[OVERVIEW]
**Fairy**:
+ Can check Poison-Types bar Skuntank and Drapion with its STAB Psyshock.
+ Has access to some support moves that other Fairies don't get such as Destiny Bond and Will-O-Wisp.
+ Amazingly good 165 SpAtk which along with Pixilate makes Mega Gardevoir a hard hitting wallbreaker.
+ Decent Base 100 Speed which is faster than most Fairies which allows it to not be dead weight against offensive teams
+ Great offensive move pool with access to moves like Shadow Ball, Focus Blast, and Energy Ball which can allow it to deal super effective damage or at least neutral damage to all sorts of different types.
- Its pitiful 68 HP and decent base speed of 100 leaves it weak to faster revenge killers and priority, most notably Bullet Punch.
- Steel-Types can switch in onto nearly all of Mega Gardevoir's attacks and force it to switch out, one thing to note is that Mega Scizor can Pursuit trap Mega Gardevoir.
**Type Two**:
Generalize what the Pokemon does in the metagame and as a whole and why you should or shouldn't consider using it on your teams.

Moves
========
- Hyper Voice and Psyshock give Mega Gardevoir her two STAB moves, one being more used than the other. Hyper Voice is very spammable move after mega evolving due to it turning into a Fairy-Type Base 117 STAB attack which deals great damage even to resists bar Heatran. Psyshock allows Mega Gardevoir to hit dedicated special walls like Chansey on their weaker Defense which can allow Mega Gardevoir to break through them.
- Focus Blast grants Mega Gardevoir Fighting coverage to hit the Steel-Types that resist both of Gardevoir's STABs like Ferrothorn, Heatran, and Excadrill.
- Taunt allows Mega Gardevoir to beat Chansey, Porygon2, and Mew 1v1 by preventing them from using Soft-Boiled, Recover, and Roost respectively. Will-O-Wisp can be used to burn Steel-Types on the switch in allowing Mega Gardevoir to handle them much more easier. Substitute makes Mega Gardevoir much harder to revenge kill, protects it from status, and eases predictions.
Set Details
========
- Trace is the preferred ability as it allows Gardevoir to make use of the opponent's ability against them before mega evolving such as tracing Heatran's Flash Fire to counter specially defensive variants lacking Flash Cannon, intimidating Landorus-T and Gyarados, and preventing Manectric from using its STAB with Lightning Rod.
- Trace can also allow Mega Gardevoir to revenge kill Swift Swim, Chlorophyll, and Sand Rush pokemon such as Excadrill and Kingdra.
- The 16 HP and 8 Defense EV investment allows Mega Gardevoir to avoid the 2HKO from Latios' Life Orb Psyshock, 252 Speed EVs and Timid Nature allows Mega Gardevoir speed tie with other positive natured Base 100s such as Mega Medicham and non-Choice Scarf Jirachi. The final 232 EVs are placed into Special Attack allowing Mega Gardevoir to still hit hard even without having max investment.
Usage Tips
========
- This set works best versus balanced and stall monos, destroying them with Mega Gardevoir's STAB Hyper Voice, defeating dedicated special walls with Taunt and Psyshock, along with nailing most Steel-Types super effectively with Focus Blast.
- Mega Gardevoir can prove useful against nearly any mono with the proper coverage as most monos lack a resistance to it. The only mono that can cause Mega Gardevoir problems are Steel Mono, as Mega Scizor can defeat her with Technician-boosted Bullet Punch, Scarf Jirachi can outspeed and OHKO with Iron Head, and Doublade can force her to switch out due to Doublade resisting or being immune to all of Mega Gardevoir's moves.
- Most times, Mega Gardevoir wants to avoid staying in with physical attackers as most can OHKO it, examples of these include Mega Scizor and Scarf Jirachi, Scarf Landorus-T and Sand Rush Excadrill ( after mega evolving), and Darmanitan and Entei. However, Mega Gardevoir's decent Special Defense allows it to switch in onto special attackers such as Keldeo and Thundurus.
Team Options
========
- Hazards can help Mega Gardevoir wall break as hazards give Mega Gardevoir the ability to OHKO or 2HKO most things it couldn't previously such as Chansey and Porygon2. Clefable and Klefki are good examples of Fairy-Type hazard setters.
- Klefki's and Clefable's Thunder Wave can help slow down the opposing team, allowing Mega Gardevoir outspeed things like Choice Scarf Jirachi, Gengar, and Darmanitan in which would be able to outspeed Mega Gardevoir and OHKO it.
- Choice Band Azumarill's wall breaking capabilities makes it a great partner as it can break apart dedicated special walls for Mega Gardevoir while Mega Gardevoir breaks physical walls for Azumarill.
- Klefki can provide Gardevoir Thunder Wave support and as well as being able to set up screens for Mega Gardevoir. Klefki can also set up Spikes which can help wear down walls that can wall Mega Gardevoir like Chansey and Porygon2. Klefki also is immune to Poison-Type moves allowing it to switch into said moves for Mega Gardevoir.

Other Options
=============
**Fairy**:
- Psychic can be used over Psyshock for more damage output however Psychic is inferior to Psyshock as Psyshock can hit Chansey and Porygon2 much harder than Psychic can.
- Hidden Power Fire can be used to hit Mega Scizor, Jirachi, and Skarmory for super effective damage however Focus Blast does more in the long run and allows Mega Gardevoir to hit Heatran while Hidden Power Fire leaves Mega Gardevoir countered by Heatran.
- Calm Mind can be used to make Mega Gardevoir hit even harder however Mega Gardevoir's frailness usually leaves unable to set up Calm Mind.
- Shadow Ball can be used to hit Jirachi and Victini however that is all Shadow Ball hits rendering it far less superior than Focus Blast.
**Type Two**:
List some options for the Pokemon user that are plausible but not always recommended due to being either not consistent enough or too outclassed by other Pokemon in the metagame.
Checks and Counters
===================
**Fairy**:
- Steel-Types such as Jirachi, Mega Scizor, and Heatran can switch into all of Mega Gardevoir's attacks bar Focus Blast and force Gardevoir to switch. However, all must be wary of Focus Blast and some must be wary of Will-O-Wisp.
- Even though Psyshock hits most Poison-Types for Mega Gardevoir, faster Poison-Types such as Gengar and Choice Scarf Nidoking can deal heavy damage or KO Mega Gardevoir if they get a free switch in.
- Most Fire-Types like Victini can switch in onto all of Mega Gardevoir's attacks bar Shadow Ball and proceed to KO it, Heatran, who can live one Focus Blast and proceed to hit Mega Gardevoir with Flash Cannon.
