Origins and Lore

The name Gardevoir provides clues to its role – the ‘garde’ part refers to guarding, while ‘voir’ means to see. It may also point to its psychic senses. As a ballet dancer and knight mixed together, Gardevoir represents chivalry and empathy. Mega Gardevoir takes on more of a ballroom dancer form.

With its wispy white dress, some see a connection to spirits or a protecting angel. As a fairy-type focused on caring for its trainer, it takes on guardian-like attributes. Since its debut, each region has added new lore about Gardevoir’s origins in their Pokédex entries. Keep an eye out for mentions of its loyal friend Arcanine too in the legends shared across different lands.

Biology and Behavior

Gardevoir stands out from most Pokémon with its almost human-like appearance. The long white dress and flowy frills circling its torso give it a very feminine look. Thin, pointed legs and a short hairstyle that partially covers its eyes complete the effect.

Adding to the mask-like face are small spikes behind each eye that could be part of a masquerade costume. Crimson horns protrude from its front and back too – said to be directly connected to its heart. Some even say the horn shape resembles a heart being pierced right through its chest.
So whether partnering with a trusted Pikachu Pokémon or on its own, Gardevoir’s uniquely humanoid form sets it apart from the crowd.

Evolutionary Line

Gardevoir is one of the two evolutionary forms of Kirlia. It evolves when Kirlia reaches Lvl. 30, while the second evolution Gallade evolves using Dawn Stone on Male Kirlia. Gardevoir may also turn into a Mega Gardevoir when holding a Gardevoirite.

Here’s a quick Gardevoir evolution chart for a better understanding:

Training and Battling — Type Effectiveness

Gardevoir always remains in the spotlight for its exceptional coverage in Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense. Given its Psychic and Fairy powers, it is completely immune to Dragon types, which is a major threat to most other Pokémon. However, it still stands weak against the Ghost, Poison, and Steel type.

Moves and Abilities

Synchronize
Battle Effect	If the foe causes a status condition (burn, paralysis, or poison) to the ability bearer, then the foe receives the same status as well.
External Effect	In case the ability bearer is leading the party, there is a 50% possibility of the appearing wild Pokémon to be of the same nature.
Trace
Battle Effect	Allows the Pokémon to copy the foe’s ability.
Telepathy
Battle Effect	Ability bearer doesn’t take damage from any attacks of its teammates in a duo or multi-party battle.

Competitive Usage & Strategies

Having a good offensive movepool powered with high Sp. Attack stat makes Gardevoir a relatively great addition to the team. In addition to its primary attacking moves, it has a fair share of recovery moves, such as Healing Wish, as a support. 

Here are a few tactics to capitalize on its strengths while protecting its weaknesses.

The Traceability is known to be the best combination for a Gardevoir, as it allows copying abilities of possibly stronger opponents. Given this, it can mimic Levitate from Flygon, which is a fairly serious threat, to equate the advantage.

However, with a pretty low Defense, it is usually 2HKOed by the most common hits, making it prone to being revenge killed. Special Defensive Pokémon including Cresselia and Snorlax can easily inflict a status problem or severe damage.

Major Appearances

Pokémon The Series: XY

Ep. 28 – The Bonds Of Evolution

Diantha, Kalos Pokémon Champion, used Gardevior in an exhibition battle with the previous year’s champion. The Gardevoir was wearing a Gardevoirite necklace as well. It easily wins the match by dodging all hits and using a Moonblast at last.

Pokémon The Series: Ruby and Sapphire

Ep. 109 – Do I Hear A Ralts?

Max and Snorunt finds a sick Ralts and decide to help it. Team Rocket tries to take the Pokémon for themselves. However, a wild Gardevoir and Kirlia appear and attack them. The Gardevoir also attacks Max, perceiving him as a threat as well. However, the Ralts protect them and tell others the truth.

Other episodes with Gardevoir’s minor appearances include:

• Destiny Deoxys.
• Pokéblock, Stock, and Berry.
• Spontaneous Combusken

Trivia and Fun Facts

Several interesting facts about Gardevoir are:

Did you know that in one episode of the Pokémon show “Beyond the Pokédex”, Gardevoir helped a young Larvitar overcome its fears and learn to love making new friends? Gardevoir used its powerful psychic abilities to help the shy rock Pokémon realize how much fun exploring the world can be. Even though Larvitar was scared at first, with Gardevoir’s kindly support, it began to smile and play. This shows how Gardevoir is a caring friend to all Pokémon.

Fan Community and Merchandise

Ever since its discovery in the Hoenn region, Gardevoir has earned a huge stardom. Fans quickly became overwhelmed after its exclusive performance in the anime as well as games.

Being one of the top-rankers in Psychic-Fairy type, Gardevoir has its fair share of merchandise collection. Here are the most popular Gardevoir merch available online:

Merch	Dimensions	Image
Gardevoir Sitting Cuties Plush	5.3 x 2.8 x 5.3 IN
Ralts & Gardevoir Pokémon Winter Wonders Green Stocking	12.2 x 0.2 x 19.5 IN
Ralts, Kirlia & Gardevoir Pokémon Pins (3-Pack)	3.8 x 0.2 x 7 IN
Pokémon TCG: Gardevoir ex League Battle Deck	3.9 x 1.5 x 7.5 IN
Pokémon TCG: Gardevoir V Battle Deck	3.9 x 1.5 x 7.5 IN

Conclusively, Gardevoir rules the category of Fairy types, being a fantastic option to overtake several offensive Pokémon. Inevitably, it faces threats from faster Choice Scarf users and bulkier Pokémon. However, using the right strategies can be a good companion to tackle several gym battles.
