This compares base numbers and the type chart; it does not predict a winner. A real battle also depends on level, nature and EVs, the moves each one knows (a Pokémon does not always learn a move of its own type), held items, weather and terrain, and abilities (Gardevoir: Synchronize, Trace, Telepathy; Iron Valiant: Quark Drive), so either one can come out ahead.
