Strategy Overview
Gardevoir is one of the best offensive Psychic-types in the NU metagame. It stands out with its superb Special Attack stat and amazing ability, Trace, combined with a wide range of coverage options that make it a force to be reckoned with. It also has some support moves, such as Healing Wish, Memento, and Destiny Bond, that add to its usefulness and give it utility to help its team. In addition, it can also run unorthodox options such as Will-O-Wisp to cripple its would-be answers such as Mandibuzz or Skuntank. Do keep in mind, however, that Gardevoir is incredibly frail, and thus despite its versatility and usefulness, it cannot check the ever prominent Fighting-types as well as bulkier Psychic-types such as Duosion and Musharna. However, Gardevoir is an incredibly threatening and offensive Pokemon and is very much worth using if you need good offensive firepower or utility.
