Gardevoir (Japanese: サーナイト Sirnight) 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 Kirlia starting at level 30. It is one of Ralts's final forms, the other being Gallade.

Gardevoir can Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir using the Gardevoirite.

The Paradox Pokémon Iron Valiant is said to be a future relative of Gardevoir and Gallade.

Biology

Gardevoir is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon whose body resembles a flowing gown. Most of its body is white, but its hair, arms, and the underside of its gown are green. Its hair curls over its face and down the sides of its head. Behind its red eyes are short spikes, resembling a masquerade mask. It has long arms with three fingers on each hand and slender white legs. A red, fin-like horn extends from its chest, and a shorter, more rounded horn extends from the back. A band of green on its chest extends to the center of the front horn and connects to its sleeve-like arms.

Gardevoir is able to see the future using its psychic powers. Its telekinetic powers enable it to lift objects and support itself without feeling the pull of gravity. Additionally, it is able to create small black holes, distort dimensions, and fire a destructive energy wave. Gardevoir's power reaches its peak when protecting its Trainer, whom it will protect with its life. This Pokémon typically inhabits urban areas, but has occasionally been sighted in snowy regions. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Gardevoir often sleeps upright in order to protect people or Pokémon instantly at any moment. There is a rumor that if anyone sees Gardevoir moving its dress-like body in its sleep, they will never forget that beautiful sight.

Forms

Gardevoir can Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir.

As Mega Gardevoir, it turns almost completely white; only its hair remains green. Its gown becomes longer and wider, resembling a bridal gown. The forearms are slightly thicker with a pointed extension above the elbow, resembling gloves. Its facial spikes are larger and now curl upwards. In contrast, its hair is now shorter and more tightly curled. There are now two horns in the center of its chest, extending to either side. These horns are said to be a physical manifestation of this Pokémon's heart, and it is able to use tremendous psychic power now that it is open.

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

• Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team: Gardevoir is the spirit of a Pokémon who sacrificed herself for her Trainer. She comes to the player in their dreams, explaining things and generally appearing after important periods in the game. She is revived later in the game, but doesn't remember anything about her previous life.
• Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: Gardevoir is a member of Team Charm. She knew Wigglytuff from long ago. Together, they and the player's team explore Aegis Cave and defeat Regigigas.
• Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky: Along with their role in Explorers of Time/Darkness, Team Charm debut in their own special episode, Here Comes Team Charm!. The story extends to how they meet Wigglytuff and Team AWD.
• Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: Team Charm is also present in Super Mystery Dungeon. In this game, Gardevoir has a connection to Gengar, hinting that she may be the same Gardevoir that appeared in Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team.

Trophy information

NA: Gardevoir is a Psychic/Fairy-type Pokémon, bearing an elegant appearance that male and female Gardevoir share. In Smash Bros., it uses Reflect to turn back projectiles and items launched toward it. Helpfully, it won't affect any of the shots from the player who summoned it. Take advantage of this!

PAL: This Psychic- and Fairy-type may look like a woman in a long dress, but there are both male and female Gardevoir out there! If you get one in battle, it'll use Reflect, creating a barrier that stops projectiles from hitting you and your allies. It won't block any of your shots, though, so feel free to fire all the projectiles you like!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Gardevoir returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball. Once again, it uses Reflect to bounce off projectiles. Gardevoir also appears as a Spirit.

Trivia

• Gardevoir's Attack and Special Attack stats are the reverse of Gallade's, while their other stats are identical.
• Mega Gardevoir has the highest base Special Attack stat of all Fairy-type Pokémon.
• Gardevoir and Gallade are the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that are in the same evolutionary line.
• As of Generation VIII, Gardevoir and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon that are in the Amorphous and Human-Like Egg Groups.
• The trophy descriptions for Gardevoir in both Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U point out the fact that Gardevoir can be both genders, despite sporting a feminine-looking design. This is never brought up in any other Pokémon-related media.
• Gardevior was featured in the ninth episode of Beyond the Pokédex series.

Origin

Gardevoir seems to be based on a feminine principal ballet dancer and a knight, as well as the concepts of chivalry and empathy. The long, white frills surrounding its body resemble a floor-length dress, and its thin, pointed legs make it appear as if it is standing en pointe and wearing white tights. Its hair is styled into a bob cut, which resembles a barbuta helmet, and the short spikes behind its eyes resemble a masquerade mask. Its red horns resemble half of a heart symbol and seem to pierce its chest, implying that its ability to sense emotions is even stronger than its pre-evolved forms since the horns are connected directly to its heart.

Gardevoir's Fairy type and protective nature over its Trainer seem to be inspired by guardian angels, and its flowing, white body is reminiscent of ghosts or spirits such as a White Lady. Its large head, minimal facial features, and frail physique are similar to anesama ningyō, a type of Japanese paper doll.

Mega Gardevoir appears to be based on a ballroom dancer wearing a large ball gown and evening gloves.

Name origin

Gardevoir may be a combination of the French words garde (guard) or garder (to guard) and devoir (duty), as well as voir (to see; referring to its Psychic powers).

Sirnight may be a combination of sir (an honorific for male knights), knight, Syrinx (a nymph from ancient Greek mythology), and possibly a pun of さあ、ナイト saa, naito ("Come here, Knight").
