6th Gen Honedge the troll?

[TheBigMan0706]

I noticed something weird today when I was playing Pokemon Y. I was using my Honedge (good pokemon), and i noticed that i can troll fighting type pokemon with him! The first instance of this happened when i battle Korrina's Lucarios. They kept spamming Metal Noise and I kept slashing them with Aerial Ace, knocking both of them out without a scratch! To make things funnier, i destroyed her at the gym. The only Pokemon that harmed me was her Hawlucha. I hope Honedge doesn't get banned in any tournaments anytime soon (Before posting, I know Honedge is Ghost type also, so don't post "It's part ghost type you moron")

Well Sableye could pulverize Brawley's Gym in R/S/E but thats as far as it could go.

the only reason is because Sableye had rubbish stats/move pool.

How do you get Honedge before Korrina?

It's on Route 6 in the tall grass

I don't see how it'd get banned in tournaments since the real competitive battlers are much smarter than the AI. :p Still a funny read though.

That's kind of interesting, koff~

Since it's part steel, the Fighting types might be targeting the steel part, but skipping over the ghost type. So if they had other moves, they might not use them. I don't know. I haven't gotten that far yet, koffi~

Honedge is the best!! He has amazing Attack and Def Stats and his typing is awesome.
Most Normal/Fighting types cant do nothing to hurt him at all.
Plus, Swords Dance and Shadow Sneak are a great combo

it seems like a lot of people are probably going after Honedge now. Also, it's now a Doublade

probably this yeah. sad to see the AI still isn't very smart after so many years and budget.

Because Pokemon with high stats and broken combos get banned early competitive play. Just like Speed Boost Blaziken did in Gen 5. Garchomp in Gen 4. Moody got banned because of how outrageous it can get, Drizzle/Swim got banned because of the over use of it and because of how flexible rain weather was for other scenarios.

Aegislash could become banned early in due to its outrageously high Attack and Defense with no set draw backs until enough counters appear to have him taken off. I mean before he attacks he can have insanely high Attack and he has Priority Defense which changes him back to his defense form which has almost as much Defense as it has Attack. Think Shuckle being able to freely change his Defense Stat with Attack at any time without wasting a turn to do so using a move and being able to still attack with the switch activated.

This is all for Fan tournaments though. He'd never get banned for an official tournament. The only things banned from official tournaments are Event Legends, Box Legends (Ho-oh, Lugia, Rayquaza, Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Kyurem, Reshiram, Zekrom), Mewtwo, Chatot, Skydrop, Dark Void, and the Enigma Stone. Zygarde, Xerneas, and Yveltal are most likely the only three that will officially be banned. They may Ban Mega Evolutions since those are on par with or even surpass most of the banned legends.



I'm using Honedge, and loving him. I can't say mine seems over powered as he's the weakest member on my team thus far.

Aegislash? is that the third form of Honedge?

Ya, that's the name of Honedge's final stage.
