Gardevoir (Japanese: サーナイト Sirnight) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon. It is one of two final evolutions for the Ralts family.

Biology

Physiology

The mini-skirt that Gardevoir had as a Kirlia is now an elegant ballroom gown. Gardevoir has long, slender, white legs underneath the gown. It gives the impression that it is levitating gracefully above the ground. Gardevoir has a red horn on its chest and another red horn on its back. Gardevoir's arms are now green and the red fin-like horns it had on its head as Ralts/Kirlia are now gone.

Gender differences

None.

Its most recent appearance was in Mutiny in the Bounty. It belonged to a girl named Melodi and then was stolen by Pokémon Hunter J. It proved to have a deep psychic connection with its trainer and was able to hear her through thought.

Trivia

  • Out of the three original stages of Ralts, Gardevoir is the only one that had its name changed when it came to the U.S.
  • The fact that Gardevoir can be male is a frequent topic of discussion among Pokémon forums. Perhaps in response to this, Gallade was created.

Origin

Gardevoir resembles a ballroom dancer. Its exaggerated head with minimal facial expression and an overall frail physique could also be attributed to anesama ningyou, a style of traditional Japanese paper doll.

Name origin

Gardevoir's name may be a combination of garde (French for "guard") and devoir (French for "to be required to"). Its Japanese name may be taken to mean さあ、ナイト saa, naito ("come, night").
