So is there any real, objective reason to use mega gardevoir now that tapu lele exists?
In all seriousness, the only reason i can think
of is the higher base speed. Hyper voice on its own doesn't seem worthy enough to waste my mega slot.
252 SpA Gardevoir-Mega Psychic vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 177-208 (51.9 - 60.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Pixilate Gardevoir-Mega Hyper Voice vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 211-249 (61.8 - 73%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Twisted Spoon Tapu Lele Psychic vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 267-315 (78.2 - 92.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Tapu Lele Psychic vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 222-262 (65.1 - 76.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Tapu Lele Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 156-184 (45.7 - 53.9%) -- 46.1% chance to 2HKO
The reason is that Lele will probably get moved to Ubers because it shits on Smogon's precious Toxapex too hard
Gardevoir has lots of support options that Tapu Lele doesn't have.

Why not just use both?

But does Alomomola?

Because mega meta and zam pair with lele better than garde does?

Alakazam and Metagross are the only men Lele needs in her life. Gardevoir doesn't cut it for her.

Gardevoir beats Substitute variants of Zygarde and Buzzwole with Pixilate Hyper Voice.

Finally, an actual reason to use Garde.
