Hello Runa!
Fellow Galarian here.
Recently read your introspective on the older myths regarding certain species being evil and doing your own debunks, and it got me thinking.
Aegislash also has a very harrowing tale surrounding it regarding Aegislash draining a king of life and the kingdom falling afterwards.
I was always skeptical of this, as while Aegislash was used by more cruel kings in the past to manipulate their people and Pokémon, this is the only instance I'm aware of where an Aegislash actively acts against its king, whilst the dex tells people absolutely nothing about the nature of this supposed king.
I did some digging myself and my findings regarding this myth...don't exactly paint this king in a good light let's say.
It concerns me how many people take the Galar Pokedex's statement at face value and try to weaponize it against people who are bonded with an Aegislash. (I think we all remember the backlash there was, and still is to an extent when Leon first used an Aegislash on his team.)
If you would like I would love to discuss this more in private to construct an answer that settles this once and for all.
Thank you for your consideration.
