Stance Change Aegislash

Truly unique card. Been waiting for it to come out just so I could propose some questions.

First of all, I believe since the name is Aegislash, you can only have 4 copies in a deck, right? So either 2 Attack form (85) and 2 Shield Form (86), 1 85 and 3 85, etc.

Next, concerning the print of stance change. Particularly concerning print 86 with King's Shield. States that "this Pokemon" cannot use King's Shield next turn. But with Stance Change, can't you just switch it with another print of King's Shield and then use it again? I know that PLF Kyurem can use Blizzard Burn again when you use it in cooperation with Keldeo EX's ability. Would the same ruling dictate that Aegislash would then count as a different Pokemon or does it have to be removed from the active spot first? I'm basically asking if you can spam King's Shield by continuously switching copies of print 86. (Not a likely strategy, since N and Red Card exist, just an interesting one, if possible).
 
Right, they all have the same name, so you are limited to 4 total.

No, the text specifically says that all effect on the Pokemon remain. If that text wasn't there, what you propose would work.
But they put that text on the card for exactly this reason (as well as retaining other effects like Poison, of course).
