Stance Change is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may switch this Pokémon with an Aegislash in your hand. (Any cards attached to this Pokémon, damage counters, Special Conditions, turns in play, and any other effects remain on the new Pokémon.) The attack Buster Swing lists 120 damage. The cost is Metal, Metal, Colorless, Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by Resistance. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Generations of kings were attended by these Pokémon, which used their spectral power to manipulate and control people and Pokémon."

I keep a set binder for XY, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the XY set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Aegislash can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). I still need this card.
