With Pixilate-boosted Hyper Voice and an incredible Special Attack stat, Mega Gardevoir is one of the tier's most effective stallbreakers, able to threaten many defensive staples like Ting-Lu with its STAB moves and rip through neutral and even resistant targets like Clefable and Skarmory. However, Mega Gardevoir faces competition from Enamorus as a wallbreaker and other Fairy-types with more defensive utility like Tapu Fini. Psyshock allows Mega Gardevoir to do decent damage to Blissey and also threatens Pokemon that resist Hyper Voice, like Mega Venusaur. Mystical Fire hits the Steel-types that resist both of its STAB moves, such as Celesteela and Aegislash. These three moves make Mega Gardevoir a potent threat on its own, so the fourth slot can be changed to whatever suits the team best. Teleport takes advantage of the many switches Mega Gardevoir forces thanks to its high power, letting it pivot out of checks like Celesteela and Chansey and bring out Pokemon like Magnezone that can trap the former, and Pokemon like Choice Band Bisharp and Choice Band Tyranitar that can Pursuit trap both. Taunt prevents status and recovery moves from Pokemon like Chansey. Calm Mind is another great option against defensive teams, as it takes advantage of these slower structures by boosting up its Special Attack. This allows it to break through foes that would normally stop it, notably being able to 2HKO the likes of Chansey and Celesteela after a boost. Mega Gardevoir commonly finds itself on offensive teams that appreciate a strong wallbreaker, such as teams with VoltTurn cores, as these teams may struggle to properly break stall and bulkier teams. However, Mega Gardevoir can struggle against specially defensive Pokemon like Chansey, Celesteela, and Jirachi. Chansey is able to poison Mega Gardevoir lacking Taunt, and defensive Celesteela and Jirachi can both take a hit and retaliate with Heavy Slam and Iron Head, respectively. Mega Gardevoir greatly appreciates help from strong physical attackers like Iron Hands, Galarian Zapdos, and Victini and good entry hazard setters, such as Ting-Lu, Swampert, and Kleavor, to pressure these Pokemon. Pokemon like Thundurus-T that can pressure its aforementioned checks with special attacks are also great teammates. Mega Gardevoir's Speed also leaves it susceptible to being picked off by Choice Scarf Galarian Zapdos, Iron Moth, Mega Aerodactyl, and Excadrill in sand, making Ting-Lu and Rotom-W great defensive partners. In return, Mega Gardevoir can threaten the bulky cores that these Pokemon may struggle to break apart.

Mega Gardevoir is a very potent wallbreaker with strong Pixilate boosted Hyper Voices Fine intro, but would be more specific. Mention high special attack, what targets it hits/why its hard to wall. Psyshock allows it to do decent damage to Chansey and also threaten Pokemon that may switch in resist Hyper Voice, like Mega Venusaur and Toxapex. Mystical Fire allows Gardevoir to hit the steel types that would otherwise resist both STABs, such as Celesteela and Aegislash. These 3 moves make Gardevoir a potent threat on its own, so the 4th slot can be changed to whatever suits the team best. Since Gardevoir is such a potent threat, Teleport allows you to gain momentum as Gardevoir threatens big damage and can bring in another Pokemon that threatens said switchin Very generic explanation, would mention specifically what is problematic (Chansey/Steela/Reuniclus) and that Teleport brings in Pursuit trappers or Magnezone to trap them. Taunt prevents recovery moves from Pokemon like Chansey and Toxapex Toxapex rarely is staying in to Recover because of Psyshock, so might be worth including a different option or mentioning that it stops Toxic. Calm Mind is another great option against slower teams as it abuses these slower structures by boosting up its special attack. This allows it to break through what would normally stop it, notably being able to 2HKO the likes of Chansey and Celesteela. Before talking about what it struggles against, discuss what teams Gardevoir is found on. Gardevoir can struggle against specially defensive Pokemon like Chansey and Celesteela Given that Mgarde can 2HKO them after a boost, it might be worth explaining why it struggles, i.e. Toxic for Chansey and Heavy Slam for Steela. Also could mention Jirachi as another Pokemon that it can struggle with. Gardevoir greatly appreciates help from strong physical attacking pokemon like Iron Hands, Cinderace, Victini and Iron Hands and good hazard setters to pressure these mons, like Ting-Lu, Hippowdown and Skarmory. Pokemon like Thundurus-Therian who can also pressure these mons from the special side are also great teammates. Gardevoir's other issue is its speed. 100 base speed isn't bad, but also leaves it susceptible to faster Pokemon picking if off on its weaker physical defense. Gardevoir appreciates Pokemon like aforementioned Ting-Lu and Skarmory who can stave off these faster physical threats What threats specifically?, allowing Gardevoir to stay in the game longer to punch holes in the opponents team.

Pivot support should be mentioned given that MGarde can't exactly switch directly in easily. Potentially also worth mentioning that MGarde is the best stallbreaker in the tier, but not necessary. Also M-Garde is C-Tier. Explain why it isn't used more and what makes it rank so low.

Fine analysis, lacks specifics. Once implemented I will recheck, then you'll be 1/1.

Mega Gardevoir is a very potent wallbreaker with strong Pixilate boosted Hyper Voices combined with a high special attack This still lacks specifics. For example, this or this analysis provide excellent examples of what an introduction should look like. With Pixilate-boosted Hyper Voices and an incredible Special Attack, Mega-Gardevoir is one of the tier's most effective stallbreakers, able to threaten many defensive staples like Ting Lu and Toxapex with its dual STAB and rip through neutral targets and even resists like Clefable or Skarmory I think something like this encapsulates Mega Gardevoir's main niche and power, feel free to edit it however. It preys on most non-resists to its STAB, such as Clefable and the many Pokemon vulnerable to its STABs, such as Ting-Lu and Toxapex This sentence is a bit unecessary, it can be removed once you improve the intro. Be sure to include a sentence on Hyper Voice. Psyshock allows it to do decent damage to Chansey Blissey Chansey only takes 30, Blissey takes much more so is better to mention and also threaten Pokemon that resist Hyper Voice, like Mega Venusaur and Toxapex. Mystical Fire allows Gardevoir to hit the steel Steel-types that would otherwise resist both STABs, such as Celesteela and Aegislash. These 3 moves make Gardevoir a potent threat on its own, so the 4th slot can be changed to whatever suits the team best. Since Gardevoir is such a potent threat, Teleport allows you to gain momentum as Gardevoir threatens big damage and can bring in another Pokemon that threatens said switchin such as Chansey and Celesteela. This allows you to bring in trappers such as Magnezone and Pokemon that threaten it on the physical side, such as Victini , Iron Hands, or Zapdos-Galar Choice Band Bisharp The main point of Teleport is for Pursuit, so Bisharp and potentially CB Ttar are better mentions here. Taunt prevents recovery moves from Pokemon like Chansey and can also stop Chansey from toxicing it using Toxic. Calm Mind is another great option against slower teams as it abuses these slower structures by boosting up its special attack. This allows it to break through what would normally stop it, notably being able to 2HKO the likes of Chansey and Celesteela. Gardevoir can be found most commonly on balance teams, however, it could work on some offenses This isn't entirely true. Gardevoir generaly fits on more offensive styles that appreciate a wallbreaker, stuff like Volt-Turn. Obviously with Cinderace gone Volt-Turn looks different but I would still argue that it fits more on offensive than balance teams. Gardevoir fills the role of a strong breaker that breaks stall very proficiently. I would add this to the previous sentence, noting how offence teams that want a stallbreaker might use Gardevoir However, Gardevoir can struggle against specially defensive Pokemon like Chansey,Celesteela and Jirachi. Chansey is able to Toxic non-Taunt Gardevoir, Celesteela can take a hit and retaliate with a Heavy Slam, and Jirachi can do the same, albeit with Iron Head or crippling it with a Thunder Wave. Gardevoir greatly appreciates help from strong physical attacking pokemon like Iron Hands,Zapdos-Galar, Victini and Iron Hands Iron Hands twice? and good hazard setters to pressure these mons, like Ting-Lu, Hippowdown and Skarmory Given Mgarde fits more on offensive teams, try and find better examples that fit on Volt-Turn. Swampert for example. Pokemon like Thundurus-Therian Thundurus-T who can also pressure these mons from the special side are also great teammates Sorry for not mentioning this last time, but you need to emphasize what Gardevoir does for all of these in return.. Gardevoir's other issue is its speed. 100 base speed isn't bad, but also leaves it susceptible to faster Pokemon picking if off on its weaker physical defense. This sentence is not great, its better to say something like "Mega Gardevoir's Speed leaves it susceptible to x y z making partners like a b c good options". Gardevoir appreciates Pokemon like aforementioned Ting-Lu and Skarmory As previously mentioned, you don't usually see MGarde on Balance/Fat. Ting Lu is fine because its often seen on offense, but Skarm isn't the best example who can stave off these faster physical threats like Scarf Zapdos-Galar, Aerodactyl-Mega, and Scizor, allowing Gardevoir to stay in the game longer to punch holes in the opponents team. However, Gardevoir is still not a top tier Pokemon as it takes up the mega slot, which means you cannot use the best Pokemon in the tier, Mega Tyranitar. This should be before discussing the moveset, and you need to talk about how MGarde has no defensive utility compared to the other Fairy-types in the tier. The Mega thing is less relevant so you can just remove it. Additionally, against faster teams, it is practically deadweight, leading to it not fitting on many teams. This isn't true, MGarde still can break defensive cores against Offense and pick off Mons slower than it like Rotom and Aegislash.

Still a lot missing from the analysis. At its core, Mega Gardvoir is a stallbreaker that fits on offensive teams that appreciate its power to wear down walls for teammates. Be sure to carefully read through the comments. Tag me again when you implement, I'll check it once more but if the main issues aren't fixed I might have to reject this.

With Pixilate-boosted Hyper Voices and an incredible Special Attack, Mega-Gardevoir (remove hyphen) is one of the tier's most effective stallbreakers, able to threaten many defensive staples like Ting-Lu (hyphen) with its dual STAB moves and rip through neutral and even resistant targets and even resists like Clefable or and Skarmory. However, Mega Gardevoir faces competition from Enamorus as a wallbreaker and other Fairy-types with more defensive utility like Tapu Fini. Added after discussion with Pubo. Psyshock allows it Mega Gardevoir to do decent damage to Blissey and also threatens Pokemon that resist Hyper Voice, like Mega Venusaur. Mystical Fire allows Gardevoir to hit hits the Steel-types that would otherwise resist both of its STABs moves, such as Celesteela and Aegislash. These 3 moves make Mega Gardevoir a potent threat on its own, so the 4th slot can be changed to whatever suits the team best. Since Gardevoir is such a potent threat, Teleport allows you to gain momentum as Gardevoir threatens big damage and can bring in another Pokemon that threatens said switchin such as Chansey and Celesteela. This allows you to bring in trappers such as Magnezone and Pokemon that threaten it on the physical side, such as Choice Band Bisharp or Tyranitar who can both threaten a Pursuit trap. Teleport takes advantage of the many switches Mega Gardevoir forces thanks to its high power, letting it pivot out of checks like Celesteela and Chansey and bring out Pokemon like Magnezone that can trap the former, and Choice Band Bisharp and Choice Band Tyranitar that can Pursuit trap both. Change approved by Gangsta Spongebob. Taunt prevents status and recovery moves from Pokemon like Chansey and can also stop Chansey from using Toxic. Calm Mind is another great option against slower defensive teams, (comma) as it abuses takes advantage of these slower structures by boosting up its Special Attack. This allows it to break through what would normally stop it, notably being able to 2HKO the likes of Chansey and Celesteela. Mega Gardevoir commonly finds itself on offensive teams teamstyles that appreciate a strong wallbreaker, such as Volt-Turn VoltTurn. (remove period, add comma) as these teams may struggle to properly break stall and bulkier teams or teams that lean towards the fatter side. However, Mega Gardevoir can struggle against specially defensive Pokemon like Chansey, Celesteela, (comma) and Jirachi. Chansey is able to Toxic poison non-Taunt Mega Gardevoir lacking Taunt, and defensive Celesteela and Jirachi can both take a hit and retaliate with a Heavy Slam and Iron Head, respectively. and Jirachi can do the same, albeit with Iron Head or crippling it with a Thunder Wave. Changed with approval from Arishem. Mega Gardevoir greatly appreciates help from strong physical attacking pokemon attackers like Iron Hands, Zapdos-Galar Galarian Zapdos, and Victini and good entry hazard setters, such as Ting-Lu, Swampert, and Kleavor, to pressure these mons Pokemon, like Ting-Lu, Swampert and Kleavor. Pokemon like Thundurus-T who that can also pressure these mons its aforementioned checks from the special side are also great teammates. Mega Gardevoir's Speed also leaves it susceptible to being picked off by Choice Scarf Zapdos-Galar Galarian Zapdos, Iron Moth, Aerodactyl-Mega Mega Aerodactyl, and Excadrill in sand, making Ting-Lu and Rotom-Wash great defensive partners. In return, Mega Gardevoir is able to can threaten the bulky cores that these Pokemon may struggle to break apart. However, using Gardevoir-Mega means you have a fairy type with 0 defensive utility. It is unable to switch into key Dark type and Fighting types without being afraid of being 2HKOed and has almost no useful support moves. Removed after discussion with Pubo.
