Doublade
Say it: DOU-bla-de
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Doublade is the Sword Pokémon — Steel and Ghost middle stage between Honedge and Aegislash. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Aegislash — not a finished raid attacker. Steel/Ghost hits Fairy, Ice, Psychic, and Ghost well; Fire, Ground, Ghost, and Dark punish it. Evolve Honedge up the line.
Say it: DOU-bla-de
Doublade (#680) is a Steel / Ghost Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the middle evolution of Honedge. Trainers almost never power Doublade for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Aegislash (and Sacred Sword). Against Doublade, lead with Fire, Ground, Ghost, or Dark.
