Auto attacks and Passive

Gardevoir’s basic attack has a boosted effect every third attack, which decreases the target’s Special Defense by 10% for two seconds. This is particularly useful for early-game farming and in sustained fights against tanky opponents.

Gardevoir’s passive ability, Synchronize, is often overlooked but very valuable. When an enemy deals damage to Gardevoir, they are slowed by 40% for three seconds and take damage over time for the same duration. This can help you kite backwards and create distance from aggressive enemies.

Starting Moves

Confusion: A psychic attack that deals damage to enemies in a linear direction.
Teleport: Instantly moves Gardevoir to a specified location and makes the next basic attack a boosted attack.

Level 6 Moves (choose one)

Psyshock: Unleashes multiple psychic blasts in a designated area, each dealing damage. This move can be aimed to hit the same spot multiple times for maximum damage.
Future Sight: Sets a delayed explosion that deals damage after a short time. If it hits an enemy Pokémon, the cooldown is reduced.

Level 8 Moves (choose one)

Psychic: Creates an area of effect (AoE) that deals damage to enemies inside it and slows them down.
Moonblast: Fires a beam that damages enemies and stuns the first enemy hit. Gardevoir also gains a shield if this move hits an enemy.

Unite Move

Fairy Singularity: At level 9, Gardevoir gains access to its Unite Move, which creates a black hole that pulls in enemies and deals damage over time.
