Gardevoir (Japanese: サーナイト Sirknight) is a Psychic-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Kirlia starting at level 30. It is one of Ralts's final forms, the other being Gallade.
Biology
Physiology
The tutu-like skirt that Gardevoir had as a Kirlia had became an elegant ballroom gown, with a similar green underside. Its ‘hair’ style has also changed, with ‘curls’ down the sides of its head. Gardevoir has long, slender, white legs underneath the gown. Gardevoir's arms are now green; its arms are connected to the hand with no defined wrist. Gardevoir owns long, slender fingers that are connected to the arms directly, appearing more glove-like. The red fin-like horns it had on its head before evolving have now moved to its chest and its back. Gardevoir also has spikes to the side of its face that has a close resemblance to a masquerade mask. Gardevoir has a band of green extending on its chest to the centermost horn and then connecting to the sleeve-like arms, almost appearing to resemble a Torso or top-like part to a dress.
Gender differences
None. While Gardevoir is often considered to be the female counterpart to Gallade, male Gardevoir also exist.
Special abilities
Gardevoir can sense the feelings of people and other Pokémon. It can also see the future clearly. Gardevoir has the psychokinetic power to distort the dimensions and create a small black hole, in order to protect its Trainer. Apparently, Gardevoir does not feel the pull of gravity because it supports itself with psychic power. It also has the power to teleport. In addition to Psychic-type moves, Gardevoir can also learn moves of a variety of types, such as Energy Ball, Thunderbolt, Focus Blast, Shadow Ball, and Charge Beam. As a fully evolved Pokémon it can also learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.
Behavior
Gardevoir are known widely for their loyalty to their Trainers, even to the point of sacrificing their own life for them. In the wild they go in family groups, caring heavily for their young.
Habitat
They prefer living with their Trainers in urban areas, but they can also be found in the wild.

Trivia
- Out of the three original stages of Ralts, Gardevoir is the only one that had its name changed in the English version.
- Despite its human-like appearance, it isn't in the Human-Like Egg group.
- In My Pokémon Ranch, Gardevoir displays the ability of levitation/flight. With the Trace Ability, this is possible by copying Levitate. It may also be the result of Gardevoir's ability to ignore normal gravitational pull and float using its psychic abilities.
- Gardevoir's number in the Sinnoh Pokédex (Platinum only) and the Almia Browser are the same: 159.
- Although Gardevoir could always learn Will-O-Wisp by breeding, it was not able to learn it by TM until Generation V, despite Will-O-Wisp becoming a TM in Generation IV.
Origin
Gardevoir resembles a ballroom dancer. Its exaggerated head with minimal facial expression and an overall frail, featureless physique could also be attributed to anesama ningyou, a style of traditional Japanese paper doll. Its protective nature over its Trainer may suggest that it is based on a guardian angel, though its ghost-like characteristics could also suggest that it is based on ghosts that refuse to leave this world.
Name origin
Gardevoir may be a combination of garde (French for guard) and devoir (French for duty). It may also be a combination of garder (French verb for to keep) and voir (French verb for to see), reflected in its Pokédex data, which explains how Gardevoir will protect its Trainer even at the cost of its own life and that Gardevoir has the ability to see into the future.
Sirknight may be taken to mean さあ、ナイト saa, naito ("come, knight") or Sir Knight.
