waiter mentioned Shield Sword Monster last time, he mentioned the bad treatment the Shield Sword Monster received in the eighth generation. First of all, the overall racial value was weakened by 20 points, the double defense in shield form and the sword Each form's double attack lost 10 points, and secondly This is because all transformation-type moves after Dynamaxing will turn into Dynamax defenses, resulting in the Shield Swordsman being unable to change forms while in the Dynamaxed state. It is a Pokémon that cannot enjoy the benefits of the eight-generation battle mechanism. But, does this really mean that the Shield Sword Monster in the battle has been eliminated? In fact, this is not the case. The Shield Sword Monster said that as long as he was not completely beaten, he could still fight for several more rounds.

Where flexibility exists, you will never be left in the cold.
Speaking of which, although the Shield Sword Monster cannot take advantage of the benefits brought by the Dynamax, it is still very flexible in terms of attack. The 20 points of weakened racial value will have an impact on the Shield Sword Monster. 10 points The basic output often allows the Shield Sword Monster to be just a little bit close to defeating the opponent. But to say that it has a big impact, it’s actually not bad. The waiter has previously introduced the gameplay of simply giving up the King’s Shield skill and going directly to output. However, such a gameplay actually has great risks. Not only is the Shield Sword Monster itself a brittle weapon, The skin and speed are also very poor. If there is not much protection, the pure output shield sword monster will easily die suddenly.
So after thinking about it, I feel that the Shield Sword Monster is actually more suitable to play with the double sword of the King's Shield. This is also the reason why the Shield Sword Monster has a saying that "the race value will be 720 if you use it well", because the King's Shield has Priority skills, so take advantage of this, Perform appropriate defense in the round when the opponent is likely to attack, and switch to output at the right time to play a set. With props such as leftovers and weak point insurance, you can greatly increase the ability of the shield sword monster to stay away or It is an explosive ability. It should be noted that due to the influence of Dynamax, the King's Shield of the Shield Sword Monster is now at risk of being broken.
Recommended moves: King's Shield + Close Combat + Shadow Sneak Attack + Iron Head
The Strong Shield Sword Monster can actually use double swords, and what Xiaoer listed here is a purely physical attack method. The advantage of double swords is that they can be used according to the situation. Choose different outputs to contain the opponent, such as in the ghost I originally chose a shadow ball. Although the eight generations of battles revolved around dynamism, if you reduce evasion and directly attack the enemy's dynamite hand, then the flexibility advantage of the shield sword monster will still be there. Secondly, it seems that Shield Sword Monster can still easily become a panacea for various teams because it has a King's Shield. Its diverse usage also prevents this Pokémon from being left in the cold after being weakened.
Moreover, the era of Gigantamax is almost over, and the Shield Sword Monster may soon usher in its own spring again (of course, the prerequisite is to pass the ninth generation).
