() is a / Pokémon introduced in Generation III. Previously a pure type prior to Generation VI, it is one of the two final evolved forms of Ralts, with the other being Gallade.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gardevoir is a humanoid sylph-like, Pokémon. It stands just over five feet tall. The classical tutu-type skirt seen with Kirlia is now a long, flowing white gown that completely covers its legs, giving the appearance that it is floating. Gardevoir have long, slender, white legs underneath their gown. The inside of its gown is green in color. The red horns that were once on Kirlia and Ralts' head have moved down onto Gardevoir's chest and back. Most of its face is obscured by its green 'hair', with only some white, and its large pink eyes visible. It also has long, slender arms that are green like its hair.
Upon Mega Evolution, it turns almost completely white; only its hair remains green. Its gown becomes longer and wider, resembling a bridal gown. The forearms are slightly thicker with a pointed extension above the elbow resembling sleeves. Its facial spikes are larger and now curl upwards. In contrast, its hair is now shorter and more tightly curled. There are now two horns in the center of its chest, extending to either side.
The shiny version of Gardevoir has light blue "hair" and arms as opposed to light green, and its "horns" and eyes are orange instead of pink. When a Shiny Gardevoir undergoes Mega Evolution, its dress and sleeves turn black rather than white.
===Behavior===
Gardevoir is famous for its loyalty; it will even sacrifice itself for its Trainer's sake. In the wild, Gardevoir live in groups and care for their young lovingly. Gardevoir are very wary of trusting strangers, but will develop the same loyalty they show to their trainers to those who show similar compassion and optimism.
===Natural abilities===
Gardevoir are able to sense the feelings and emotions of Pokémon and people. One of its main abilities, though, is a kind of precognition, which allows it to sense the future. Additionally, it is able to create small black holes, distort dimensions, and support itself without feeling the pull of gravity. Gardevoir are said to protect their trusted Trainers at all costs, even sacrificing their own lives to keep their Trainers safe.
Mega Gardevoir's horns are said to be a physical manifestation of the Pokémon's heart, and it is able to use tremendous psychic power and pure fairy power now that it is open.
==Evolution==
Gardevoir evolves from Kirlia upon reaching level 30. Gardevoir is one of two evolutionary forms of Kirlia. Gardevoir can then Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir, the Mega Evolution form.
