Gallade made a minor appearance in the 10th movie, ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''. He led [[Alice]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and [[Brock]] to the area that [[Baron Alberto]] believed {{an|Darkrai}} had first "infected". He later appeared again some time later.
The mini-skirt that Gallade had as a Kirlia has disappeared, though his body is hourglass-shaped and his lower torso almost resembles a kilt. Gallade has white legs that are wider than his counterpart, Gardevoir's. Like Gardevoir, he has a red horn protruding from his chest and another red horn sticking out of his back, but these are both smaller, the same length, and sharper. Unlike Gardevoir, however, Gallade's arms have blade-like protrusions at the elbows, and his head is shaped somewhat like a gladiator's helmet. Gallade also happens to be a darker shade of green than the other members of his evolutionary line. Gallade, like his counterpart Gardevoir, has spikes to the back of his eyes.
Gender Differences
Gallade is male-only, evolving from a male Kirlia when exposed to the Dawn Stone. However, a Kirlia of either gender can evolve into a Gardevoir at level 30 instead.
Special abilities
Gallade, thanks to its arm blades, which he can withdraw and extend to two lengths, can learn a variety of sword-like attacks in several types. These include Leaf Blade, Night Slash, and the rarely known Psycho Cut. As with other Template:Type2 Pokémon, Gallade can summon Earthquakes, and launch rocks at his opponents (in the forms of Stone Edge, Rock Slide or Rock Tomb). Since Gallade is a fully-evolved Pokémon, he can learn Hyper Beam or Giga Impact.
Behavior
Gallade are masters of courtesy and swordsmanship, defending the weak from harm.

Gallade's number in the Sinnoh Dex in Pokémon Platinum and the Almia Browser is the same: 160. This makes him and his evolution family one of only four families of Pokémon (comprising eleven Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing.
Gallade may be a combination of gladiator, gallant, and blade. It may also be a reference to Sir Galahad. Erlade might be a combination of Earl (meaning chieftain), or elbow, and blade, referring to the sword-like appendages on its arms.
In other languages
