RU Gardevoir Full

[Reece]

[OVERVIEW]

Gardevoir's main niche comes from its useful utility moves in Trick and Healing Wish, which give it a notable advantage over other Choice Scarf users in the tier like Heracross, Xurkitree, and Darmanitan. Alternatively, Choice Specs lets it break past walls like Registeel and Assault Vest Reuniclus. However, Gardevoir is rather slow for a Choice Scarf user, so it can't revenge kill most other Choice Scarf users in the tier such as Darmanitan, which can easily pick it off with minimal chip damage. It struggles to directly switch into attacks, especially since its Speed can force it to take another attack before moving. Gardevoir faces competition from other Psychic-types, as Necrozma and Celebi have far more utility options, whilst Reuniclus is far more flexible in any team.

[SET COMMENTS]

Gardevoir's STAB moves cover almost everything besides Steel-types neutrally. Although Trick allows Gardevoir to cripple defensive Steel-types that resist its STAB moves, such as Registeel, Steelix, and Stakataka, Mystical Fire directly and nicely damages Metagross, Steelix, and Doublade instead. Healing Wish can support strong, frail wallbreakers like Sharpedo or defensive teammates that lack a consistent form of recovery such as Registeel or Guzzlord. Trace allows Gardevoir to copy useful abilities such as Regenerator from Reuniclus, Sheer Force from Nidoqueen and Darmanitan, Beast Boost from Stakataka and Xurkitree, Swift Swim and other-weather variants, and Levitate from Flygon, allowing Gardevoir to check it consistently.

Choice Scarf Gardevoir is a very good partner for Cobalion, Heracross, and Sharpedo, as they are all powerful wallbreakers that get worn down by chip damage, so they appreciate Healing Wish support. These wallbreakers all threaten the Steel-types that prevent Gardevoir from cleaning late-game, while Gardevoir can revenge kill threats to them such as Noivern, Flygon, and weakened Raikou. Knock Off support is essential to remove items like Assault Vest from Reuniclus, Heavy-Duty Boots from Umbreon and Incineroar, and Eviolite from Porygon2, allowing Gardevoir to break through them with Spikes support from Golisopod and Heracross. Pivots such as Cobalion, Incineroar, and Flygon can help Gardevoir get into battle safely due to its poor bulk. Defensive teammates such as Gastrodon, Registeel, and Crobat are able to switch in to Choice Scarf Xurkitree and Heracross, which threaten Gardevoir due to their greater Speed.

Gardevoir's good coverage, high Special Attack, and acceptable Speed tier make it a good Choice Specs user. Focus Blast provides crucial coverage for Steel-types that Gardevoir's STAB moves can't hit neutrally, such as Registeel, Stakataka, and Steelix. Shadow Ball hits Assault Vest Reuniclus, Metagross, and Doublade, having near-perfect coverage alongside its STAB moves and Focus Blast. Trace is the preferred ability to copy useful abilities from foes, such as Regenerator from Reuniclus, Punk Rock from Toxtricity, and Water Absorb from Volcanion.

Choice Specs Gardevoir's wallbreaking prowess can support a myriad of Pokemon that thrive late-game. This includes Xurkitree and Choice Scarf Heracross, which can bash through Steel-types to heighten Gardevoir's wallbreaking capability. Gardevoir is also quite frail, and it can struggle to safely switch into battle, meaning pivots such as Flygon, Incineroar, and Raikou are good teammates. These pivots lure in Pokemon such as Vileplume, Roserade, and Noivern, which Gardevoir can take advantage of. Spikes setters like Klefki, Roserade, and Golisopod are another very useful way to chip Steel-types, and they help teammates like Heracross and Darmanitan clean up. Knock Off support from the likes of Golisopod and Incineroar can also be useful to cripple Gardevoir's checks, as it removes Assault Vest from Reuniclus, Eviolite from Porygon2, Leftovers from Steel-types like Registeel and Metagross, and Heavy-Duty Boots from Umbreon and Incineroar.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Faster Threats and Priority**: Gardevoir lacks noticeable bulk, meaning foes like Choice Scarf Darmanitan, Flygon, and Heracross can outspeed it and KO it with minimal chip damage, and Golisopod's First Impression can also force Gardevoir out. Boosted Sucker Punch from Grimmsnarl can threaten to OHKO Gardevoir, and Life Orb Mimikyu 2HKOes it with Shadow Sneak. Choice Specs Gardevoir is additionally outsped and revenge killed by the likes of Cobalion.

**Steel-types**: Bronzong, Registeel, and Stakataka take little damage from Gardevoir's STAB moves and can force it out or set up entry hazards. However, Choice Specs-boosted Shadow Ball hinders Bronzong, while Choice Specs-boosted Focus Blast can KO Registeel and Stakataka.

**Specially Defensive Walls**: Registeel, Umbreon, and Assault Vest Reuniclus can all take advantage of Gardevoir after it locks into a move by setting entry hazards or passing Wish to other teammates, but they have to be wary of Trick. Although using Trick on Assault Vest Reuniclus prevents Gardevoir from using Healing Wish or reusing Trick, it cripples Reuniclus's special bulk.

[OVERVIEW]

Gardevoir's main niche comes from its access to useful utility moves in Trick and Healing Wish, which give it a notable advantage over other Choice Scarf users in the tier like Heracross, Xurkitree, and Darmanitan; whilst Choice Specs gives a raw power boost that lets it break past walls like Registeel and Assault Vest Reuniclus. Its noticeable lack of bulk leaves Gardevoir susceptible to being 2HKOed by the majority of the tiers neutral hits, (would rather say that the Speed tier that contributes to its inability to directly switch into most attacks safely are what limits its chances, its special bulk is actually pretty fine even uninvested) meaning that Gardevoir finds it hard to position itself aggressively. With this, Gardevoir is rather slow for a Choice Scarf user, so it can't revenge kill most other Choice Scarf users in the tier such as Flygon, (AC) which can easily pick it off with minimal chip damage. (only really true if Levitate isn't taken by Trace, and though that can happen, other examples like Darm and Heracross are easier to understand) Additionally, (spacing) setup sweepers such as Barbaracle, Cloyster, and Flygon outpace Gardevoir with a Choice Scarf after Shell Smash or Dragon Dance, making Gardevoir's revenge killing role not as reliable.

Gardevoir's STABs covers almost everything neutrally - whilst Trick allows Gardevoir to cripple defensive Steel-types that burden Gardevoir's STABs such as Registeel, Steelix, and Stakataka. Gardevoir can also use Mystical Fire over Trick in order to hit Metagross, Steelix, and Doublade super effectively. Healing Wish can be useful when paired with a strong, frail wallbreaker or a defensive teammate that lacks a consistent form of recovery such as Sharpedo. Trace allows Gardevoir to copy useful abilities such as Regenerator from Reuniclus, Storm Drain from Gastrodon, (fair example but considering Gastro itself doesn't carry a Water move that often, something like Sheer Force from Nidoqueen would be a more relevant example) and Beast Boost from Stakataka and Xurkitree as well as being a consistent Flygon check by Tracing Levitate. It also gives Gardevoir an excellent matchup against weather teams, as it can copy the Speed boosting abilities from opposing sweepers and threaten them out.

Choice Scarf Gardevoir is a very good partner for Cobalion, Heracross, and Sharpedo as they are all powerful wallbreakers that get worn down by entry hazards (lowercase) and status (specify that Healing Wish is what helps their problem of being worn down) as these wallbreakers all threaten the Steel-types that prevent Gardevoir from cleaning late-game. Gardevoir can help these Pokemon out by revenge killing threats to them, such as Choice Scarf Heracross, (Heracross is faster than Gardevoir, diff example) Flygon, and weakened Raikou. Knock Off support is important to remove Assault Vest off from Reuniclus and Heavy-Duty Boots on Umbreon or Incineroar, (typo) allowing Gardevoir to break through the aforementioned throughout the game. This is aided by Spikes support from Golisopod and Heracross whilst having Knock Off that allows it to break past bulkier foes like Eviolite Porygon-2, or whittle down Heavy-Duty Boots users Incineroar or Umbreon. (The last two sentences go from Knock Off, to Spikes, and back to Knock Off again. Maybe focus on the Knock Off aspect first, then Spikes after.) Pivots such as Cobalion, Incineroar, and Flygon can help Gardevoir get into battle safely due to its lack of bulk incompatible with offensive (lowercase) switch-ins. Having defensive teammates such as Gastrodon, Registeel or Crobat is mandatory for switchins to Choice Scarf Xurkitree and Heracross that threaten Gardevoir due to their greater speed; whilst being able to give a form of recovery to Registeel.

Spikes setters like Klefki, Roserade, and Golisopod are another very useful way to pile on the damage to Steel-types to which teammates Heracross or Pangoro (Pangoro's not usually a cleaner, diff example) can clean up. Knock Off support from the likes of Golisopod and Incineroar can also be useful, as it removes Assault Vest from Reuniclus, Eviolite from Porygon2, Leftovers from Steel-types like Registeel and Metagross, and Heavy-Duty Boots from Umbreon and Incineroar. This allows Gardevoir to make more progress against these threats, as the former two will take more damage from Gardevoir and the latter two will be more vulnerable to cumulative chip damage, therefore making it easier for Gardevoir to break past them.

Although Trick allows Gardevoir to cripple defensive Steel-types that resist its STAB moves, such as Registeel, Steelix, and Stakataka, Gardevoir can also use Mystical Fire over Trick in order to hit Mystical Fire directly and nicely damages Metagross, Steelix, and Doublade super effectively. Healing Wish can be useful when paired with a strong, frail wallbreaker or a defensive teammate that lacks a consistent form of recovery such as Sharpedo. Doublade instead. Healing Wish can support strong, frail wallbreakers like Sharpedo, or defensive teammates that lack a consistent form of recovery. (maybe give a defensive example? idk) Trace allows Gardevoir to copy useful abilities such as Regenerator from Reuniclus, Sheer Force from Nidoqueen or and Darmanitan, Beast Boost from Stakataka and Xurkitree, Swift Swim and other-weather variants, and Levitate from Flygon, allowing Gardevoir to check it consistently, and Speed-boosting abilities activated by weather, such as Swift Swim.

Choice Scarf Gardevoir is a very good partner for Cobalion, Heracross, and Sharpedo, as they are all powerful wallbreakers that get worn down by chip damage, which so they appreciate Healing Wish support. These wallbreakers all threaten the Steel-types that prevent Gardevoir from cleaning late-game, while Gardevoir can help these Pokemon out by revenge killing revenge kill threats to them, such as Noivern, Flygon, and weakened Raikou. Knock Off support is essential to remove items like Assault Vest from Reuniclus, (AC) and Heavy-Duty Boots from Umbreon or Incineroar, and Eviolite from Porygon2, allowing Gardevoir to break through them. Knock Off also allows it to break past bulkier foes like Eviolite Porygon2 and Heavy-Duty Boots users like Incineroar or Umbreon aided by them with Spikes support from Golisopod and Heracross. (make sure this sentence still makes sense) Pivots such as Cobalion, Incineroar, (removed underline on Incineroar E) and Flygon can help Gardevoir get into battle safely due to its poor bulk. Having Defensive teammates such as Gastrodon, Registeel, or and Crobat are able to switch in to Choice Scarf Xurkitree and Heracross, as they which threaten Gardevoir due to their greater Speed.

Gardevoir's good coverage, high Special Attack, and acceptable Speed tier make it a good Choice Specs user in the tier. Focus Blast provides crucial coverage for Steel-types that aren't hit neutrally by Gardevoir's STAB moves, Gardevoir's STAB moves can't hit neutrally, such as Registeel, Stakataka, and Steelix. Shadow Ball hits Assault Vest Reuniclus, Metagross, and Doublade, having near-perfect coverage alongside its STAB moves and Focus Blast. Trace is the preferred ability to copy useful abilities from foes, (AC) such as Regenerator from Reuniclus, Punk Rock from Toxtricity, and Water Absorb from Volcanion.

Choice Specs Gardevoir's wallbreaking prowess can be taken advantage of by support a myriad of Pokemon that thrive late-game. This includes Pokemon such as Xurkitree and Choice Scarf Heracross, which are capable of bashing through Steel-types, which is important for Xurkitree and Choice Scarf Heracross, which can bash through Steel-types to heighten Gardevoir's wallbreaking capability. Gardevoir is also quite frail, and it can struggle to safely switch into battle, meaning pivots such as Flygon, Incineroar, and Raikou are good teammates that are capable of bringing Gardevoir in safely. These pivots lure in Pokemon such as Vileplume, Roserade, and Noivern, which Gardevoir can take advantage of. Spikes setters like Klefki, Roserade, and Golisopod are another very useful way to chip Steel-types, so and they help (I didn't understand the "so" linking here; if these two clauses should connect with "so", there should probably be some clarification, since hera/darm are strong against Steel-types even if the Steel-types are not chipped) teammates like Heracross or and Darmanitan can clean up. Knock Off support from the likes of Golisopod and Incineroar can also be useful to cripple Gardevoir's checks, (I imagine?) as it removes Assault Vest from Reuniclus, Eviolite from Porygon2, Leftovers from Steel-types like Registeel and Metagross, and Heavy-Duty Boots from Umbreon and Incineroar. This allows Gardevoir to make more progress against these threats, as the former two will take more damage from Gardevoir, and the latter two will be more vulnerable to chip damage, therefore making it easier for Gardevoir to break past them.

Other Options
=============

Choice Scarf Gardevoir can run Memento to let offensive teammates such as Barbaracle or and Cloyster set up on offensive teams. Teleport is good when paired with a wallbreaker that threatens Steel-types, as Gardevoir has a tendency to lure them in. Choice Specs Gardevoir with Mystical Fire over Focus Blast hits Klefki harder than, and is more accurate than Focus Blast, and gives more accuracy, but the power loss is very notable, with it failing to 2HKO Registeel and OHKO Steelix after Sturdy is broken.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Faster Threats and Priority**: Gardevoir lacks noticeable bulk, meaning foes like Choice Scarf Darmanitan, Flygon, and Heracross can outspeed it and KO it with minimal chip damage, while and Golisopod's First Impression can also force Gardevoir out. Boosted Sucker Punch from Grimmsnarl can threaten to OHKO Gardevoir, and Life Orb Mimikyu also 2HKOes it with Shadow Sneak. Gardevoir is more prone to being revenged killed by the likes of Cobalion as well when using Choice Specs as an item. Choice Specs Gardevoir is additionally outsped and revenge killed by the likes of Cobalion. (I imagine this makes sense?)

**Steel-types**: Bronzong, Registeel, and Stakataka take little damage from Gardevoir's STAB moves and can force it out or set up entry hazards. However, Bronzong can be hindered by Choice Specs Shadow Ball, while Registeel and Stakataka can be KOed by Choice Specs Focus Blast. Choice Specs Shadow Ball hinders Bronzong, while Choice Specs Focus Blast can KO Registeel and Stakataka.

**Specially Defensive Walls**: Registeel, Umbreon, and Assault Vest Reuniclus can all take advantage of Gardevoir after it is Choice-locked it locks into a move by setting up entry hazards or by passing Wish to other teammates, although they have to be wary of Trick. Although using Trick on an Assault Vest Reuniclus prevents Gardevoir from using Healing Wish or reusing Trick, it can remove Reuniclus' cripples Reuniclus's special bulk.

[OVERVIEW]

Gardevoir's main niche comes from its useful utility moves in Trick and Healing Wish, which give it a notable advantage over other Choice Scarf users in the tier like Heracross, Xurkitree, and Darmanitan. Alternatively, Choice Specs lets it break past walls like Registeel and Assault Vest Reuniclus. However, Gardevoir is rather slow for a Choice Scarf user, so it can't revenge kill most other Choice Scarf users in the tier such as Darmanitan, which can easily pick it off with minimal chip damage. It struggles to directly switch into attacks, especially since its Speed can force it to take another attack before moving. Gardevoir faces competition from other Psychic-types, as Necrozma and Celebi have far more utility options, whilst Reuniclus is far more flexible in any team.
