PVE Offensive Moves Explanation
- Confusion is slightly stronger than Charm in a neutral scenario, and both are clearly superior to Charge Beam, having better damage output and coverage.
- Dazzling Gleam pairs with Charm to give Gardevoir its trademark Fairy-type coverage. (Finally!)
- Psychic pairs with Confusion to give Gardevoir its strongest moveset Vs. Fighting Types.
- Shadow Ball can allow Gardevoir to attack into resisted Psychic-type Pokemon, but other Pokemon handle this role readily.
- Synchronoise is inferior to Psychic.
- Return has no use at all on Gardevoir.
PVE Defensive Moves Explanation
- Charm has more meaningful coverage against common attackers and hits hard with STAB.
- Confusion is an excellent move on defense, but doesn't have as much coverage.
- Dazzling Gleam threatens Dark-type counters while Shadow Ball hits Steel and Fire-types better. Neither are particularly hard to dodge.
- Psychic provides powerful, 2 bar STAB, though its coverage is a bit lackluster.
- Charge Beam is underwhelming in every aspect.
- Synchronoise is the hardest to dodge, but it falls behind Psychic.
- Return is three-bar move that comes out fast, but its low power renders it less than useful, and Gardevoir's main niche on defense is its coverage/resistances.
PVE Overview
As a Psychic-type attacker, Gardevoir is outclassed by Alakazam and Espeon in terms stats. The addition of Charm thanks to the July 2019 move rebalance gives Gardevoir the buff it so needed to shine as a Fairy-type attacker. Hitting Dragon and Fighting-types hard while double resisting their attacks makes Gardevoir a very bulky option, though it still doesn't catch up to Rayquaza's DPS. Just watch out for Heavy Slam and other steel moves!
As a defender, Gardevoir threatens common gym attackers, namely Dragonite and Machamp, with a double resistance to their attacks and a Super Effective STAB Charm. Its bulk is not awful, but it still leaves something to be desired.
The future also looks fairly bright for Gardevoir, as it receives a particularly elegant mega-evolution in the main series. Of course, how/when/if that is implemented in Go remains to be seen.
