I heard of someone teching this in a Fairybox deck as a way to use fairy energy for damage, but it didn't seem to go so well.

That, and I T1 Maxied for Machamp with a medicham deck on him and lysandred it out for 180 the next turn. :P

With that aside, I believe it has potential to stall against a steel deck, especially in the FAIRYCHARMS variant of the deck.

Straight M gardevoir actually seems pretty inconsistent... it seems good as a one of or 2 of in another fairy deck though.

Too bad Gardevoir's attack isn't something like "Psychic research" "search your opponent's discard pile for a supporter and use its effect", but rather an attack that will hardly do much to shift the game

Though, when the next set comes out (I can't believe I'm even saying this), you can T2 Brilliant for 180 arrow using Aromatisse, Xernease, dragonite EX, DDE, and mega turbo (like that will ever happen)

As I've said before, I'm just a collector not a player so I'm only going on how the card looks and this card is stunning. Properly stunning, maybe the best art from Primal Clash.

I don't really see anything that would make this card useful for those means.

I've not even been out of tune with the meta for even 3 months and now it's like you're speaking a foreign language now.

Maybe if lucky.

This isn't M Gardevoir, though! M Gardevoir looks like a pain to set up.

Well, if it were that, it may be run all on its own in everything.

That requires a lot of setup, so while possible, not likely.

Best from Primal Clash? I've not seen much from Primal Clash, but that's a bold statement. I do like the coloring, though.
