I’m sorry about these delays guys and girls. I’ve been traveling and a little bit busier than usual.  I’m still looking for TRU Darkrai. If you are reading this and feel like helping me out feel free to e-mail me. I’ll trade you well for it. Same goes for Gamestop Deoxys. Thanks =)

 

We will start comparing alternate evolutions this week. Kirlia has two very different evolutions. The first one is Gardevoir, a somehow underestimated Pokémon. Its defense and speed are its worst weaknesses, but its special stats are great. I can handle a couple special hits and it is a good Pokémon for all kinds of trainers, as it is used easily on both competitive and casual play.

 

The movesets for today are…

 

Special Sweeper.
Gardevoir@Wise glasses.
Nature: Modest (+ Special attack, - Attack).
EV’s: 252 Special attack / 252 Special defense / 6 HP.
- Calm mind
- Psychic
- Shadow ball
- Focus blast / Thunderbolt / HP bug

 

Use calm mind whenever you can, and sweep the rest of the time, pretty easy set. Both abilities work well.

 

Annoyer.
Gardevoir@Leftovers.
Nature: Calm (+ Special defense, - Attack).
EV’s: 252 Special defense / 129 Defense / 129 HP.
- Taunt
- Psychic
- Toxic / Will-o-wisp
- Attract / Thunderbolt

 

This is a pretty rare set but the surprise factor is always good. Suggested for trainers with some experience and patience.

 

Mean look is another good move for anti-tank purposes, but I haven’t seen one of these in a while so I think two movesets are enough for Gardevoir.

 

Pros.

Excellent special stats give you some confidence to sweep for a couple turns, but Alakazam is still a lot better than Gardevoir, but it is very good in double battles.

 

Counters.

Fast physical sweepers will cause great damage. Shadow claw and crunch are usually fatal for Gardevoir. Weavile, Heracross or Tyranitar are pretty good against Gardevoir.

 

Bottom line.

Next one is Gallade, stay tuned guys and girls…

 

Rating:

3.3/5

 

Hope you enjoyed.

Reeve.
