It evolves from a male Kirlia when exposed to a Dawn Stone, making it one of the final evolutionary forms of Ralts, alongside Gardevoir. Gallade is also capable of Mega Evolution, transforming into Mega Gallade when holding the Galladite.

This Pokémon, along with its counterpart Gardevoir, represents a branching evolutionary line from Ralts, offering a choice between a Psychic/Fairy-type and a Psychic/Fighting-type. The concept of Gallade was first introduced in the Sinnoh region, where it was recognized for its distinctive combat abilities and honorable demeanor.
Gallade plays a significant role in the Pokémon world, often seen as a guardian due to its chivalrous nature and protective instincts. It is known for its mastery in swordsmanship and its ability to predict its opponent's moves, which it uses to defend its Trainer and allies. Gallade is featured prominently in various Pokémon media, including games, anime, and manga, where it is portrayed as a loyal and formidable partner in battles.
