Mega Gardevoir as a Check
Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite
Ability: Trace ---> Pixilate
EVs: 24 Def / 232 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hyper Voice
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast
- Calm Mind / Taunt / Will-O-Wisp / Substitute / filler
M-Gardevoir is a very peculiar check as it'll only work once. Gardevoir, before it MegaEvolves, can switch into one of Kingdra's Dragon-type moves (or on a free switch), Trace Swift Swim, MegaEvolve, outspeed (due to the base form being slightly faster than Kingdra) and OHKO with Hyper Voice. If Kingdra isn't in the rain, then Mega Gardevoir can come on it multiple times (on Dragon-type moves or via a free switch) before outspeeding and OHKOing Kingdra without much trouble.
