Gallade was likely created to be a counterpart since a male [[Kirlia]] could evolve into the very feminine [[Gardevoir]], which gave some confusion. However, since a male Kirlia can only be evolved into a Gallade by use of a [[Evolution Stones|Dawn Stone]], a male Kirlia can still evolve into a Gardevoir at level 30.

Gallade (エルレイド Erlade) is a dual-type Psychic/Fighting Pokémon. It is the evolved form of a male Kirlia by the use of a Dawn Stone.

Appearance

Gallade somewhat share a resemblance to their female counterparts Gardevoir but are 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 with Gallade the horns are much sharper. It's head is also similar to that of a Gardevoir, but it instead has a large blue horn resembling a gladiator helmet. Another notable feature is the blade-like protrusions on it's elbows, which Gallade can use as swords.

Special Abilities

Gallade have the ability Steadfast, which allows its speed to increase x1.5 if it has flinched.

The blades on Gallade's arms can be extended to be used as blades, this feature allows this Pokémon to learn a variety of sword-like moves.

In Anime

Gallade has yet to make an appearance in the Anime series, though it did make an appearance in the Pokémon movie The Rise of Darkrai.

In Game

Gallade first appeared in the Generation IV games as the male counterpart of Gardevoir. Gallade was likely created to be a counterpart since a male Kirlia could evolve into the very feminine Gardevoir, which gave some confusion. However, since a male Kirlia can only be evolved into a Gallade by use of a Dawn Stone, a male Kirlia can still evolve into a Gardevoir at level 30.

In Battle

In battle, Gallade have many offensive attacks, as well as a few TM defensive attacks. They are exellent at using combinations like "Close Combat/Bulk Up" and, if they have a low DEF, they can use Protect from a TM to counter this. It can use all "sword" moves as well (Leaf Blade, Night Slash, Psyco Cut)
