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. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Gallade using the Galladite.

Biology

Gallade is a white, bipedal 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 are shaped like tonfas with extendable blades in its elbows. 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 that is capable of predicting its foe's moves. This Pokémon is just as protective of their trainer as their female counterpart Gardevoir.

As Mega Gallade, its entire becomes white. Red plates emerge on its arms, the blue head crest is slightly longer,the spikes on its head are enlongated and gain two cape-like protrusions on the back, give it a knightly appearance. When the situation demands, Mega Gallade can use its psychic power to reshape both arms into blades simultaneously, and fight using a dual-wielding style.

Trivia

• Gallade's Attack and Special Attack are the reverse of Gardevoir's.
• Gallade's number in the Sinnoh Pokédex (Platinum only) and the Almia Browser are the same: 160.
• Gallade and Gardevoir are the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that are in the same evolutionary family.
• Mega Gallade has the highest Attack stat of all non-legendary Psychic-type Pokémon.
• As of Generation VIII, Gallade and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon that are in the Amorphous and Human-Like egg groups.

Origin

The single fin on Gallade's head resembles the helmet worn by murmillo-class Roman gladiators, or the Corinthian helmet with a horsehair crest worn by Greek hoplites. It may also be based on medieval knights. Additionally, its battle stances in various media resemble the en garde position and parries of modern fencing. Mega Gallade's cape is similar to a matador or bullfighter's fabric.

Name origin

Gallade may be a combination of gallant and blade.

Erureido may be a combination of earl (in antiquity, a chieftain or military leader; in present day, a rank in the British nobility) or elbow and blade, referring to the sword-like appendages on its arms.
