Jynx is part of the trio with magmar and electabuzz.They all have baby Pokemon that evolve a lvl.30( I think ) and plus she is one of the most useful ice type Pokemon with lovely kiss and her speed. The evolution item could be a king's rock so she could be a ice queen\princess type deal

Those three never were a real trio. They might have been intended to be one (I believe gamefreak said in an interview long ago that they were initially meant to be the legendary trio, but were kept as regular good late-game pokemon after they made the birds instead), but that idea didn't make it into the actual games, since they have been used for different roles from the beginning.
They did all gain a pre-evolution with gen 2 (but then again who didn't), and they each had one of the elemental punches as their signature moves, but these two things were a homage to the "initial trio idea" at most.
What I mean is, Electabuzz and Magmar are very much a duo, while Jynx has been something unique in many areas from the start.
If I showed you Electabuzz and Magmar...and then asked you to imagine a third Ice-based counterpart, you would not be thinking "weird black-faced ugly diva thing with a dress and blonde hair".
Here are some of the things that Electabuzz and Magmar share, while Jynx differs:
-Electabuzz & Magmar - Jynx
-pure elemental types - an extra Psychic type
-a 3/4 male ratio - 100% female
-quite specific shared design:
---a humanoid animal - "weird black-faced ugly diva thing with a dress and blonde hair"
---cliche element pattern and color covering their body - unrelated design fitting palette
-very close stat total (360/365 -> 490/495 -> 540/540) - noticably weaker (305 -> 455)
-version exclusives in RB/FRLG and BW2 - unrelated/different methods of obtaining
-1 ability related to element, (and both Vital Spirit as hidden) - unrelated appropriate abilities
-best stats of both are both attacks, each focusing on one - just special
-learn moves at same levels (a bit less identical in some gens, but only minor differences) - doesn't (most gens its like completely in between)
and of course Jynx not gaining the powerhouse third stage, but thats whats causing this reoccurring wish, so that doesn't count.
Also it wouldn't evolve via Kings Rock either. Would be a new Item like the rest.

ya, here is their new chain, I think.
Ralts: Psychic
Kirlia: Psychic/Fairy
Gardevoir: Psychic/Fairy
I'm very confident it is:
Ralts - Psychic
Kirlia - Psychic
Gardevoir - Psychic / Fairy
Gallade - Psychic / Fighting
Makes perfect sense turning either Fairy or Fighting. Instead of gaining Fairy halfway and then ditching it for Fighting as Gallade, it starts specializing into one of them after the final evolution.

Isn't poison weak against Psychic?
It is, but Fairy will be weak to Poison, so you'll have to watch out for faster pokes who use Poison moves.

Gardevoir will now be weak to bug, ghost, steel (according to the rumor) and poison (apparently, poison always did 1x against psychic), inmune to dragon, get half damage from fairy (actaully, make that 0.25x damage, because fairy), fighting and psychic, and 1x from dark and everything else.
Howd you get 1x Dark and 0.25x Fairy?
Fairy apparently doesn't resist anything.
Bug, Ghost, Dark because its Psy
Poison, Steel because its Fairy
Immune to Dragon
Resisting whatever Psy resists (Fight, Psy)
