'''Kirlia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: キルリア ''Kirlia'') is a {{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

'''Kirlia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キルリア''' ''Kirlia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.


=Biology=
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ralts}} starting at [[level]] 20 and evolves into {{p|Gardevoir}} if male or female starting at level 30 or, if male, {{p|Gallade}} when exposed to a [[Dawn Stone]].
==Physiology==
Kirlia has a white body and looks as if it's wearing a mini-skirt.  Kirlia has skinny, green legs.  Kirlia's hair doesn't block its eyes as much as Ralts's hair does.  Kirlia's hair has bangs that reach down to its shoulders and the two red horns have shifted their position.


===Gender differences===
==Biology==
No physical differences, but a male Kirlia can evolve into an {{p|Gallade}} when exposed to a Dawn Stone or evolve into {{p|Gardevoir}} when it reaches Level 30 while a female Kirlia can only evolve into Gardevoir.
Kirlia is a bipedal, maiden-like humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that appears to be wearing a tutu. Most of its body is colored white, and there are three ruffles on each hip. Beneath the ruffles, it has skinny green legs with long, pointed feet. Its arms are also thin with two digits each. It has green hair that covers most of its face and reaches its shoulders on either side, resembling two {{wp|ponytail}}s. Large, red eyes are visible on either side of the hair that covers its face. On each side of its head is a flat, crimson horn that resembles a hairpin.


===Special abilities===
Kirlia's horns are used to amplify its psychokinetic power and distort the air around it. The distortion in the air causes scenery mirages and can cause a rip in dimensions. This ability also allows Kirlia to see into the future. It enjoys dancing on sunny mornings, and grows beautiful when exposed to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} with positive emotions. Kirlia inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Kirlia is known to dance while it sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> The reason is due to Kirlia having a premonition of a fun future in its dreams.


==Behavior==
===Evolution===
==Habitat==
Kirlia evolves from {{p|Ralts}} and evolves into either {{p|Gardevoir}} if male or female or, if [[Gender|male]], {{p|Gallade}}.
==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Kirlia also appeared in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' alongside its evolved form, Gardevoir. Both of them sent [[Jessie]], [[James]] and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] flying when the  Rocket Trio cornered [[Max]] and [[Ash's Glalie|Ash's Snorunt]] while they were hurrying to send Ralts to the [[Pokémon Center]].  However, Kirlia and Gardevoir thought that Max was also stealing Ralts, too.  When Ralts blocked Kirlia and Gardevoir's {{m|Psychic}}, all hostilities were ignored and the two other Psychic Pokémon left.  Kirlia and Gardevoir appeared once more at the near-end of the episode to send James flying (Ralts already launched Jessie and Meowth for posing themselves as a Gardevoir and Kirlia).

In ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'', a {{pkmn2|wild}} Kirlia and Gardevoir sent {{TRT}} flying when they cornered [[Max]] and {{AP|Snorunt}} while they were caring for a Ralts and taking it to the [[Pokémon Center]]. However, Kirlia and Gardevoir thought Max was also trying to steal Ralts. When Ralts blocked Kirlia and Gardevoir's {{m|Psychic}}, the two Pokémon calmed down and left. Later, Kirlia and Gardevoir sent [[James]] blasting off, as Ralts had already launched [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} away for posing as Gardevoir and Kirlia, respectively.

Its hair is styled into {{wp|pigtail}}s, with its horns positioned like {{wp|barette}}s or {{wp|scrunchie}}s. The red horns also resemble two halves of a {{wp|heart shape|heart}}, which may relate to its ability to sense emotions.

Kirlia (Japanese: キルリア Kirlia) is a dual-type Psychic/Fairy Pokémon introduced in Generation III. Prior to Generation VI, it was a pure Psychic-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Ralts starting at level 20 and evolves into Gardevoir if male or female starting at level 30 or, if male, Gallade when exposed to a Dawn Stone.

Biology

Kirlia is a bipedal, maiden-like humanoid Pokémon that appears to be wearing a tutu. Most of its body is colored white, and there are three ruffles on each hip. Beneath the ruffles, it has skinny green legs with long, pointed feet. Its arms are also thin with two digits each. It has green hair that covers most of its face and reaches its shoulders on either side, resembling two ponytails. Large, red eyes are visible on either side of the hair that covers its face. On each side of its head is a flat, crimson horn that resembles a hairpin.

Kirlia's horns are used to amplify its psychokinetic power and distort the air around it. The distortion in the air causes scenery mirages and can cause a rip in dimensions. This ability also allows Kirlia to see into the future. It enjoys dancing on sunny mornings, and grows beautiful when exposed to a Trainer with positive emotions. Kirlia inhabits urban areas. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Kirlia is known to dance while it sleeps.[1] The reason is due to Kirlia having a premonition of a fun future in its dreams.

Evolution

Kirlia evolves from Ralts and evolves into either Gardevoir if male or female or, if male, Gallade.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia

Origin

Kirlia seems to be based a young, feminine ballet dancer and the concept of empathy. The white frills surrounding its body resemble a tutu, and its thin, pointed legs make it appear as if it is standing en pointe and wearing green tights. Its hair is styled into pigtails, with its horns positioned like barettes or scrunchies. The red horns also resemble two halves of a heart, which may relate to its ability to sense emotions.

Name origin

Kirlia may be derived from Kirlian photography (a special way of taking pictures that supposedly reveals psychic energy auras around subjects).
