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.
It, along with Gallade, appears to be distantly related to the Paradox Pokémon Iron Valiant.

Forms

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.[1] Iron Valiant bares a resemblance to Mega Gardevoir. Iron Valiant bares a resemblance to a combined Mega Gardevoir and Mega Gallade.
Evolution
Gardevoir evolves from Kirlia and is one of the final forms of Ralts, the other being Gallade.

Trivia
Origin
Gardevoir seems to be based on a feminine principal ballet dancer as well as the concept of 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, 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, and possibly a pun of さあ、ナイト saa, naito ("Come here, Knight").
