Yeah probably. While both are very solid Pokémon they fit different roles and for hyper offense or stall I’d say mega Gardevoir

so should i use xerneus or gardevoir.I would prefer using Xerneus cuz of its type.Gardvoir having psychic type makes it worst

Actually no it doesn’t. It’s a very good Pokémon. Look up how good gardevoir is.

Xerneas is BROKEN. However, you would need to repeatedly buy Power Herbs to use it and you could only readily use it once.

First, is Xerneas, I’m not angry yet though.

Xerneas and Mega Gardevoir serves radically different purposes.

Xerneas’s main role is a sweeper, boosting itself with a Geomancy and then becoming Gen 6 second most lethal Pokémon in a single turn. Still untrue with Insurgence bringing broken primal, but you get the picture. As Ezlaturbo says, Xerneas is near unstoppable without specific Pokémon like Primal Groudon, Mega Scizor or Arceus-Poison. However, due to it being very reliant on its Power Herb, it is then stuck with less powerful set like Scarf or Specs. Calm mind too if you want to be able to setup twice in a game.

Mega Gardevoir is my favorite mega and my favorite wallbreaker for three words: Pixilate Hyper Voice. That’s it! A Pixilate + STAB boosted 90 BP move with a 100% accuracy that also bypass substitutes coming out a 165 Base SpA. Plus, Psyshock to pass Special walls and Poison types. Focus blast give it the coverage needed to pass Steels and then the last slot is left to you. WoW to cripple physical attacker on the switch, Taut to be able to blow pas 90%+ of the defensive Pokémon in the game ou Calm Mind and become really unstoppable. Due to Gardevoir enormous movepool, there is al plethora of options for the last attack, like Substitute, Destiny Bond, Encore, Heal Bell, Hypnosis, Magic Coat, Memento, Pain Split, Trick Room, Thunder Wave or Toxic. Gardevoir simply lack speed against fast offensive Pokémon, but if you don’t play on Hard mode, that shouldn’t be that much of a problem.

Choice is yours.

Works better with normal Garde cuz Salac Stored Power, but M. Garde could work. I think it was theGarbodor who made a team like that.

The move set on my Gardevoir right now is:
Calm Mind
Moon blast
Thunder wave
Shadow ball
Should I change my move set?

Replace Thunder Wave For Psychic. Also, if using mega, replace moon blast for hyper voice
