Okay, so I’ve been playing a LOT of Pokemon Go lately, and I finally got my hands on a really good Gardevoir. I’ve always loved Gardevoir, so I was super stoked to finally make it a powerhouse on my team. The big question, though, was: what moveset should I go for? There’s a lot of debate online, so I decided to do some experimenting myself.
I started by catching a bunch of Ralts. Gotta get that candy, you know? It took a while, but I finally had enough to evolve one into a Kirlia and then into a Gardevoir. I also used some TMs – those Fast TMs and Charged TMs – to try and roll different moves.

My first try was just random, seeing what the game would give me. I ended up with some combination I can’t even remember now, it wasn’t very good in battles. So, time to get a little more scientific about it!
My Experimenting
- First Test: Tried a combination,don’t remember, it was bad.
- Second Test: I’d heard a lot of people saying Confusion and Psychic was the way to go. So, used a Fast TM to get Confusion, and a Charged TM to get Psychic.
I took this Gardevoir into a few raids and, wow, what a difference! It was doing WAY more damage than before. I’m pretty sure I saw some big numbers popping up on the screen – that’s the damage, you know.
I felt pretty good about it, The Psychic was hitting really hard, and Confusion seemed to be building up energy pretty fast so I could use Psychic more often. I felt powerful.
From my personal testing, running around battling gyms and doing raids, Confusion and Psychic really seems to be the best combo. I was tearing through those gyms much quicker!
