just replace wisp with focus blast then it's all team dependent anywayHealing Wish is cool, but Steel-types are everywhere in OU making any Gardevoir set without Focus Blast (or I suppose HP Fire / Ground) straigt up unviable because you're wasting Gardevoir's wallbreaking capability.
This thing coupled with banded Azumarill are literally OU Jesi. Although I run it max sp atk with modest and only 200 speed to outspeed Altaria with the rest dumped into sp def. And protect is definitely a must have with future sight.Future Sight M-Gardevoir

Works pretty well with a physcial attacker that lures Poison or Fighting types, like Azumarill or Bisharp, then forces the opponent to either stomach the hit while Gardevoir's teammate gains the advantage (hopefully), or they sack something. Protect can stall for Future Sight turns, but this can be virtually any support option if need be. Modest works best if you want the most power out of Future Sight, or if you've paired Gardevoir with a Steel-type that dislikes Timid Heatran and really want the OHKO with Focus Blast. Otherwise, Timid is your go-to for speed-tying positive base 100s.
Still trying to make this work in tandem with Doom Desire Rachi on a team; I get the feeling it'll be fun. :)
This is cute, but I don't think that it actually works well in practice. For one, it wastes a turn that could be spent attacking. It was never that bulky on the special side anyway given the lack of investment. Those calcs seem low (scizor is impressive), but you have to keep in mind that at the end of the day, these are priority moves and are generally weaker than other attacks. Will-o-wisp accomplishes the same purpose defensively, but it's permanent, it damages, and it avoids sucker punch altogether. Of course, these priority users are going to hit you before you wisp, but the same is true about wonder room. When do you intend on using the move? These mons aren't switching into you bar talonflame (which is perhaps the only real draw to the set, but psyshock does a number on spdef regardless), because they are destroyed by gardevoir's attacks to begin with. When will it actually be useful to wonder room? Pretty much never.Wonder Room Gardevoir

Wonder Room swaps the defensive stats of all mons on the field, which effectively means that Mega Gardevoir has 68/135/65 bulk during Wonder Room and allows it to deal massive damage to special walls like Chansey with Hyper Voice and have an easier time against priority users or scarfers, though it can become extremely prediction reliant, especially against offensive teams.

Gardevoir can take a hit from priority users and hit them with a Hyper Voice / Psyshock, the only one it really struggles with is Scizor, but it can run HP Fire if it really wants to.
Just pointing this out, but Grudge is directly outclassed by Destiny Bond (which Gardevoir has access to).can i post multiple sets?

Grudge removes all the PP of the move that kills Gardevoir. The idea is similar to Memento in that it leaves a Pokemon crippled but still in play, allowing your team a chance to switch in and boost. It can be quite reliant on prediction. It can really screw some Pokemon up by removing their main STAB, too.
With Destiny Bond, they are dead, and can go to their counter to your most dangerous threat. With Grudge, they are left crippled...it is completely different. I am not sure how it is directly outclassed.Just pointing this out, but Grudge is directly outclassed by Destiny Bond (which Gardevoir has access to).
Cripple's a pretty strong word. You lock it out of a move, but it'll still have 3 more to use, and given Gardevoir's slow speed, you'd only get off a Grudge or Destiny Bond if you force a switch or can't be OHKO'd by what's in front of Gardevoir (which isn't hard to do), in which case the opponent will likely know about either move and play around it. Thus, they aren't going to finish it off with a STAB move; they'll use a coverage move that they can afford to lose. Sure in some scenarios letting your opponent get a free switch sucks, but more often than not, I'd rather have a clean 1 for 1 tradeoff over just removing a potential coverage option in exchange for losing a mon.With Destiny Bond, they are dead, and can go to their counter to your most dangerous threat.

I use a very similar set on a Trick Room team currently, and find it works very well. The speed tier it's pitched at means you still outspeed things like Clefable and Sylveon, which isn't really bad, yet you're still slower than most of the speed invested meta (really, any base 70 with investment).Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite

Trick Room is Gardevoir's only real way of boosting its Speed, and with Trick Room, it can afford to invest in bulk. The HP EVs make Mega Gardevoir just bulky enough to survive a Mega Charizard Y's Fire Blast, and everything else is put into Defense so it has a better chance against priority moves (notably, turning Mega Scizor's Bullet Punch into a 2HKO). Mega Gardevoir's only real competition in the "standalone Trick Room sweeper" department are Victini and Reuniclus, and each have their own weaknesses.
Unfortunately, Gardevoir's not that slow under Trick Room, only "outspeeding" uninvested base 75s and up. It's a move that should be used very carefully.
