Base Stats
Gardevoir Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Gardevoir has a 618 base stat total and ranks as B-Tier: a solid option in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon for the right team. It works best as a sweeper. Moonblast with Assault Vest is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, yes. Mega Gardevoir hits 718 BST, a solid jump from the base 618. Hold the Mega Stone, trigger it in battle, and it lasts the whole fight. One Mega per team.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Gardevoir's biggest threats include Gengar (Poison), Misdreavus (Ghost), and Metagross (Steel), all carrying super-effective STAB moves.
Pixilate is the go-to ability for Gardevoir. It turns the bearer's normal moves into fairy moves and strengthens them to 1.3× their power. It's Gardevoir's only ability.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Gardevoir fills the sweeper role. It's a special attacker with base 165 Sp. Atk. Base 100 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Game Availability
Gardevoir first appeared in Ruby & Sapphire and spans 17 games across 8 generations. It later gained a Mega form in Generation 6, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
