Before looking at the best counters to take down Mega Gardevoir raids on your own, here are the raid boss' stats and moveset:

• Type: Psychic and Fairy
• Combat Power: 50,532
• Attack: 326
• Defense: 229
• Stamina: 9,000 HP
• Fast Attacks: Charge Beam, Charm, Confusion, Magical Leaf
• Charged Attacks: Dazzling Gleam, Psychic, Shadow Ball, and Triple Axe
• Weaknesses: Ghost, Steel, and Poison

Of the types that deal super-effective damage to Mega Gardevoir, Steel also resists most of the attacks that the creature can use. This is where Dusk Mane Necrozma with Sunsteel Strike and Dawn Wings Necrozma with Moongeist Beam come into play.

Note: Suggestions in the following section are based on PokeBattler simulations, and actual results might vary slightly.

Without any weather boosts in play

As long as Mega Gardevoir does not have Shadow Ball as its Charged Attack, Dusk Mane Necrozma with Metal Claw and Sunsteel Strike at level 50 can comfortably take down the raid boss before the 300-second timer runs out.

Level 50 Dawn Wings Necrozma with Shadow Claw and Moongeist Beam can also solo defeat Mega Gardevoir in Pokemon GO comfortably when the raid boss uses Psychic as its Charged Attack.

Solo Dawn Wings wins are also possible with Triple Axel as Mega Gardevoir's Charged Attack. However, these are extremely volatile results, that might be affected by slight in-app or internet errors.

With Foggy weather

When the weather is Foggy, Dawn Wings Necrozma between level 40 and 50, equipped with Shadow Claw and Moongeist Beam can solo defeat Mega Gardevoir in Pokemon GO, as long as the raid boss doesn't know Shadow Ball.

Mega Gengar (Level 40+) with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball can also be an effective pick in this weather when Mega Gardevoir knows the following combination of moves:

• Magical Leaf + Dazzling Gleam
• Charm + Dazzling Gleam
• Magical Leaf + Triple Axel
• Charge Beam + Triple Axel
• Charge Beam + Dazzling Gleam

For Mega Gardevoir sets consisting of either Magical Leaf or Triple Axel, Level 50 Shadow Chandelure with Hex and Shadow Ball can also be effective.

With Snowy weather

If you are lucky enough to have Snowy Weather, Level 50 Dusk Mane Necrozma can easily solo defeat Mega Gardevoir in Pokemon GO Mega Raids. Level 50 Shadow Metagross with Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash can also take down the raid boss on its own under these conditions, as long as it doesn't have Shadow Ball as its Charged Attack.
