Final Smash: Mega Stored Power
Gardevoir gathers psychic energy into both of her hands, creating a vacuum effect which can pull in any nearby opponents.
After five seconds of preparation, Gardevoir oustretches both of her arms, creating a pillar of psychic energy around herself.
If Ally Switch is used instead, Gallade telports on-stage and cuts the opponent, sending them to the Kalos Pokémon League.
Upon the opponent's arrival, Gallade covers his blades in psychic energy, then rapidly attacks the opponent from every side.
Afterwards, Gallade sends them into the air with a blade of energy as Gardevoir fires a beam of psychic energy from the sky.
While either version of this Final Smash is use, Gardevoir and Gallade take on their Mega Evolution forms before they attack.
