Kirlia (Japanese: キルリア Kirlia) is a dual-type Psychic/Fairy Pokémon. Prior to Generation VI, it was a pure Psychic-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Ralts starting at level 20 and evolves into Gardevoir starting at level 30 or, if male, into Gallade when exposed to a Dawn Stone.

Biology

Kirlia is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon that appears to be wearing a tutu. Most of its body is white, and there are three ruffles on each hip. Beneath the ruffles, it has skinny green legs with pointed feet. Its arms are also thin with two digits each. It has green hair that covers most of its face and reaches its shoulders on either side, resembling two ponytails. Large, red eyes are visible on either side of the hair that covers its face. On each side of its head is a flat, red horn that resembles a hairpin.

Kirlia's horns are used to amplify its psychokinetic power and distort the air around it. The distortion in the air causes scenery mirages and can cause a rip in dimensions. This ability also allows this Pokémon to see into the future. It enjoys dancing on sunny mornings, and grows beautiful when exposed to a Trainer with positive emotions. Kirlia inhabits urban areas.

Major appearances

Kirlia first appeared in Jirachi: Wish Maker under the ownership of Butler. It was used for a magic act during the Millennium Festival and to fight an Absol.

Elijah used a Kirlia in a movie in Lights, Camerupt, Action!. The Emotion Pokémon played the damsel in distress in the movie, being taken by an Exploud and later rescued by Plusle and Minun.

A wild Kirlia appeared in Do I Hear a Ralts? along with a Gardevoir. Both of them sent Team Rocket flying when they cornered Max and Snorunt while they were hurrying to send Ralts to the Pokémon Center. However, Kirlia and Gardevoir thought that Max was also trying to steal Ralts. When Ralts blocked Kirlia and Gardevoir's Psychic, all hostilities were ignored and the two Pokémon left. Kirlia and Gardevoir appeared once more at the near-end of the episode to send James flying as Ralts had already launched Jessie and Meowth for posing as Gardevoir and Kirlia.

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

Two Kirlia appeared in Mutiny in the Bounty!. One appearing in a flashback, being one of Pokémon Hunter J's stolen Pokémon, and the other used by Melodi so Ash and his friends can find out where Pokémon Hunter J and her minions will strike next after Ash's Pikachu, Melodi's Gardevoir and Team Rocket's Meowth were stolen.

Zoey was revealed to have obtained a Kirlia in Double-Time Battle Training!, where she used it along with her Leafeon in a Double Battle against Dawn's Cyndaquil and Mamoswine. It was later shown to have evolved into Gallade in A Grand Fight for Winning!.
