[OVERVIEW]
Fairy
========
Gardevoir is a great revenge killer on Fairy teams because of its high Special Attack, Psychic-type STAB moves to deal with Poison-types, and support options in Healing Wish and Trick. Trace allows Gardevoir to check weather sweepers like Swift Swim Kingdra and Sand Rush Excadrill. However, due to its lackluster Speed for a revenge killer, faster Pokemon like Choice Scarf Terrakion and Choice Scarf Victini can outspeed and OHKO it. Its poor Defense leaves it vulnerable to any physical attack. Despite its high Special Attack, Gardevoir has a hard time getting rid of specially defensive Pokemon like Chansey and Jirachi.

[SET COMMENTS]
Psychic helps with Poison- and Fire-types like Mega Venusaur, Nidoking, and Mega Charizard Y. Focus Blast targets Steel-types like Excadrill, Magnezone, Empoleon, and Skarmory. Healing Wish is a nice utility move that brings a teammate like Mega Diancie or Clefable back to full health. Trick can be used to cripple walls like Chansey and Zapdos. Choice Scarf allows Gardevoir to outspeed Pokemon like Thundurus, Keldeo, and Nidoking. Trace has many uses, such as checking weather sweepers like Excadrill and Mega Swampert and gaining immunities from Pokemon like Heatran.
All of Gardevoir's teammates appreciate it to revenge kill threats like Choice Scarf Magnezone and Nidoking and provide Healing Wish support. Mega Diancie can set Stealth Rock to help Gardevoir pick up KOs and can get rid of Bug-, Fire-, and Flying-types like Volcarona, Mega Charizard Y, Tornadus-T, and Zapdos. Clefable is an alternative Stealth Rock setter that can use Babiri Berry + Fire Blast to survive a hit from and take out Choice Scarf Excadrill and Mega Scizor. It also has useful utility moves like Knock Off and Calm Mind. Togekiss can also use Babiri Berry + Fire Blast to take out the aforementioned Steel-types and break through walls like Porygon2 with Nasty Plot. Azumarill can revenge kill faster Pokemon like Choice Scarf Excadrill and +1 Volcarona, sweep through Ground and Fire teams with Aqua Jet + Belly Drum, and muscle past specially defensive walls like Chansey that Gardevoir struggles to break through. It also provides Knock Off support to get rid of items like Eviolite from Pokemon like Porygon2 and Chansey. Klefki makes for a great support teammate because of its access to dual screens, Spikes, Thunder Wave, and Foul Play, and its part-Steel typing provides a neutrality to Steel and an immunity to Poison. Whimsicott's Grass typing allows it to come in on and force out Landorus and certain Water-types like Mega Swampert and Rotom-W that Gardevoir cannot immediately take out. It also has many support moves like U-turn to give Gardevoir opportunities to come in, Stun Spore to slow down faster threats like Choice Scarf Excadrill, and Knock Off. Sylveon is a powerful wallbreaker that can muscle past walls like Zapdos and Gastrodon that Gardevoir can't get past easily.

Other Options
=============
Fairy
--------
Psyshock is an alternative over Psychic to hit specially defensive Pokemon like Tentacruel for more damage. Energy Ball can be used to KO Water / Ground Pokemon like Mega Swampert and Gastrodon. Shadow Ball is an option to hit Psychic-types such as Jirachi and Victini. Choice Specs is an option for more power, but Gardevoir's role as Fairy's best revenge killer makes it difficult to replace Choice Scarf.
Checks and Counters
===================
Fairy
--------
**Specially Defensive Pokemon**: Special walls like Jirachi, Chansey, and Zapdos can tank all of Gardevoir's attacks and wear it down. However, they do need to be wary of Trick.
**Paralysis**: Paralysis cripples Gardevoir's Speed, making it extremely susceptible to offensive threats.
**Revenge Killers**: Faster Pokemon like Choice Scarf Darmanitan and +1 Mega Sharpedo can outspeed Gardevoir and OHKO it. Priority users like Bisharp, Diggersby, and Mega Scizor can weaken it due to its poor Defense.
**Residual Damage**: Status ailments in poison and burn as well as entry hazards reduce Gardevoir's longevity.
