How to Beat Gardevoir in Pokemon Go: Gardevoir Counters and Weaknesses
First things first, in an ideal scenario you’re taking out Gardevoir with at least one other trainer. But it’s possible to solo this boss.
Here are Gardevoir’s stats:
- Attack: 199
- Defense: 165
- HP: 15,000
Gardevoir, because of its Type combination, is weak to Poison, Ghost, and Steel. Here are the very best Pokemon to bring into a Raid against it:

- Overqwil with Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb
- Roserade with Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb
- Gengar with Shadow Claw and Sludge Bomb
- Bisharp with Metal Claw and Iron Head

As you can see, there are quite a few Pokemon you can bring into the fray and have pretty good results with. But the absolute best Pokemon you can bring into it is the Mega or Shadow versions of the Pokemon on the above list if you have them. So, for example, Mega Gengar and Shadow Metagross are some of the highest-tier options, but both are Pokemon that are extremely difficult to get.
