Diantha's Gardevoir (Japanese: カルネのサーナイト Carnet's Sirnight) is Diantha's main Pokémon in the games, anime, and manga.
In the anime
Gardevoir is Diantha's only known Pokémon and is able to Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir. Gardevoir was first seen fighting against Magnus's Absol in Brackish Town in The Bonds of Evolution!, where it used its speed to completely avoid taking any damage before defeating it, doing so without needing to Mega Evolve. Later, Gardevoir battled Pikachu, and was able to completely outmatch its opponent again in terms of speed and power. Before it could win, Gardevoir was captured by Team Rocket, who attempted to flee with it. However, Diantha followed and Mega Evolved Gardevoir, who easily escaped its captors and sent them blasting off.
It reappeared in a flashback in Mega Revelations!, and also in a fantasy in Summer of Discovery!.
In Battling Into the Hall of Fame!, it was revealed to have evolved from a Ralts and to have been with Diantha since she was young. This was shown when it appeared alongside her on an old photo in the Pokémon Summer Camp Hall of Fame.
In Championing a Research Battle!, Gardevoir battled Ash's Greninja. Although Gardevoir initially held the upper hand, it eventually had to Mega Evolve to keep up with Greninja's unique transformation. When Greninja perfected its new form, it overpowered Gardevoir, but passed out from the resulting strain. Gardevoir was then targeted by Team Rocket again, but it easily sent them blasting off. It then dropped to its knees in exhaustion; Diantha thanked it for a job well done and recalled it.
It reappeared in A Towering Takeover! with Diantha. It was seen trying to protect Lumiose City citizens from Team Flare's attack. It appeared again in Coming Apart at the Dreams!, Rocking Kalos Defenses!, and Forming a More Perfect Union!, where it continued to protect the Kalos region from Team Flare and assisted in the battle to destroy the Giant Rock.
It appeared again in Till We Compete Again!, during a flashback.
Personality and characteristics
Calm just like its Trainer, Gardevoir proved powerful in its debut appearance, being able to dodge attacks from opponents with and without verbal commands, also proving a powerful bond with its Trainer.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Gardevoir is Diantha's only known Pokémon. It is able to Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir. It debuted in Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change in the Lysandre Café with its Trainer, where Diantha had it Mega Evolve to make Lysandre back off from threatening Trevor, Shauna, and Tierno.
It later reappeared to battle Chalmers's multiple Skrelp. Using its psychic powers, Gardevoir rescued Gurkinn and his Heracross from drowning in a lake. Afterward, it Mega Evolved to fight against Chalmers's Dragalge, which it easily defeated with Pixilate-powered Hyper Beam. Gardevoir later helps save a wild Diancie from a thief alongside Gurkinn's Heracross and Korrina's Lucario.
In Changing Gengar, Gardevoir was used to battle against Malva and her Braixen. Braixen starts the battle with Magic Room, surrounding them both in a giant sphere that isolates them from the outside. Malva notes that her plan was to use Magic Room to try and prevent Gardevoir from using Mega Evolution, only to find that move has no effect on Mega Stones. Despite this, Malva continues to order Braixen to furiously attack and trap Diantha. As they battle, the Magic Room begins to sink into the ground. Y and Shauna attempt to stop this, but are unable to break open the Magic Room barrier before it fully disappears.
In Yveltal Steals, Gardevoir battles against Malva's Talonflame. Due to Malva stealing her Mega Charm, Diantha is unable to Mega Evolve Gardevoir during this battle. The battle is later interrupted when Malva runs off to try and save Lysandre from falling to his defeat at the hands of X.
