Doublade Weakness
Doublade is weak to Fire, Ground, Ghost, and Dark. On the flip side, it's immune to Normal, Fighting, and Poison-type moves entirely. It resists 9 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Doublade's physical bulk (base 150 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

| 0.5x (Resist) | Grass, Ice, Flying, Psychic, Rock, Dragon, Steel, Fairy |
| 0.25x (Resist) | Bug |

Doublade Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
At 448 BST, Doublade is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Aegislash before bringing it to any serious fight.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Doublade's biggest threats include Charizard (Fire), Garchomp (Ground), and Dusknoir (Ghost), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Dark-type attackers are also a problem. At base 35 Speed, Doublade won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
No Guard is the go-to ability for Doublade. It ensures all moves used by and against the Pokémon hit. It's Doublade's only ability.
Doublade is a physical attacker with base 110 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 35 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the attacker role.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, For a casual playthrough, Doublade works as a placeholder. Steel/Ghost coverage is useful early. The real payoff is Aegislash. That's where the stats start mattering.
