Pokemon GO debuts Honedge during the Ultra Unlock: Steel and Scales event. After catching a Honedge, you can evolve it into a Doublade and then an Aegislash. But there are two different Aegislash forms: Shield Aegislash and Blade Aegislash.
You can get Honedge in Pokemon GO starting with the Ultra Unlock: Steel and Scales event on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at 10 AM Local Time.

After the event, it shifts to Rank 16 but still appears more often for premium trainers.

Pokemon GO: How To Evolve Doublade Into Aegislash
After evolving Honedge into Doublade, you can then proceed to get Aegislash in Pokemon GO. While the main series trainers get both Shield Aegislash and Sword Aegislash through the Stance Change Ability, Pokemon GO developers have updated a new method of getting them. The requirement to evolve Doublade into Aegislash is only 100 Honedge Candies. After that, engaging in battles can change their forms.
Unlike Pokemon with separate catchable forms, Aegislash shifts between Shield Forme and Blade Forme automatically during Pokemon GO battles — mimicking its Stance Change ability from the main games.
- Aegislash starts in Shield Forme at the beginning of a match.
- After using a Charged Attack, it s witches to Blade Forme.
- It may revert to Shield Forme by blocking attacks.
You do not need to catch separate Aegislash in Pokemon GO, a single Aegislash changes forms dynamically based on the battle actions.

Since you cannot encounter a Shiny Honedge in the game, you cannot evolve it into a Shiny Doublade and Shiny Aegislash.
