Kirlia (Japanese: キルリア Kirlia) is a Psychic-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Kirlia has a white body and looks as if it's wearing a mini-skirt. Kirlia has skinny, green legs. Kirlia's hair doesn't block its eyes as much as Ralts's hair does. Kirlia's hair has bangs that reach down to its shoulders and the two red fins have shifted their position.

Gender differences

No physical differences, but a male Kirlia can evolve into an Gallade when exposed to an Awakening Stone or evolve into Gardevoir when it reaches Level 30 while a female Kirlia can only evolve into Gardevoir.

Special abilities

Trace: Kirlia takes on the ability of its opponent

Synchronize: If Kirlia is frozen, burned, paralyzed, or confused, the opponent becomes the same

In the anime

Kirlia first appeared in Jirachi: Wishmaker. Butler used the Emotion Pokémon for a magic act and to fight Absol.

Elijah used a Kirlia in a movie for AG086. The Emotion Pokémon had a "damsel-in-distress" role for the movie it was used in.

Kirlia also appeared in AG109 alongside its evolved form, Gardevoir. Both of them sent Jessie, James and Meowth flying when the Rocket Trio cornered Max and Ash's Snorunt while they were hurrying to send Ralts to the Pokémon Center. However, Kirlia and Gardevoir thought that Max was also stealing Ralts, too. When Ralts blocked Kirlia and Gardevoir's Psychic, all hostilities were ignored and the two other Psychic Pokémon left. Kirlia and Gardevoir appeared once more at the near-end of the episode to send James flying (Ralts already launched Jessie and Meowth for posing themselves as a Gardevoir and Kirlia).

A Kirlia was living in an abandoned mining colony in AG146. Jessie's Wobbuffet fell in love with the Emotion Pokémon.

In the manga

In Pokémon Special, Ruby has a Ralts, nicknamed Ruru. While he was with Wally, Wally wound up keeping Ruru after an earthquake seperated Ruby and Wally. Ruru was returned to Ruby when he met up with Wally again.
