Gallade and Gardevoir with Synchronoise in Pokemon GO PvP

Synchronoise is an 80 damage (96 with STAB) for 50 energy Psychic-type Charged Attack that both Gallade and Gardevoir can learn in Pokemon GO. However, neither of them want to run it in their best moveset. This is primarily because of the move's low damage-to-energy ratio.

Gallade and Gardevoir are both fragile creatures. The former has access to low-energy heavy-hitters like Leaf Blade and Close Combat, which allow it to threaten either knockouts or shield pressure. Gardevoir, on the other hand, wants to run Triple Axel, which increases its Charm damage, thanks to the guaranteed Attack boost.

Gallade and Gardevoir with Synchronoise in Pokemon GO PvE

Even in PvE battles, where both Gardevoir and Gallade — especially their Mega Evolutions — are strong contenders as Psychic-type attackers, prefer to run Psychic as their Charged Attack.

For Mega Gallade and Mega Gardevoir, the combination of Confusion and Psychic outdoes the DPS as well as the total damage output of Confusion and Synchronoise. Despite being marginal, this difference can have a significant impact in close situations.
