Strategy Overview

With access to Hyper Voice, Gardevoir has received new relevance in Battle Spot Doubles as a strong and powerful Mega Evolution with good typing and decent stats. With two excellent abilities in Trace and Telepathy, Gardevoir can use similar sets that can work very differently on completely separate teams, and it can work outside of its Mega forme, utilizing different strategies for each variation. Unfortunately, its base 65 Defense and base 68 HP make Gardevoir incredibly physically frail. But with the strongest Fairy-type move in the game and three excellent abilities, it can wreak havoc on teams unprepared for the dressed destroyer.
