On name origins, what about from the French "Garder" -- to keep, and "voir" -- to see?<br>     
--Slim {{unsigned|Slim}}
:It certainly sounds French in the anime dub. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 11:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
:It could also be a play on the Valkyrie Geiravör (spear+vigilant) --[[User:Deuxhero|Deuxhero]] 18:07, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Could someone please help me! What does it mean when it says "and the red fins it had as Ralts/Kirlia are now gone." Does it mean the red things? On there head? But, Gardevoir still has them! I'm confused.{{unsigned|Gardevoir}}
:I assume it means those on the head... Sure, Gardevoir's and Gallade's are on their chests now... but Ralts and Kirlia have them on their heads, which is the point. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[wp:Echidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">E</span><span style="color:#0000FF;">chidna</span>]]''' 23:16, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I still don't get why they call them "Fins". I don't think there fins. ~Gardevoir {{unsigned|Gardevoir}}

:More "fin-like" then "fins", to be exact. I think I was one who referred to them as Fins... if you can think of a more accurate word for it (maybe "fin-like ridges"?), then by all means, replace it. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>'''</font>]] 02:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

::I'll probably do that. Thank you for you're help. {{unsigned|Gardevoir}}

Yes, theres a much better understanding of what it means now. --Gardevoir {{unsigned|Gardevoir}}

was gardevoir ever speculated as a counterpart to Alakazam ?? {{unsigned|Palkie}}
:Not... really. Sure, it's kind of a Hoenn counterpart, but Alakazam's there anyway.

== Gardevoir's attacking pose ==

There's something I've noticed about Gardevoir in Pokémon Colosseum/XD/Battle Revolution for quite a while.  Whenever Gardevoir attacks, it looks to me as if Gardevoir's holding its arms in a cross formation.  It's as if Gardevoir summon power from God to strike their foes or something.  Can I make a note of that in the Trivia section?--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 05:01, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
:Mmmmmh... I'm thinking... that's too fanony. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[wp:Echidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">E</span><span style="color:#0000FF;">chidna</span>]]''' 05:12, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
::It looks more like some sort of unusual dance move to me. That might actually make more sense, since nearly all of Kirlia's animations (even its KO'd animation!) look like dance movements (which makes it hard for me to understand why Miror. B never uses one....). [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 18:02, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

== Gardevoir - Hypnosis ==

I noticed that my Gardevoir in Gen IV learned Hypnosis at 60, not 63 like the page says. Was that a typo? Or did I do something to learn moves faster..? ~Desu {{unsigned|DesuMaiWaifu}}
:Nope. It was apparently wrong. Fixing. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:46, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
::Cool, glad I could help. ~Desu {{unsigned|DesuMaiWaifu}}

== Gender ratio ==
This might be a silly question, but since I created a new account for this soul purpose, I'll ask it anyway: Given the fact that this Pokemon can only evolve from female Kirilia, shouldn't its gender ratio be 100% female? [[User:WellyDawn|WellyDawn]] 23:07, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
:Actually, male Kirlia can evolve into Gardevoir too. It's just that female Kirlia can only evolve into Gardevoir. &mdash;'''<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="color:#000">darklord</span>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 23:08, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Even i am a fan of her(i always treat them as female),i know theyre 50/50 gender.See [[Snorunt]]'s evolutions,theyre just reversed.  --[[User:Gillstar34|Gillstar34]] 09:38, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

==Generation V Event Move?==
I was looking at the moves Gardevoir can learn and noticed Hypnosis was in the Event Moves section for Gardevoir even though it learns it naturally. Aside from gaining the move 15 levels early, I don't understand why it is an event move in this case.

==Type==
Someone change its type to Psychic/Fairy. <span style="color:#3F0042"><span style="text-shadow:#000 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">'''★~Darklight~★'''</span></span> 15:17, 11 June 2013 (UTC) 15:15, 11 June 2013 (UTC) 15:15, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

:Guys and girls, we are updating pages as we can, this has just been announced. We aren't super computers, and no, we won't unprotect the pages for user help currently as not all the supporting templates have not been updated to allow them to display correctly as of yet. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 15:42, 11 June 2013 (UTC)


It says prior to Generation IV (4) it was a pure Psychic type. This error is also on Marill and Jigglypuff pages. It should be VI (6) [[User:Zond|Zond]] ([[User talk:Zond|talk]]) 16:09, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

== Notable? ==

[[http://tcrf.net/Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl#Removed_Assist_Trophies |In the demo]] of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Gardevoir was an assist trophy instead of a Pokémon coming from a Poké Ball. Would this be worth noting in the Super Smash Bros. Brawl segment of the article?

== Just a thought ==

Maybe we can add spill casters to there possible inspiration? They seam to were robes or gowns, they are the types that analog magic, and they have stats like a spill caster[[User:Random Chaos|Random Chaos]] ([[User talk:Random Chaos|talk]]) 00:17, 4 July 2013 (UTC)♥
:You mean a ''spell''caster? I suppose that's sort of plausible, though equating Special Attack with magic is a bit assumptive and might get reverted as speculation/fanon. Please work on your spelling and grammar, though. You're barely comprehensible. (I still can't figure out what you mean by "{{wp|analog}} magic".)

== Unnecessary Trivia ==

''Despite its human-like appearance, it isn't in the {{egg|Human-Like}} Egg Group.''

Could this trivia point be removed? I don't have editing permission so I can't remove it myself. This piece of trivia seems dangerously close to the "Despite its Pokédex entries mentioning this Pokémon has... (ability), it cannot learn (move)/have (ability)." trivia which isn't allowed on pages, also several Pokémon are human-like yet aren't in the Human-Like group (such as {{p|Gallade}}, {{p|Mawile}} etc.) so this trivia piece is irrelevant. --[[User:Relicant|<span style="color:#785C3E;">'''Reli'''</span><span style="color:#FF3300;">★</span><span style="color:#C2A385;">'''ジーランス'''</span>]]'''?''' 09:55, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

I dissagre, it should be put back because it is good triva. For gallade, you can put the same thing and mawile is not that much human-like. can someone back me up. FOR GARDEVOIR. [[User:HoennRemake|HoennRemake]] ([[User talk:HoennRemake|talk]]) 17:52, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

== Type Matchup Chart ==

Should Gardevoir have 2 Type effectiveness charts: One for Gen VI and one prior to Gen VI?
