So yeah, since Gardevoir has the very versatile ability Trace (and is humanoid, so it's funnier than it would be on Porygon or Porygon2), I wondered if that affects its appearance at all if it copies particular abilities and (if it does) how specific abilities look on it. And since we'll never get an official answer, I thought, "Why not ask other artists what they think it does visually?" So this topic was made and your task is clear. And don't worry if you don't have artistic talent or expensive painting programs; you can still describe what you think would happen for a specific ability and maybe someone who likes the idea can draw it for the both of you. I've provided a few examples, but they're still up for debate.

Multitype has already been removed since it can't be Traced, and Wonder Guard CAN be Traced.
