Thanks to its ability Trace, Gardevoir is specifically used to revenge kill common threatening weather sweepers for Fairy-type teams. With coverage moves like Energy Ball and Focus Blast, Gardevoir is able to revenge kill threats like Seismitoad, Drednaw, Barraskewda, and Excadrill against Water- and Ground-type teams, respectively. Additionally, Gardevoir helps in beating Poison-type Pokemon such as Toxtricity and Gengar, which can be pain otherwise for Fairy-type teams. Gardevoir has low bulk, so it should be brought in via a free switch after a Pokemon has fainted to revenge kill the foe or through aggressive double switching to threaten opposing Pokemon. The Speed EVs along with a Choice Scarf and Trace make it possible to outspeed aforementioned weather sweepers. The remaining EVs go into Special Attack to ensure maximum damage output.

Slower Pokemon such as Togekiss and Mimikyu benefit from Gardevoir's ability to revenge kill faster Pokemon like Salazzle and weather abusers of Water- and Ground-type teams. Wallbreakers like Nasty Plot Togekiss and Bulk Up Grimmsnarl appreciate Gardevoir as a cleaner. Due to its middling Speed stat, faster revenge killers can outspeed and threaten to beat it, hence Pokemon like Ribombee can provide Sticky Web support to allow Gardevoir to outspeed opposing Pokemon more readily.

Now that we know Healing Wish isn't wonky, let's remove Moonblast and replace it with Healing Wish.

I'd be very specific here about why Gardevoir is used: to revenge kill weather sweepers. If it weren't for that fact, it'd be a lot worse, but weather is hugely important.

I think for the EV spread line, we could actually combine that with the earlier line about how Gardevoir needs Choice Scarf in order to outspeed the weather sweepers.

You could probably add some details on using Gardevoir to handle Poison-types, since stuff like Toxtricity and Gengar can be a pain otherwise.

I don't think it's necessary to mention Stealth Rock support in a mini analysis when it's mostly just token information.

"The Speed EVs along with a Choice Scarf and Trace makes it possible to outspeed aforementioned weather sweepers."

Toxtricity is slower than both Togekiss and Mimikyu - probably find a better example.

"...hence Pokemon like Ribombee can provide it with Sticky Web support to allow it to outspeed opposing Pokemon more readilymake it more faster."
