Which of Gardevoir, Togekiss, or Galarian Rapidash is best for a Shield playthrough?

Question

So umm, I'm currently playing through Shield and pre-planned 5/6 of my team. I decided on a fairy type for the last member, but can't decide on which of Togekiss, Gardevoir, or Galarian Rapidash is more useful on my team.

You get a free Toxel from the Daycare, which you can trade for a Togepi in Hammerlocke. Togepi is annoying to evolve due to terrible stats, Friendship, and a Shiny Stone, but Togekiss is the best of the three you mentioned.

Gardevoir is slightly worse than Togekiss, but easier to level up. Only use Galarian Rapidash if you don't like using good Pokemon.

Answer 1

My answer would be Togekiss. Togekiss has better abilities(not Hustle), and more rounded out stats.

Gardevoir would be good too, but Galarian Raidash isn't that good. As a physical attacking Fairy type, it doesn't have much going for it, besides speed.

Gardevoir like I said isn't bad, but in this situation, Togekiss would be better. It's more defensive, has good coverage moves, and can use it's SP.ATK stat well, with moves like Air Slash, Aura Sphere, and Dazzling Gleam.

Hope this was helpful!
