Jirachi @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 248 HP / 240 Def / 20 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Wish
- Protect
- Thunder Wave
- Iron Head
M-Gardevoir Jirachi core is, in my opinion, one of the bulkiest. Jirachi gives to M-Gardevioir the physical bulk, the poison immunity and the steel resistance it needs.
As Wisher, Jirachi may help teammates and It's enough bulky to resist to HyperSpace Fury Scarf Hoopa-U 252 Atk Hoopa Unbound Hyperspace Fury vs. 248 HP / 240 Def Jirachi: 306-360 (75.9 - 89.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO.
Jirachi is still useful against M-Pinsir (Unless this last use EQ instead Close Combat).
But this core is weak to Fire Fast sweeper like Chandelure, Entei,... Gengar and Excadrill (if not banded under Sandstorm).
Slowbro @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Thunder Wave
- Calm Mind
- Slack Off
Everyone knows this is the best Pokemon that was ever made!
Slowbro makes for a nice 'mon to pivot out into when Gardevoir is threatened. Regen and reliable recovery let it do it throughout a match. Twave slows threats down so Gardevoir can bop them. Scald can spread burns in a pinch so Garde can eat a hit from the physical side.

Doublade @ Eviolite
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Shadow Sneak
- Swords Dance
- Iron Head
- Sacred Sword
Doublade make a good synergy with Heatran and complete him perfectly, with a good immunity to fighting, and Heatran brings fire immunity. Heatran Air Ballon with Stone Edge is essential to core working. But this core is weak to fighting special sweepers like Keldeo and Infernape, M-Gyara, and cannot pass Defensive Zapdos and a lot of water 'mons.

Skarmory @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Roost
- Brave Bird
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
Standard Physdef skarm. Takes a lot of fighting hits and ground hits heatran doesn't want to, pretty self explanatory. This works very well as a hazard stacking core, with heatran have sr and skarm with spikes. Roost replenishes health, Whirlwind phazes.
Scizor-Mega @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite / Knock Off / Superpower
- Roost
Mega Scizor threatens a lot of the meta, and because of it's typing, is basically bait for a fire move or will-o-wisp because its really hard to take it down without it. And Heatran has flash fire to get the +1 on it's fire moves to hit back, so the 2 really do have good synergy together. Mega scizor also has the advantage of taking neutral hits to fighting, water and ground moves, all of which threaten heatran, and it has reliable recovery as well as good special and physical defense. Heatran can burn foes with lava plume, deal the toxic, setup rocks, and mega scizor can roost up and SD on neutral moves because it tanks them, and proceeds to sweep.
