{{iw|bulbapedia|Reflect|move}} is a Psychic-type support move: it creates a barrier which protects the ally team, reducing the damage received from physical attacks for five turns. Gardevoir can learn Reflect with {{s|bulbapedia|TM33}} in every game where both are available.

Gardevoir has two different voice clips in ''Brawl'', with one in the Japanese version and another in non-Japanese versions. In ''Smash 4'', Gardevoir got unique German and French voice clips to accompany the ones from ''Brawl''. All of these are used in ''Ultimate''.

Gardevoir (サーナイト, Sirnight) is a creature from the Pokémon series. It appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Origin

Gardevoir is a Psychic type Pokémon introduced in Generation III, who gained the Fairy type in Generation VI. It is listed in the Pokédex at #282 as the "Embrace Pokémon". Like most Psychic types, it focuses on Special stats. With the introduction of Gallade in Generation IV, Gardevoir is one of two final forms of Ralts, and it can Mega Evolve. It is notably the main Pokémon used by Wally in the original Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald and by Diantha in Pokémon X and Y. Gardevoir and Gallade also have an apparent futuristic relative known as Iron Valiant, a Paradox Pokémon that debuted in Pokémon Violet.

Reflect is a Psychic-type support move: it creates a barrier which protects the ally team, reducing the damage received from physical attacks for five turns. Gardevoir can learn Reflect with TM33 in every game where both are available.

Gardevoir has two different voice clips in Brawl, with one in the Japanese version and another in non-Japanese versions. In Smash 4, Gardevoir got unique German and French voice clips to accompany the ones from Brawl. All of these are used in Ultimate.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

When called from a Poké Ball, Gardevoir encircles itself in a large barrier ("Reflect"), which reflects all opposing projectiles. As the barrier causes no damage in itself, characters are free to continue play within it, though any enemy projectiles used inside will instantly reflect and damage the user. Gardevoir will slowly walk across the stage from end to end for about 15 seconds. Interestingly, it can't reflect Hotheads, but it can detonate Snake's down smash.

Trivia

  • Reflect's behavior is very different between the Pokémon and Smash series, and no true Pokémon equivalent exists. However, similar moves include:
    • Magic Coat, which can bounce back some Status moves. Gardevoir can learn it with a move tutor, though only in games released after Brawl.
    • Mirror Coat, which, if the user is hit by a special attack, deals to the attacker double the damage received. However, the user still takes damage, and Gardevoir is unable to learn it.
  • Gardevoir's trophy in SSB4 is a mirrored pose of its official artwork from Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire onward.
  • Gardevoir is one of few non-Master Ball Pokémon that does no damage.
  • Gardevoir's walking animation in Smash makes a reappearance as an unused walking animation in Pokémon Sun and Moon's data files.
  • Both Gardevoir's Brawl and SSB4 trophy descriptions point out the fact that Gardevoir can be both genders despite having a clearly feminine design. This is never brought up anywhere else in any Pokémon-related media.
