Gardevoir's high Special Attack and Special Defense along with its ability Trace and a number of good moves available to it make it a potent threat in the metagame. Psychic and Moonblast are Gardevoir's strongest STAB moves and synergize well with each other because they cover each other's type weakness. Choice Scarf allows Gardevoir to outspeed many potential threats such as Dragapult and non-Iron Tail Zeraora. Moonblast is used to OHKO Dragon-types like Dragapult and Dracovish. Psychic is used to cover Poison-types like Toxtricity and Gengar that Moonblast cannot hit supereffectively. The combination of Trick + Disable is used to beat Pokemon that have to set up such as Galarian Corsola. Trace helps against Pokemon like non-Iron Tail Zeraora and physical Intimidate users such as Arcanine.

Gardevoir struggles with most Steel- and Ghost-types like Durant and Aegislash. Due to this, Ground-type Pokemon such as Gastrodon and Steelix synergize well with Gardevoir. In return, Gardevoir takes care of most Grass- and Water-types, such as Keldeo and Appletun, which Ground-types struggle to deal with. Dark-types like Hydreigon and Incineroar that can take care of Ghost-types such as Chandelure that Gardevoir is weak to are also good partners. Gardevoir also has a good matchup against most Fighting-types they lose to like Kommo-o and Conkeldurr.

Gardevoir's high stats on the special side along with its ability Trace and a number of good moves available to it, make it a potential potent threat in the metagame. Psychic and Moonblast are Gardevoir's strongest STAB-moves and synergize well with each other. Moonblast is the main damage output and used to OHKO Pokemon like Dragapult and Dracovish. Choice Scarf allows Gardevoir to outspeed many potential threats such as Dragapult and non-Iron Tail Zeraora. Psychic is used to cover Moonblast's weakness against Poison-types like Venusaur and Gengar. The combination of Trick + Disable is used to beat Pokemon that have to setup such as Registeel and (registeel doesn't exist in gen 8 s m h) Corsola-Galar. Gardevoir's ability Trace allows it to copy the enemies ability. (obvious) That Trace helps against Pokemon like non-Iron Tail Zeraora and Pokemon that are physical attackers and have the ability Intimidate, such as Arcanine and Inineroar.

Gardevoir struggles with most Steel- and Ghost-types like Durant and Aegislash and with Poison-types that outspeed it such as Choice Scarf Gengar (timid gar doesnt ko, modest gengar is a 50/50 at best). Due to this, Pokemon that synergize well with Gardevoir are Ground-types such as Excadrill and Diggersby (these both can lose to durant). In return Gardevoir takes care of most Grass- and Water-types with which Ground-types struggle to deal with (like?). Dark-types that can take care of the Gardevoir's Ghost-type weakness (what ghost types?) like Hydreigon and Incineroar are also good partners, because they take care of Gardevoir's weakness and Gardevoir has a good matchup against most Fighting-types they lose to (what fighting-types?).

Gardevoir's high stats on the special side along with its ability Trace and a number of good moves available to it, make it a potent threat in the metagame. Psychic and Moonblast are Gardevoir's strongest STAB-moves and synergize well with each other (explain why they synergize well). Moonblast is the main damage output and used to OHKO Dragon-types Pokemon like Dragapult and Dracovish. Choice Scarf allows Gardevoir to outspeed many potential threats such as Dragapult and non-Iron Tail Zeraora. Psychic is used to cover Moonblast's weakness against Poison-types like Venusaur (Venusaur eats. 252 SpA Gardevoir Psychic vs. 184 HP / 0 SpD Venusaur: 288-338 (82.9 - 97.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO. would change it to Toxtricity) and Gengar. The combination of Trick + Disable is used to beat Pokemon that have to setup such as Corsola-Galar. (add space) Trace helps against Pokemon like non-Iron Tail Zeraora and Pokemon that are physical attackers and have the ability Intimidate, physical Intimidate users such as Arcanine and bulky Inineroar (you still die from 252+ CB incin blitz after intim unless you put like 140 in defense. also spell incineroar right).

Gardevoir struggles with most Steel- and Ghost-types like Durant and Aegislash. Due to this, Pokemon that synergize well with Gardevoir are Ground-types such as Gastrodon and Steelix. In return Gardevoir takes care of most Grass- and Water-types with which Ground-types struggle to deal with such as Keldeo and Rillaboom. Dark-types like Hydreigon and Incineroar that can take care of Ghost-types that Gardevoir is weak to such as Chandelure, are also good partners, because they take care of Gardevoir's weakness and Gardevoir has a good matchup against most Fighting-types they lose to like Kommo-o and Conkeldurr.

Gardevoir's high stats on the special side along with its ability Trace and a number of good moves available to it, make it a potent threat in the metagame. Psychic and Moonblast are Gardevoir's strongest STAB moves(RH) and synergize well with each other because they cover each others type's weakness. Moonblast is the main source of damage output,(AC) and is used to OHKO Dragon-types like Dragapult and Dracovish. Choice Scarf allows Gardevoir to outspeed many potential threats such as Dragapult and non-Iron Tail Zeraora. Psychic is used to cover Moonblast's weakness against Poison-types like Toxtricity and Gengar that Moonblast cannot hit super-effectively. The combination of Trick + Disable is used to beat Pokemon that have to setup such as Corsola-Galar. Trace helps against Pokemon like non-Iron Tail Zeraora and physical Intimidate users such as Arcanine.

Gardevoir struggles with most Steel- and Ghost-types like Durant and Aegislash. Due to this, Ground-type Pokemon such as Gastrodon and Steelix that synergize well with Gardevoir are Ground-types such as Gastrodon and Steelix(I feel like this is better phrasing, but you could consult GP folks before implementing this). In return,(AC) Gardevoir takes care of most Grass- and Water-types with which Ground-types struggle to deal with such as Keldeo and Rillaboom(I just ran the calculator, and Rillaboom takes out Gardevoir, especially since the top used 70% are offensive sets). Dark-types like Hydreigon and Incineroar that can take care of Ghost-types that Gardevoir is weak to such as Chandelure, are also good partners, because they take care of Gardevoir's weakness and Gardevoir has a good matchup against most Fighting-types they lose to like Kommo-o and Conkeldurr.
