Ralts has a white body. Its legs give it the appearance of wearing a dress. Ralts has a green "helmet" that has a red horn on the front and one on the back. A Ralts's eyes are normally covered by its "helmet", but a view from the proper angle will reveal a pair of melancholy eyes that look similar to the ones its evolved forms and Roserade have. Despite the fact that Ralts and its evolutions resemble humans, they somehow bear a closer relationship to Ghost-type Pokémon than with other humanoid Pokémon such as Mime Jr.

Ralts debuted in Do I Hear a Ralts?. Max found one that was very sick and decided to prove his abilities by taking responsibility for it. With the help of Ash's Snorunt, he rushed it to the nearest Pokémon Center. He later promised to return for Ralts when he is eligible to be a trainer.
A Ralts was living with some party-loving psychic Pokémon in an abandoned mining town in Fear Factor Phoney.
Ralts senses the emotion of people using the horns on its head. This Pokémon rarely appears before people. But when it does, it draws closer if it senses that the person has a positive disposition.
The horn behind Ralts's head in Generation III was once smaller, compared to the Generation IV Ralts's horn that is of equal height to its frontal horn.
Origin
Ralts's appearance seems to be based slightly on that of a young child, following the thought that young children can sense feelings easier and more thoroughly than adults.
Name origin
Ralts's name may be a play on the word waltz, a type of dance; the entire Gardevoir evolutionary family appears to have several similarities to dancers. Its German and French names may be a corruption of an anagram of astral, as in astral body.
