Gardevoir (サーナイト, Sirknight) is a creature from the Pokémon series. It appears as a Poké Ball Pokemon in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. 4.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Poké Ball
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.
Gardevoir's Reflect is the most powerful reflector in the game, doubling a projectile's damage, speed, and knockback. Interestingly, it can't reflect Hotheads, but it can detonate Snake's Down smash.

Trophy information
Origin
Gardevoir is a Psychic/Fairy type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. Like most Psychic types it focuses on Special stats.
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.
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 later games than 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.
