Which suits more a competitive play of Shield: Hatterene or Gardevoir?

It would be realy nice if you would give me moveset advice for either of them.

Pleaselog inorregisterto add a comment.

Well… Let’s compare their stats.

Gardevoir has very good SpA and SpD, and a decent speed of 80, rest all are around 65 (which is bad)

Hatterene has her SpA stat a little more than Gardevoir, decent Def and SpD, but lacks in HP (so high defense is waste, but better than Gardevoir’s low HP and Def) and horrible Speed.

Now let’s look at the movesets.

Gardevoir gets access to various attacking moves such as T-Bolt, Shadow Ball, Energy Ball, Grass knot, Focus Blast etc along with Destiny Bond.

Hatterene has less wider movepool when compared to Gardevoir. The access to Trick room makes it to attack first most of the time.

The rest all are the same.

So overall,Gardevoir is good with your moveset given(But I recommend you to replace Calm Mind with Light Screen).Hatterene can play the role of anything you wish(Sweeper with Trick Room, or Special Tank or a Wall). In comparison,Hatterene is definitely better than Gardevoir.

Go with this moveset.

As LyleGoliath said, Hatterene is amazing in a Trick Room team, with that Special Attack of a Mega Gardevoir (not actually but that’d be awesome!), its only drawback is its just pitiful Speed, which is what makes it so amazing on Trick Room.
