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.
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.
Two Kirlia appeared in Mutiny in the Bounty!. One appearing in a flashback, being one of Pokémon HunterJ'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.
Kirlia made an appearance in The Rise of Darkrai as one of the Pokémon attacked by Darkrai and having nightmares. Alicia, Alice's grandmother, treated Kirlia and woke it up, along with Roserade and Luxray.

Ruby has a Ralts which evolved into a Kirlia, nicknamed Rara. While he was with Wally, Wally wound up keeping Rara (then still a Ralts) after an earthquake separated Ruby and Wally. In Prior to Rayquaza Redemption I she evolved into Kirlia. Rara was returned to Ruby when he met up with Wally again. In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire chapter, Rara evolved into a Gardevoir while under Sapphire's training.
