Gardevoir vs. Gallade

[ShadowStar]

Yeah no Poisons really survive Psychic unless they are SUPER bulky and higher leveled.

Personally, I find in Reborn that I have an abundance of strong Fighting type sweepers; Infernape/Blaziken (if starter), Hariyama, Machamp, Lucario, Conkeldurr, Mienshao, Medicham, ect, the list goes on. How many strong special attackers are there who can fill a similar role to Gardevoir? While there are a few who do their job superbly, Gardevoir outshines quite few of them. I'm not going to mention Mr. Mine because he's trash, Alakazam has extra weaknesses to deal with in Dark and Bug, while the only real weaknesses Garde has are Ghost and Steel. Yes, Poison can kill Garde as well, but Garde can also fire off a STAB Psychic.

As a result of Gardevoir outshining most other mons who can fill a similar role, I would say Gardevoir here. Gallade is an extremely awesome pokemon, so don't get me wrong. Gallade is actualy one of my all time favorites. But when looking at other options, if it must be one or the other, Gardevoir wins.

Although if you can have it, definitely go for having both. Maybe add a normal/dark type if you were to do that as well to help with the Ghost weakness?

I'm waiting for the day I can get my hands on a Mewtwo, show you all about Sp. Atk sweepers >: D

EDIT: CRAP, meant to add that to the first post, sorry about double post
