Mega Gardevoir's stellar base 165 Special Attack in tandem with its ability, Pixilate, decent Special Defense, and respectable Speed tier make it a vicious wallbreaker against slower defensive Pokemon, especially Dark-, Dragon-, and Fighting-types such as Ting-Lu, defensive Garchomp, and Great Tusk. A strong Psychic-type STAB move in Psyshock ensures Poison-types like Toxapex and Galarian Slowking take a lot of damage if they try to switch into a Hyper Voice, as well as letting Mega Gardevoir hit Blissey and Clodsire. Mystical Fire allows Mega Gardevoir to avoid being walled by Steel-types like Ferrothorn while also denying switch-in opportunities to Gholdengo and Mega Scizor, making sure it isn't setup fodder. Taunt allows it to shut down setup attempts from Calm Mind users such as Raging Bolt, Tapu Lele, and Tapu Fini while also preventing defensive Pokemon such as Gliscor, Toxapex, Blissey, and Ting-Lu from using status moves like Toxic and Thunder Wave, setting entry hazards, or using recovery moves. Focus Blast, similarly to Mystical Fire, makes sure Mega Gardevoir isn't walled by Steel-types; however it hits Heatran and Melmetal harder. Its base ability, Trace, can also allow it to come in on Pokemon and copy their abilities. For example, it can copy Dauntless Shield from Zamazenta, Regenerator from Pokemon such as Alomomola and Tornadus-T, Swift Swim from Mega Swampert, and Flash Fire from Heatran. Mega Gardevoir's base 100 Speed allows it to outpace threats like non-Choice Scarf variants of Urshifu-R and Kyurem, making it harder to revenge kill.

Mega Gardevoir works best on offense, bulky offense, or balance structures due to its poor physical bulk, lack of reliable recovery, and vulnerability to Spikes, which limits its entry opportunities. It works best with slow pivots like Corviknight, Galarian Slowking, and Alomomola that cover its weaknesses to Steel- and Poison-types and can bring it in safely multiple times. It also greatly appreciates partners that can set entry hazards on forced switches, like Hisuian Samurott, offensive Garchomp, and Great Tusk. Thanks to Mega Gardevoir's incredible matchup against Ting-Lu, it has great synergy with Pokemon that are walled by it, like Ghostium Z Gholdengo and Raging Bolt. Fast physical attackers like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, and Mega Lopunny, as well as priority users such as Mega Scizor and Mega Medicham with Bullet Punch, and Kingambit with Sucker Punch, can revenge kill Mega Gardevoir if let in by a slow pivot. As such, physically defensive Pokemon like Corviknight, Toxapex, and Pecharunt are great defensive partners. Meanwhile, since it's easily revenge killed by Choice Scarf users like Urshifu-R and faster threats like Tapu Koko and Weavile, Pokemon that can switch into them and apply offensive pressure—like Ogerpon-Wellspring, Kingambit, and Iron Treads—are great partners that help maintain momentum.

Mega Gardevoir's stellar base 165 Special Attack stat in tandem with its ability Pixilate, decent Special Defense, and renowned speed tier make it a vicious wallbreaker against slower defensive Dark, Dragon, and Fighting types such as Ting-Lu, Defensive Garchomp, and Great Tusk. Its ability Trace can also allow it to come in on Pokemon and take advantage of their abilities, like Intimidate Landorus-Therian it still has a prettt low defense stat and this makes it sound like it can switch in if try another example, Regenerator Pokemon like Alomomola and Tornadus-Therian, and even Flash Fire Heatran. Strong Psychic STAB in Psyshock ensures Poison types like Toxapex and Slowking-Galar take a lot of damage if they try to switch into a Hyper Voice. 100 Base speed allows it to outpace threats like non-Choice Scarf variants of Urshifu-R and Kyurem helping in making revenge killing harder. Mystical Fire allows Mega Gardevoir to not be walled by Steel types like Ferrothorn while also denying switch-in opportunities to Gholdengo and Mega Scizor, making sure it isn't setup fodder. Taunt allows it to shut down setup state some examples of Pokemon it deny with taunt, while also blocking defensive Pokemon from using status moves like Toxic or Thunder Wave, setting entry hazards like Stealth Rock or Spikes, and recovering off the damage it dealswho?. Focus Blast, similarly to Mystical Fire, makes sure Mega Gardevoir isn't walled by steel types, while also hitting Heatran and Melmetal.

Mega Gardevoir's lack of physical bulk means it can't take many hits, and without reliable recovery and its vulnerability to Spikes, it works best on offense or bulky offense structures with slow pivots like Corviknight or Slowking-Galar Mention Alomomola here toothat can cover its weaknesses to Steel and Poison move this sentence to the top to follow the format you want to mention the team styles it fits on first. It also greatly appreciates partners that can set hazards on forced switches, like Hisuian Samurott, offensive Garchomp, or and Meowscarada Great Tusk. Thanks to Mega Gardevoir's incredible matchup into Ting-Lu, it has great synergy with Pokemon who are walled by it, like Ghostium Z Gholdengo and Raging Bolt. Fast physical attackers like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, and Mega Lopunny can revenge kill Mega Gardevoir if let in by a slow pivot, so strong physically defensive Pokemon like Corviknight and Toxapex Pecharunt asw so add that are great defensive partners for it. Meanwhile, since it's easily revenge killed by scarfers Choice Scarf Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Landorus-Therian, and KartanaThese feel a bit specific Urshifu is fine but id rather use other examples for the others since mega garde is not that fast it’s still outsped by chomp, Ogerpon, Tapu Koko,Weavile etc try some examples like those then use some examples of answers to them, Pokemon that can switch in and use them as setup opportunities like Dragonite and Ogerpon-Wellspring are great offensive partners that help with not giving up momentum. didn’t know where else to put this but you want to mention it’s vulnerability to priority like Mega Scizor and mega medi's Bullet punch and gambits sucker punch etc.

Mega Gardevoir's stellar base 165 Special Attack stat in tandem with its ability Pixilate, decent Special Defense, and renowned odd word choice, what does its speed being well known account for? speed tier make it a vicious wallbreaker against slower defensive Dark, Dragon, and Fighting types such as Ting-Lu, Defensive Garchomp, and Great Tusk. its not just those fairy weak mons either, maybe like "especially dark dragon and fighting types" to imply its also useful against slow defensives in general Its base ability Trace can also allow it to come in on Pokemon and take advantage of their abilities, like Dauntless Sheild typo Zamazenta using Close Combat, Regenerator Pokemon such as Alomomola and Tornadus-Therian, Swift Swim Pokemon like Mega Swampert, and even Flash Fire Heatran. Strong Psychic STAB in Psyshock ensures Poison types like Toxapex and Slowking-Galar take a lot of damage if they try to switch into a Hyper Voice psyshock being a stab move is intuitive so instead also focus on how it hits blissey and clod aside from those two. 100 Base speed allows it to outpace threats like non-Choice Scarf variants of Urshifu-R and Kyurem helping in making revenge killing harder. speed tier should come later Mystical Fire allows Mega Gardevoir to not be walled by Steel types like Ferrothorn while also denying switch-in opportunities to Gholdengo and Mega Scizor, making sure it isn't setup fodder. Taunt allows it to shut down setup such as Calm Mind on Raging Bolt, Tapu Lele, and Tapu Fini, while also blocking defensive Pokemon such as Gliscor, Toxapex, Blissey, or Ting-Lu from using status moves like Toxic or Thunder Wave, setting entry hazards like Stealth Rock or Spikes, and using recovery moves to shrug off the damage it deals. Focus Blast, similarly to Mystical Fire focus on the difference will do, makes sure Mega Gardevoir isn't walled by steel types, while also hitting Heatran and Melmetal. move the stuff about trace and speed down here instead

Mega Gardevoir's works best on offense or bulky offense structures due to its lack of real physical bulk, no reliable recovery, and vulnerability to Spikes not allowing it many entry opportunities good, although id also mention balance especially with some of the examples you use. It works best with slow pivots like Corviknight, Slowking-Galar, or Alomomola that can cover its weaknesses to Steel and Poison and get it on the field safely multiple times. It also greatly appreciates partners that can set hazards on forced switches, like Hisuian Samurott, offensive Garchomp, and Great Tusk. Thanks to Mega Gardevoir's incredible matchup into Ting-Lu, it has great synergy with Pokemon who are walled by it, like Ghostium Z Gholdengo and Raging Bolt. Fast physical attackers like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, and Mega Lopunny or priority such as Bullet Punch from Mega Scizor and Mega Medicham and Sucker Punch from Kingambit can revenge kill Mega Gardevoir if let in by a slow pivot, so strong physically defensive Pokemon like Corviknight, Toxapex, and Pecharunt are great defensive partners for it. Meanwhile, since it's easily revenge killed by Choice Scarf Pokemon like Urshifu-R and faster Pokemon like Tapu Koko or Weavile, Pokemon that can switch in and use them as setup opportunities like Ogerpon-Wellspring, Kingambit, and Gholdengo ghold doesnt really switch into any of your example threats, replace with another koko switchin are great offensive partners that help with not giving up momentum.

Mega Gardevoir's stellar base 165 Special Attack stat removed "stat" here so it matches with the "base 100 speed" at the end of the paragraph in tandem with its ability, (AC) Pixilate, decent Special Defense, and speed respectable Speed tier make it a vicious wallbreaker against slower defensive Pokemon, especially Dark-, Dragon-, and Fighting types Fighting-types such as Ting-Lu, defensive Garchomp, and Great Tusk. Strong Psychic A strong Psychic-type STAB move in Psyshock ensures Poison types Poison-types like Toxapex and Slowking-Galar Galarian Slowking take a lot of damage if they try to switch into a Hyper Voice, as well as being able to letting Mega Gardevoir hit Blissey and Clodsire. Mystical Fire allows Mega Gardevoir to not be avoid being walled by Steel types Steel-types like Ferrothorn while also denying switch-in opportunities to Gholdengo and Mega Scizor, making sure it isn't setup fodder. Taunt allows it to shut down setup such as attempts from Calm Mind on users such as Raging Bolt, Tapu Lele, and Tapu Fini (RC) while also blocking preventing defensive Pokemon such as Gliscor, Toxapex, Blissey, or and Ting-Lu from using status moves like Toxic or and Thunder Wave, setting entry hazards I think it's fine to remove rocks/spikes here since it could also be tspikes from pex and taunt applies to all hazards anyways, (AC) like Stealth Rock or Spikes, and using recovery moves to shrug off the damage it deals. Focus Blast, similarly to Mystical Fire, makes sure Mega Gardevoir isn't walled by steel types Steel-types; however, while also hitting it hits Heatran and Melmetal harder changed to however because saying "while also" feels weird since heatran and melmetal are also steel types, then added harder because you hit melmetal super effectively with mystical fire anyways. Its base ability, (AC) Trace, (AC) can also allow it to come in on Pokemon and take advantage of copy their abilities. (AP) For example, like it can copy Dauntless Shield from Zamazenta, Regenerator from Pokemon such as Alomomola and Tornadus-Therian Tornadus-T, Swift Swim Pokemon like from Mega Swampert, and even is "even" needed here? Flash Fire from Heatran. split the sentence and reworded to clarify that it's copying the ability, not the pokemon Mega Gardevoir's base 100 Base speed Speed allows it to outpace threats like non-Choice Scarf variants of Urshifu-R and Kyurem, helping in making revenge killing against it harder it harder to revenge kill.

Mega Gardevoir works best on offense, bulky offense, or balance structures due to its lack of real poor physical bulk, no lack of reliable recovery, and vulnerability to Spikes, (AC) which limit its not allowing it many entry opportunities. It works best with slow pivots like Corviknight, Slowking-Galar Galarian Slowking, or and Alomomola that can cover its weaknesses to Steel- and Poison Poison-types and get can bring it on the field in safely multiple times. It also greatly appreciates partners that can set entry hazards on forced switches, like Hisuian Samurott, offensive Garchomp, and Great Tusk. Thanks to Mega Gardevoir's incredible matchup into against Ting-Lu, it has great synergy with Pokemon who that are walled by it, like Ghostium Z Gholdengo and Raging Bolt. Fast physical attackers like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, and Mega Lopunny, (AC) as well as or priority users such as Bullet Punch from Mega Scizor and Mega Medicham and Sucker with Bullet Punch, (AC) and from Kingambit with Sucker Punch, (AC) can revenge kill Mega Gardevoir if let in by a slow pivot (RC) so strong. (AP) As such, (AC) physically defensive Pokemon like Corviknight, Toxapex, and Pecharunt are great defensive partners for it. Meanwhile, since it's easily revenge killed by Choice Scarf Pokemon users like Urshifu-R and faster Pokemon threats like Tapu Koko or and Weavile, Pokemon that can switch in and use into them as setup opportunities or and apply offensive pressure—like Ogerpon-Wellspring, Kingambit, and Iron Treads—are great partners that help with not giving up maintain momentum. I think setting up would also count as applying offensive pressure so it's a bit redundant + added the em dashes for readability
