[OVERVIEW]
Gardevoir is one of the best late-game cleaners in the game due to its unique blend of power, speed and utility.
In the Overview, you want to generalize what the Pokemon in question accomplishes in the metagame and where it stands. You will also want to cover its drawbacks and anything else that may hold it back. This should be a pretty basic recap of the Pokemon; the Overview typically does not need to be much longer than seven or eight sentences, though of course this varies from Pokemon to Pokemon and compromises can be made.

[SET COMMENTS]
Set Details
====
Choice Scarf allows Gardevoir to blitz past fast offensive Pokemon such as Gengar, Cyclizar, and Thundurus. Moonblast hits a majority of the tier for at least neutral damage while Psychic pulverizes Poison- and Fire- type Pokemon such as Fezandipiti and Volcanion that resist Moonblast. Trick allows it to cripple its few reliable checks such Hisuian Goodra, Jirachi and Empoleon. Healing Wish allows it to bring in a battered team mate such as Okidogi for another round of terror. Gardevoir's ability in Trace makes it more terrifying, whether it is copying Levitate and Water Absorb to check Flygon and Volcanion respectively or copying Adaptibility and Regenerator from Basculegion-F and Cyclizar, making the already gruesome task of checking it much more difficult.
The Set Comments section will often consist of two paragraphs. In the first paragraph, you should go over the specifics of this set. What are the purposes of the moves, item, ability, and nature + EVs? There is no need to talk about basic STAB moves, useless abilities, or simple EV spreads like 252 / 4 / 252.
Gardevoir fits well on bulky offense and offense teams the best, benefitting from the many switch move using teammates such as Cyclizar, Noivern, Thundurus, and Jirachi.
In the second paragraph, you should talk about potential teammates and what makes them useful. Cover Pokemon that can patch up the analyzed Pokemon's weakness and mention Pokemon that benefit from the analyzed Pokemon's presence.

Other Options
====
In the Other Options paragraph, you can note any other options that are useable yet not considered viable enough to be mentioned in the Set Comments. If there are none, feel free to keep this empty. Trying to fill this paragraph with bad options for the sake of it is detrimental to the user reading the analysis's experience.
Checks and Counters
====
**Insert Threat Here**: You should describe why the Pokemon is a threat. Please do keep in mind that it is often easier to insert whole typings and then specify the Pokemon of such type that are threats; this makes it much easier to keep track of this section for the audience.
