Psychic-STAB, good power, compliments high SP.ATK

Shadow ball- Deal with Ghost weakness

Reflect-Helps defense

Thunderbolt-High power, unexpected, can deal with bulky water types. (many give it grass knot or energy ball)

Dang 47 seconds too late!!
It's like pokemon red/blue, your rival is always one step ahead, lol.
I don't know how he got 40 Pokemon on his Pokedex by SS. Anne and still got ahead of us.
but psychic is also super effective and what about dark types?

Here is a Gen V lead I made. It's mainly for countering stealth rock leads a few common OU Gimmicks.

Psychic/Psyshock-STAB; whichever you think will help you more.

Magic Coat-Deflects entry hazards or any other bad stuff. Great for Ferrothorn and foretress.

Hidden power [fire]-Deals with ferrothorn, Scizor, foretress, Genesect, and other stuff; mainly deals with bug weakness.

thunderbolt- Coverage; deals with Skarmory or shell break Cloyster & Omastar.

Gardevoir @ Choice Scarf

Trait: Trace

EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

Modest Nature (+SpA, -Atk)

  • Psychic

  • Destiny Bond

Psychic is good STAB and hits Poison-types.
Thunderbolt is good for hitting Waters and and Flyers also is a good move overall.
Shadow Ball hits Ghosts and Psychics.
Scarfed Destiny Bond can give something a Nasty Surprise.

Gardevoir

I got an epic combo for Gardevoir here.

Gardevoir @ Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 Spe/ 252 Def/ 4 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spe,-Atk)

  • Mean Look
  • Encore
  • Torment/ Disable
  • Psychic

First, use Mean Look. The opponent won't be able to escape anymore. Use Encore then the next turn, if you manage to survive, use Torment or Disable. The foe will now use Struggle and will not be able to escape. You have managed yourself an automatic KO! In the third moveslot, Torment is recommended because Disable doesn't hit Ghosties. Psychic is there so you are not a Taunt bait.

answered Jul 9, 2012 by JirachiCelebiMew
If you manage to survive is a key point here. Most should be able to 2HKO this Gardevoir if not OHKO.
Why not give it focus sash?
Where does it say that disable does not work on Ghosts??
Still a 2HKO with Focus Sash.
Disable works on Ghost? Really?
I know Disable is normal, but it is a status, not an attack.

Triple/Double battle utility

Ability: Telepathy

Heal Pulse -heals the acual attackers

Wish/Reflect -wish combos with ally switch pretty well, while reflect boosts the teams defense

Ally Switch/Telekinesis -ally switch lets gardivoir take a hit for a teammate(which with these ev's, it should be able to take the hit) and gives them a wish, it could also be very confusing for your opponent, or telekinesis makes the opponent easier to hit

Psychic -your not total taunt bait

252 Defense - helps with that subpar defense

126 SpDefense - boosts that already stelar SpDef

126 Speed - makes sure that you can go to work before something bad happens

4 HP -just because

I have no clue what item to use

Bulky sweeper

Trait: Trace
EVs: 200 HP / 200 Def / 108 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Will-O-Wisp
- Calm Mind
- Stored Power
- Shadow Ball


WoW effectively doubles your defense, along with calm mind, it makes you a bulky offensive force with stored power. Shadow Ball is coverage.

Gardevior
Trait: Synchronize
Item: None?/ Odd Incense
Nature: Careful

Hypnosis: Puts enemy to sleep
Dream Eater: Good for healing, or damaging, if needed
Phsychic: Chance To lower Sp. Defense
Calm mind: Depending on the pokemon's moves, this will help alot

This Gardevior is meant to assassinate enemy's :D
With this moveset, Gardevior is completely vulnerable to Dark-Type's, So watch where you battle!
