Mind to enlighten me such brief example for aegislash?
Hurm, I thought the limitation would be fun and more challenging, easier for beginner rather than have to face with the like of garchomp, etc and still have possibilites for professional to exploit. Or, maybe it's just plain boring.
Let's take an example:
Aegislash almost always runs King's Shield. Problem with it is that sometimes opponents can see this coming from a mile away, and will take this opportunity to inflict status (KS doesn't block status) or increase stats (e.g. Dragonite use Dragon Dance, anticipating the King's Shield so that it can sweep the team). This is what a predictable Aegislash user might do, and that might very well cost the match. So, to play Aegislash well, it's all about practice and knowing what your opponent is thinking.
Also, depending on your Aegislash build, it might not be as effective as you think. While a purely physical Aegislash has better movepool, it's quite useless once it's burned (even when +2 attack with Sword's Dance). So I think having a special or mixed Aegislash is better.
I hope that helps.
If you play with Kantodex, then you have only 64 fully evolved pokemon to choose from, so it can be rather dull, not much variety.
