Best moveset for Gardevoir in Pokemon Go

Here’s the best moveset for Gardevoir in PvP and PvE battles:

Best PvP moveset for Gardevoir in Pokemon Go

The best PvP moveset for Gardevoir in Pokemon Go is Charm as a Fast Move combined with Dazzling Gleam and Triple Axel as Charged Moves.

Charm is one of the hardest-hitting Fast Moves in the game and with Gardevoir’s 237 Attack stat coming in clutch. That said, its low bulk makes it a risky Pokemon to use in PvP, especially with the ever-rampant Steel-type species like Metagross, Melmetal, and Excadrill.

If you’re looking for a good Fairy or Psychic-type option for PvP, you can use Togekiss, Zacian, Xerneas, or Mewtwo.

Best PvE moveset for Gardevoir in Pokemon Go

The best PvE moveset for Gardevoir in Pokemon Go is Charm as a Fast Move paired with Dazzling Gleam as a Charged Move.

Gardevoir excels in PvE as one of the leading Fairy-type attackers in the game, with impressive DPS (Damage Per Second) and resistance to the mighty Dragon-types. Even on the offensive side, Gardevoir is among the strongest Pokemon to use against Dragon-types, particularly in the Master League.

Best moveset for Gallade in Pokemon Go

Here’s the best moveset for Gallade in PvP and PvE battles:

Best PvP moveset for Gallade in Pokemon Go

The best PvP moveset for Gallade in Pokemon Go is Confusion as a Fast Move combined with Leaf Blade and Close Combat as Charged Moves.

Confusion is another powerful Fast Move that deals incredible damage and is complemented extremely well by Leaf Blade, a cheap Charged Move costing only 35 energy but dishing out a whopping 70 damage to boot. Additionally, it can be used to bait shields.

Close Combat costs just 10 more energy than Leaf Blade and deals 100 damage, but it debuffs Gallade’s Defense stat by two stages, making it risky to use. So you should go for Close Combat only when the opponent’s shields are down. Gallade is useful in the Great and the Ultra League.

Best PvE moveset for Gallade in Pokemon Go

The best PvE moveset for Gallade in Pokemon Go is Confusion as a Fast Move paired with Psychic as a Charged Move.

Gallade’s Psychic and Fighting-type moves aren’t powerful enough for Gallade to make much of an impact in PvE, so you should use other Pokemon such as Mewtwo, Alakazam, Azelf, Lucario, Terrakion, or Conkeldurr.
