Ultimate Move—Stance Change!
Stance Change had originally been an ability that allowed Aegislash to freely switch between shield and sword.
After becoming an Ultimate Move, it theoretically should not have changed much. Dark carefully examined its detailed information.
