In this defensive stance, Aegislash uses its steel body and a force field of spectral power to reduce the damage of any attack.
Forms have different stats. If Aegislash’s ability is Stance Change, it changes to Blade Forme before using a damaging move, and reverts to Shield Forme before using King’s Shield or upon leaving the field.
