Stance Change (Japanese: バトルスイッチ Battle Switch) is an Ability introduced in Generation VI. It is the signature Ability of Aegislash.
Effect
In battle
Generation VI
Stance Change allows Aegislash to switch between Shield Forme (high defensive stats, low offensive stats) and Blade Forme (high offensive stats, low defensive stats). Aegislash is always in Shield Forme if it is not battling, and as such, switching out reverts it to Shield Forme.
If Shield Forme Aegislash uses a damaging move, it changes to Blade Forme immediately before using the move. If Blade Forme Aegislash uses King's Shield, it changes to Shield Forme immediately before using the move. Status moves other than King's Shield will not change its Forme. Moves that call other moves, such as Sleep Talk, will not change its Forme, even if they call a damaging move or King's Shield.
If Aegislash attempts to use a move, even if it cannot execute it due to an effect such as a status condition, confusion, or disobedience, Stance Change still activates accordingly.
Role Play, Gastro Acid, Worry Seed, Simple Beam, and Entrainment fail if the target has the Ability Stance Change. Skill Swap fails if either Pokémon has Stance Change. Stance Change cannot be copied by Trace, Power of Alchemy, or Receiver. Stance Change cannot be replaced by Mummy or suppressed by Core Enforcer. If a Pokémon other than Aegislash obtains Stance Change with Imposter or Transform, the Pokémon will not change Formes.
Generation VII
If Aegislash attempts to use a move but cannot execute it due to an effect such as a status condition or confusion, Stance Change does not activate.
Outside of battle
Stance Change has no effect outside of battle.
