Gardevoir @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Moonblast
- Psychic
- Trick
- Healing Wish

Gardevoir as a Choice Scarf Pokemon has been on the rise in RU! Its main niches over other Choice Scarf users in the tier are its ability in Trace and access to Trick and Healing Wish. Trace lets Gardevoir exploit abilities like Sheer Force from Nidoqueen, Levitate from Flygon, and Beast Boost from Xurkitree, letting Gardevoir not only check these foes more efficiently, but also boost its offensive presence considerably. Trick cripples the Steel- and Water-type walls that it cannot beat normally, while Healing Wish provides good support to powerful partners without recovery like Heracross and Incineroar. With its STAB moves, it can hit a plethora of common threats super effectively such as Flygon, Crobat, and Obstagoon. Gardevoir's Speed tier, however, is not amazing even with a Choice Scarf, being edged out by opposing Choice Scarf Pokemon like Flygon and Xurkitree. Checks to these revenge killers like Bronzong, Galarian Weezing, and Steelix are greatly appreciated.
