#475 Gallade
“Gallade (Japanese: エルレイド Erureido) is a dual-type Psychic/Fighting Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It evolves from a male Kirlia when exposed to a Dawn Stone. It is one of Ralts‘s final forms, the other being Gardevoir.
Gallade can Mega Evolve into Mega Gallade using the Galladite.
The Paradox Pokémon Iron Valiant is said to be a future relative of Gallade and Gardevoir or a counterpart of them from a parallel timeline.
Gallade is a white, bipedal, bishōnen-like Pokémon. Its lower body consists of rounded hips with strong legs. It has a thin green torso with sharp, red horns sticking out of its chest and back. Its arms resemble tonfas with extendable, blade-like elbows, which are sharper than any human-crafted sword and can be enhanced with psychic energy during combat. Its head resembles a gladiator’s helmet with a white face, red eyes, and a teal head crest. It has spikes on the sides of its face.
It is a master of courtesy and swordsmanship capable of predicting its foe’s moves, allowing it to strike preemptively. True to Gallade’s honorable warrior image, it is just as protective of its Trainer as its counterpart, Gardevoir, using the blades on its elbows to defend. Gallade is known to be sharply aware of a person’s wish for help and seeks out those who need its assistance in battle, fighting savagely with fast and fierce attacks. It is capable of teaching itself swordsmanship at an impressive rate. As shown in Pokémon Adventures, Gallade can extend its blades at will to attack opponents from behind. This Pokémon inhabits mountainous areas. As mentioned in the Sleep Style Dex, Gallade has been observed sleeping in a formal position with one knee up. It is believed that Gallade does this because, even in its sleep, it is preparing to fight and protect both humans and Pokémon at any moment. Iron Valiant shares a resemblance to Gallade and Gardevoir.“-Bulbapedia.
