Doublade (JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Steel-type/Ghost-type Pokémon that made its first appearance in the sixth generation games X and Y. It evolves from Honedge at level 35 and into Aegislash with a Dusk Stone.

Physiology and Behaviour[]

Doublade is a Pokémon composed of two swords. Each sword has a silver blade and a light gray hilt. Embedded in each hilt is a single, pink gem with a dark center that appears to be an eye. Attached to each pummel is a long, dark purple sash with a pink swirl pattern on the tip; the tip of the sashes split into four tassels. Doublade has two sheathes that are attached to a plaque. The sheathes are varying shades of brown with lines forming a triquetra pattern across the front. Near the top of each sheath are white teeth-like markings and rings with white centers that resemble eyes. A third ring extends onto the hilt and encircles the actual eye.

The swords are able to communicate telepathically, and they use this ability to carry out complex attacks that are unstoppable even by those skilled at swordplay. When rubbing its two blades together, Doublade can emit a metallic sound that is unnerving to the opponents.

Origin and inspiration[]

Doublade and the rest of its evolutionary line are based off the concept of sentient magical swords. The arrangement of the two swords connected by a shield is reminiscent of a coat of arms.

The swords resemble either spatha, claymore or jian swords with their own scabbards and a tassel-like limb. The fact that the Pokémon originated as a simple sword as a Honedge and changed into something so fancy could be following mythos of Bushido and katana, which had katanas possess their user's soul and attacked of their own free will.

Name Origin[]

Doublade is a combination of double and blade.
