Need help with a decision for my run

[Another Felix]

So I'm currently doing a duo Psychic/Ghost run of Reborn. I've just gotten to Apophyll Academy, where I can obtain a Meditite. I'm tempted to add it to my team since it will be incredibly useful against Luna, especially since there are few physical Psychic attackers. My question is, should I replace someone on my team with it at this point in time, or should I just train it up so it'll be ready to fight when I need it?

Current team is in sig.

[Damage]

Only one I can think to replace is Goth since it doesn't have much of a niche. But as a fighter its bulky and definitely gets the job done with a relatively decent movepool. People say outside of prankster meowstic's usage falls a little. If you don't mind the extra training then using Medicham as a side mon isn't a bad idea. Definitely invest in speed since your team wont have too much fun against strong and fast mons since there's virtually no bulk on your team.

Medicham is good. The other option to help with Luna would be contrary Malamar with superpower.

Whichever one your prefer would be a good replacement for either Meowstic or Goth.

Actually, I just remembered that I can get a Ralts before Luna, and I'm definitely getting a Gardevoir from it. Would that alone (as well as Delphox for Bisharp) be enough to handle Luna?

[mde2001]

Trevenant could help with Tyranitar so they would all be good.

Your team is actually looking quite good for Luna when you get to her.

[Vlado Vladimir]

You should replace Gothi for that powerful Meditite, Shadow Tag is not that good vs NPCs that don't change anyway, and Gothitelle has mediocre stats

[TimTim]

I'd say either Goth, Cofagrigus or Meowstic M should sit in the box for a while when dealing with Luna, as Dark type is mainly physical, will-o-wisp can be learnt by both Cofagrigus and Delphox, but the pros of Delphox is its dual typing, that makes Cofagrigus redundant, especially when you are doing specific types run~Since you mention Ralts, Gallade is superior to Medicham?

[Luna]

Medicham is superior to Gallade. Pure power makes Medicham outclass Gallade. I would replace Gothorita with Meditite. Do not even think of making a Gallade unless there is a mega Gallade somewhere in the game. Gardevoir can actually sweep Luna's team but that was in E14. i don't know what changes were made to her in E15. but i know her Tyranitar has assault vest in E15 other than that i m not so sure what else changed for her. I would replace Meowstic M after Aya with Gardevoir. but i don't know if Gardevoir can sweep Tyranitar since it has Assault Vest.

I say at least train it up to be battle ready, it's a very good mon. It's good to have plenty of alternates in case you run into that level cap. You can probably rotate it with Gothi or Meowstic depending on the situation. As for a bulky mon if you EV train Gothi solely in defense and special defense she can be a solid tank since her defense is a good deal higher than Gardevoir's, just gotta get her a few good tms (charge beam can be surprisingly useful). Plus she can be a good thief with frisk if you invest in trick once you get to the black market.
