Move Name: Luminous Blade
Appearance In The TCG: Gardevoir EX, Steam Siege 111
Base Power: 90
Power Points: 15 (max 24)
Accuracy: 100
Elemental Type:
Damage Category:
Effect: High critical hit ratio, has a 20% chance to lower the target's Defense by 1 stage
Z-Effect: Twinkle Tackle, 175 BP
Target: Selected Target
Makes Contact: No
Special Properties: Deals damage based on the target's Defense
Design Rationale: An alternative Fairy-type STAB that hits on the target's physical side is nice for hitting Dark-types with higher special bulk or Assault Vests, like Alolan Muk, Houndoom, and Umbreon. It also has a chance to lower their Defense to potentially force them out.
Ability Name: Life Leap
Appearance In The TCG: Gardevoir EX, Primal Clash 155
Effect: This Pokemon's direct attacks heal it for 33% of the damage done to the target. This ability is ignored if the Pokemon uses an HP-draining move.
Ability Replaced: Telepathy
Design Rationale: Life Leap will help Gardevoir stay healthy throughout the battle, making its powerful STAB attacks draining moves. Could be especially useful if used with Choice Specs or a few Calm Mind boosts.
