Gardevoir is Diantha's first known Pokémon and is able toMega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir. InThe Bonds of Evolution!, it was first seen fightingMagnus'sAbsol inBrackish Town, where it used its speed to completely avoid taking any damage before defeating it, doing so without needing to Mega Evolve. Later, Gardevoir battledPikachu, and was able to completely outmatch its opponent again in terms of speed and power. Before it could win, Gardevoir was captured byTeam Rocket, who attempted to flee with it. However, Diantha followed and Mega Evolved Gardevoir, who easily escaped its captors and sent them blasting off.
InBattling Into the Hall of Fame!, an old photo in thePokémon Summer Camp Hall of Fame revealed it to have evolved from aRalts and to have been with Diantha since she was young.
InChampioning a Research Battle!, Gardevoir battledAsh's Greninja. Although Gardevoir initially held the upper hand, it eventually had to Mega Evolve to keep up with Greninja'sunique transformation. When Greninja perfected its new form, it overpowered Gardevoir, but passed out from the resulting strain. Gardevoir was then targeted by Team Rocket again, but it easily sent them blasting off. It then dropped to its knees in exhaustion; Diantha thanked it for a job well done and recalled it.
InA Towering Takeover!, Gardevoir was seen trying to protectLumiose City citizens fromTeam Flare's attack alongside Diantha.
