Gallade

() is a dual /-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 his counterpart Gardevoir, but is different in many ways. The "skirt" of his pre-evolved form is now gone, revealing his legs, which are now much wider. The red horns that were on Gallade's head have moved down to its chest, like that of Gardevoir, but are much sharper. His head is also similar to that of a Gardevoir, but his instead has a large gray-blue horn resembling a gladiator helmet. Another notable feature is the blade-like protrusions from his 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 his "helmet" becomes silver instead of light blue. He also has a slightly purple colored hue.
====Mega Gallade====
As Mega Gallade, his entire body becomes white. Red plates emerge on his arms, the blue head crest is slightly longer, and the spikes on his head are elongated and gain two cape-like protrusions on the back, this giving him a knightly position
===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.

In the Platinum chapter, Darach owns a Gallade.
==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 /-type to get a Mega Evolution, the other is Medicham.
**However, Medicham's typing is reversed, and it is actually a /-type Pokémon.
*Gallade is one of the two -type Pokémon that can learn an actual -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 -type Pokémon.
*Gallade is the only Pokémon in the Ralts family whose secondary type is and not .
**In addition, Kirlia is the only Pokémon which loses the -type upon evolving.
*Gallade, as well as the other members of its evolution line, was added to the Human-Like Egg Group in Generation VIII after previously only being in the Amorphous Egg Group.
===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.
