Read more ↓Gallade is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon primarily known for its elegant and formidable fighting style. It is a Psychic/Fighting type, introduced in Generation IV, and evolves from a male Kirlia when exposed to a Dawn Stone. Its evolution line begins with Ralts, which evolves into Kirlia, and then branches into either Gardevoir (for both male and female Kirlia) or Gallade (for male Kirlia only). Gallade is celebrated for its strong sense of justice and its ability to predict opponents' moves, making it a formidable protector. Its elbows are said to be razor-sharp, resembling swords, which it uses with precision and agility in battle. Gallade's natural habitat often includes forests and mountainous regions, where it can train in solitude and protect those it cares for. In the games, Gallade is a powerful physical attacker, often sought after for its unique type combination and access to strong STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) moves. In the anime, it has been depicted as a noble warrior, showcasing its protective instincts and combat prowess. Its design, reminiscent of a knight or a master swordsman, contributes to its cultural significance as a symbol of chivalry and martial artistry within the Pokémon world.
