I've been thinking about adding Mega Gardevoir to my team. It would be a bulky attacker Modest or Timid Gardevoir 232 HP / 56 SpA / 220 Spe - Moon Blast - Psychic - Focus Blast - Calm Mind What does you think? The rest of my team is Timid Dragonite @ Weakness Policy - Multiscale 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe -Earthquake -Fire Punch -Outrage -Dragon Dance Modest Rotom - W @ Chesto Berry - Levitate 232 HP / 56 SpA / 220 Spe -Will-o-Wisp -Hyrdo-Pump -Volt Switch -Rest Timid Greninja @ Life Orb - Protean 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe - Ice Beam - Dark Pulse - Scald - U-Turn Relaxed Ferrothorn @ Leftovers - Iron Barbs 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SpD - Protect - Gyro Ball - Leech Seed - Stealth Rocks Impish Gliscor @ Toxic Orb - Poison Heal 244 HP / 40 Def / 224 Spe - Substitute - Toxic - Earthquake - Baton Pass Let me know what you think - Pros and Cons. I have been running Random Battles on Battle spot and I've noticed problems with Vensaur, Kelfki and Mega -Khangskan. I think the addition of Mega Gardevoir will help. Thoughts? Thanks

Garvedior can learn Stored Power via move tutor, so that could replace psychic

Personally I find psychic to be a redundant attacking type when you already have a fairy move. They have nearly the same coverage, except fairy is better, and psychic really only offers help against poison types that you'll barely run into. Maybe use shadow ball instead?

>>15624165 It looks like a good set! Once bank is out, swap Moonblast for Hyper Voice - Pixilate will make it Fairy type and bump up its BP to 117. It also hits through subs.

>>15624358 How does that stat distribution on Megavoir work out for you?
I'm currently running a pure 252 HP/252 Def/4 Sp. Attack - Bold set with wish and calm mind.
With this set Gardevoir has a really good chance of surviving a hit from a choice banded, technician bullet punch from scizor
even though taking a hit from scizor is a stupid plan to begin with . It makes Garde pretty bulky on paper, and if I can get the ball going with calm minds its pretty solid.
Does your set play well for you?

>>15624165 pixilate gives a 30% power boost to the normal type moves it converts to fairy, so if you're just using moon blast for the stab and the debuff doesn't factor in swap it with return.

You have to bring it in after someone is downed or switch it in so it won't get hurt.
Then you dragon dance, take what ever hit they dish out and you'll practically always live. If the move they hit you with is super effective. you get +2 Atk and SpA and with the DD you'll be at +3 Atk and +1 Spe. You'll outspeed almost everything and will be set up to sweep.

But what Priority Moves can do a lot of damage to Dragonite? After the first Multi Scale hit, I'm generally left with at least 50-65%. The only thing that take me down below that have been Ice Beams from Mega Metwo Y and Garchomps/ Outrage. But they don't have priority moves.
I understand that it is a risky move but if done correctly and prepared for... it is a great way to sweep. I mean, I have OHKO'd so many mons.
It fits well with my team. For the most part, ever other member is really stally/bulky so they dance around most of the threats.
Also, the only real trouble I have had is with Kleki, Mega Kan, and Mega Vensaur but I have a feeling the Mega Gardevoir I'm adding will help.
