Gardevoir Hidden Power Ground, worth keeping over other moves?
Wondering if my Gardevoir's Hidden Power Ground is worth keeping over Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball or Energy Ball?
Its other moves are Calm Mind, Stored Power and Moonblast. Having a Ground type move will help it take care of its fairy type weakness, Steel.
Well it's not that it's just steel, Ground is good for Rock, Poison, Fire and Electric, compared to Thunderbolt for Water and Flying, which don't have resistances to Fairy or Psychic.

Hidden Power Ground has poor coverage and power for your Pokémon.
Might I suggest Stored Power, Shadow Ball, and Moonblast? Currently, Ghost/Fairy is only resisted by Pyroar, who will get hit fairly hard by your Stored Power backed by Calm Mind.
Stored Power, Thunderbolt, Moonblast also gets fairly solid coverage as well, while being more powerful. However, this move set is resisted by Ferrothorn.

No, I personally believe that you should use thunderbolt instead as it has a high accuracy rate and it can paralyse foes sometimes. Hidden power is good but if you want to keep it just because for your fear of steel types (which btw aren't so common anymore due to the Kalos region changes). Then you might as well have another pokemon to deal with it.
Hope it helps, Good choice getting X or Y!
