The best ability for Gardevoir in Tera Raid Battles is Synchronize - causing the opposing Pokemon to receive the same status condition it gives to Gardevoir. This cripples the opposing Pokemon without having to use a turn to inflict a status condition.

We also recommend getting a Gardevoir with a Fairy Tera Type because of its immunity to Dragon and the boost it gives to its Fairy-type STAB. As a Support Pokemon, an Impish nature would be best, as it needs the Defense boost rather than a Special Attack boost since it won't need to attack.

Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards a bulky defense to help with survivability and to support your team longer in the field. Max out your Defense and HP EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Special Defense. The Light Clay would make Reflect and Light Screen linger longer in the field; decreasing damage taken from the opposing Pokemon.

Start out a Tera Raid Battle by using Helping Hand to boost your allies' attack. Follow it with Reflect or Light Screen to mitigate damage from the opposing Pokemon. If you see that your allies have low HP, use Life Dew to heal them. Otherwise, use cheers to further support your allies.

Set up Light Screen and Reflect again when they're no longer in the field.

Catch a Fairy Tera Type Kirlia Near Cities and Lighthouses

You can catch a Kirlia with a Fairy Tera Type near lighthouses and cities like Port Marinada and Levincia. Check every Kirlia that you catch to make sure it has the Fairy Tera Type. Otherwise, keep catching until you find one.

Afterwards, level it up to Lv. 30 so it evolves into a Gardevoir.

When trying to catch a Kirlia, make sure to bring a Pokemon that has False Swipe and can inflict a status effect to make it easier to catch.
