What is it useful for?

Mega Gardevoir is the best Fairy type raid attacker in the game. It is also a decent Psychic type raid attacker, however, it is outclassed in that role by Mega Alakazam and non-mega Mewtwo.

Regular non-mega Gardevoir is a very good Fairy type raid attacker. As a Psychic type raid attacker, it’s useable if you don’t have anything better, but far from top-tier.

Lastly, while not obtainable from these raids, it’s worth noting that in addition to doing more damage in raids, Shadow Gardevoir also is useful in Great League.
