Aegislash gets my first vote 'cuz it's a pokemon I wanted to use (interesting concept), but never get around to training one.

Trevenant gets my second vote 'cuz it was a pokemon I considered using if a third game for XY became a thing.

Aegislash gets my first vote 'cuz it's a pokemon I wanted to use (interesting concept), but never get around to training one.

Trevenant gets my second vote 'cuz it was a pokemon I considered using if a third game for XY became a thing.

Hooray! We're on the same page 

While Xatu has a very unique name and The Alolan Marowak is quite menacing and cool looking, I'll prefer the other two contenders, Aegislash and Trevenant, both Ghost types.

Aegislash is one of my main ace on the team with high offensive/defensive capabilities according to its form, plus Its design is nifty, with a mixture of royalty and spiritual elements, It also has a unique and useful move, Kings Shield which allows it to switch to defense form and block an attack. A lagging tail works well here....

Trevenant has a cool design, with one shiny red eye and black shattered parts on its body to add its spooky theme

Aegislash and Marowak-A got votes, although I haven't exactly used them too much. Well, the latter hasn't been used, but I do have an Aegislash (albeit one that I haven't trained properly [as far as Smogon cares anyway]).

 

Xatu is meh (yes, I know Cow linked it to me at one point, but it's just there). At least I can make a Samoan reference about it, given origin (but going to abstain from that). Neutral on Trevenant (I know some people traded them over WT a couple times).

Tbf, Xatu never appealed to me, and whilst Alolan Marowak has a cool design, I couldn't find a reason to use it when I planned my Sun/Moon teams.

Only thing Xatu really has is that it's named for the first man(bar the added X) to exist in Samoa/Fiji (and somewhat references Pacific Islanders), but only the former mentions this fact explicitly. That's about it (I guess it's a slight bulker Magic Bounce user if Espeon is too much of a liability for its own purposes).

Trevenant's concept is really great.

Meanwhile I've used Alolan Marowak on my main Showdown team and it's done a lot of good for me.

[Sethera]

I had Aegislash on my main team, though it almost seemed too powerful. Made things too easy, I guess. So my opinion on it is largely neutral.

Xatu is cool, though I admit to bias from the PMD games. Forgot which one has Xatu, I think the first one? Either way, it's a pretty cool concept. A future-seer.

Alolan Marowak has done well for me in Moon. I ended up deciding to breed Cubone for an adamant nature, and forgot to put the Eviolite on the mother, so the first baby ended up bold. It also ended up shiny. However, after giving him Thick Club, his nature didn't matter anymore. I keep wanting to name him Barney for his coloring, though.

Aegislash gets my vote dor this one. The most practical of the bunch, and the most interesting-looking for me, being an autonomous sword ghost. The others I do admittedly find interesting in their own way, but out of all of them, Aegislash is the one I'd use the most. I like King's Shield, its ability, Swords Dance, and Shadow Sneak on top of that.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Well, Aegislash and Marowak-A both tied for the lead so they're moving on together.
