Gallade (エルレイド, Erureido) is a dual Psychic/Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It is the counterpart to Gardevoir, and an evolved form of Kirlia.

Biology

Physiology

Gallade somewhat shares a resemblance to its counterpart Gardevoir, but is different in many ways. The "skirt" of its pre-evolved form is now gone, revealing its legs, which are now much wider. The red horns that were on its head have moved down to its chest, like that of Gardevoir, but are much sharper. Its head is also similar to that of a Gardevoir, but it instead has a large gray-blue horn resembling a gladiator helmet. Another notable feature is the blade-like protrusions from its elbows, which Gallade can use as swords. It seems that the sharp protrusions can be extended and retracted when necessary.

The shiny version of Gallade has a blue coloring where the original has green, and its "helmet" becomes silver instead of light blue. It also has a slightly purple colored hue.

Mega Gallade

As Mega Gallade, its entire body becomes white. Red plates emerge on its arms, the blue head crest is slightly longer, and the spikes on its head are elongated and gain two cape-like protrusions on the back, this giving it a knightly appearance.

Behavior

Gallade are noble Pokémon that protect the weak and are talented at etiquette and "fencing", as well as they can do anything to defeat their enemies. They refuse to attack foes weaker than them unless they have some sort of handicap to make the fights fair. They hold honor in the highest regard and will graciously accept losses as long as they fought courageously.

Most Gallade live on treetops so as to jump down and fight with enemies or alert civilians.

They will fight most valiantly when defending someone they love. Due to their gallantry, Gallade will never slay foes in combat under normal circumstances. Should their honor be sullied, however, they may challenge offenders to duels to the death, going to great lengths to ensure that participants will be on even footing during such matches.

Natural abilities

Gallade can extend their blades as a means to protect someone who is in danger. Like their pre-evolution forms, they can also sense others' thoughts.

When the situation demands it, Mega Gallade can use its psychic power to reshape both arms into blades simultaneously and fight using a dual-wielding style.

Evolution

Gallade evolves from a male Kirlia by the use of a Dawn Stone at any level; not doing so will result in the Kirlia evolving into Gardevoir instead at level 30. Gallade can Mega Evolve with the use of its Mega Stone, Galladite.

Trivia

• Its cry is similar to blades being clashed together.
• The name "Gallade" has actually existed long before the Pokémon's creation; there is a U.S.-based chemical distribution company called "Gallade Chemical", which started business in the 1960s and has no relations with Nintendo or The Pokémon Company International.
• Gallade is the second Psychic/Fighting-type to get a Mega Evolution, the other is Medicham.
  • However, Medicham's typing is reversed, and it is actually a Fighting/Psychic type.
• Gallade is one of the two Fighting-type Pokémon that can learn an actual Fairy-type move, which is Dazzling Gleam. The other is Meloetta in its Pirouette Forme, but only in battle after using Relic Song.
  • However, the other members of the evolutionary line are Fairy-type.
• Gallade is the only Pokémon in the Ralts family whose secondary type is Fighting and not Fairy.
  • In addition, Kirlia is the only Pokémon which loses the Fairy-type upon evolving.
• Gardevoir's Japanese name implies that it was intended to have a masculine appearance. However, western audiences interpreted it as feminine, so Gallade was created as a male-only evolution.

Origin

Gallade is based on a knight or gladiators, specifically the armor worn by those in Greek or medieval periods. The blades on its elbows appear to be based on tonfas, a wooden bar placed on the arm usually used to block weapon hits and to counterstrike. Its position in its artwork and models in the 3D games resembles the en garde pose in fencing.

Etymology

Gallade comes from gallant and blade.

Its Japanese name, Erureido, is a combination of the word Earl (meaning chieftain) and blade.
