RU Gardevoir (RU Choice Scarf) (QC 1/1) (GP 1/1)

[DurzaOffTopic]

Gardevoir @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Trace
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Psyshock
- Will-O-Wisp
- Healing Wish

Gardevoir is one of the best Choice Scarf users in RU because of its good Speed tier, good offenses, wide array of support options, and great movepool. Gardevoir has access to a plethora of viable moves, including Calm Mind, Trick, Thunderbolt, Focus Blast, and more. Moonblast is incredibly spammable, with high Base Power, a useful secondary effect, and no drawback. Trace is an incredibly useful ability, allowing for Gardevoir to take advantage of the abilities of Pokemon like Flygon, which cannot hit it Gardevoir with its STAB moves thanks to Levitate, and Bewear, which allows Gardevoir to take its hits more comfortably thanks to Fluffy. Gardevoir can fit on all types of teams, but it forms outstanding cores with Pursuit trappers like Escavalier and Sneasel, which can remove Gardevoir's most common check, Bronzong. Healing Wish allows Gardevoir to bring a teammate of choice back to full health, which can potentially save a game, and Will-O-Wisp neutralizes common switch-ins such as Escavalier. Gardevoir has some issues with breaking through special walls like Snorlax and Bronzong, but it is still an extremely threatening revenge killer that should be considered when teambuilding!

Here are some replays from RUPL showcasing Gardevoir:
