'''Rara''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|RURU|ルル}}'''), known as '''Ruru''' in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations, is a {{p|Gardevoir}} that {{adv|Ruby}} owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and one of his [[starter Pokémon]]. Rara was given to Ruby by his father, [[Norman]]. She is level 70, her [[Characteristic]] is "hates to lose", and is used in {{OBP|Smart|condition}} {{pkmn|Contest}}s.

Prior to the start of the series Rara was given to {{adv|Ruby}} as a Ralts as a {{pkmn2|gift}} from his father, [[Norman]]. One day when Ruby was playing with {{adv|Sapphire}} a {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} attacked them and Ruby sent out Rara, [[Nana]], and [[Kiki]] to fend it off. The three managed to scare it away, but Ruby got injured in the process, which scared Sapphire. Because of this incident Ruby decided to never battle in front of people again.

Rara first appeared as a Ralts in ''[[PS181|Creeping Past Cacnea]]'', where she was seen with Ruby on his trip to [[Hoenn]]. She is seen helping the moving van get out of the mud by using {{m|Confusion}}.

In ''[[PS258|Rayquaza Redemption I]]'', Rara is revealed to have [[evolved]] into a {{p|Kirlia}} during the training at [[Sky Pillar]]. With the training complete Norman sends Wally to the top of Sky Pillar to awaken {{adv|Rayquaza}}. Once awakened Rara used {{m|Imprison}} to keep it in place while {{p|Grovyle}} attacked with {{m|Bullet Seed}}.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===

In ''[[PS321|Cunning Kirlia]]'', Rara is used in Ruby's fight at the [[Battle Dome]] against {{adv|Emerald}} and his {{TP|Emerald|Dusclops}}. The battle starts with Rara using {{m|Hypnosis}} to put Dusclops to sleep. He breaks free of the attack and attacks with a barrage of {{m|Shadow Ball}}s. Surprised that Rara is still standing, Emerald has Dusclops use {{m|Fire Punch}}, which gives Rara a burn. Although Emerald thought that would help him win, Rara's [[Ability]] {{a|Synchronize}} activates, giving Dusclops the burn as well. On top of Rara using Imprison to keep Dusclops from using Shadow Ball, both Pokémon faint from the burn, resulting in a tie.

In ''[[PS334|The Final Battle VII]]'', Rara was seen battling [[Guile Hideout]]'s stolen [[Battle Tower]] Pokémon.

==={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}===

In ''[[PAORAS00|Omega Alpha Adventure 0]]'', Sapphire borrowed Rara to train her alongside her own Kirlia, Kirly, with the intent on evolving them into a {{p|Gardevoir}} battle duo. When the two began evolving, Sapphire accidentally unearthed a [[Dawn Stone]] and kicked it towards Kirly. The stone caused Kirly to evolve into a {{p|Gallade}} while Rara evolved into Gardevoir. In ''[[PAORAS09|Omega Alpha Adventure 9]]'', Rara was reunited with Ruby, who was impressed by her new form.

In ''[[PAORAS19|Omega Alpha Adventure 19]]'', Rara was used alongside Kirly on top of Rayquaza to try and battle [[Zinnia]]. Though Rara used {{m|Misty Terrain}} to halve the damage from Zinnia's {{p|Salamence}}'s attack, Rara and Kirly are attacked by a {{p|Noivern}} that was assisting Zinnia. Noivern's {{m|Boomburst}} hits Rara and Kirly, knocking them out in the process.

In ''[[PAORAS20|Omega Alpha Adventure 20]]'', Ruby received a [[Gardevoirite]] from the {{OBP|Elder|Meteor Village}} of the [[Meteor Village]]. When Ruby was attacked by Sapphire due to a misunderstanding, he used Rara to defend himself from Kirly's attacks. When Sapphire had Kirly [[Mega Evolve]] into Mega Gallade, Ruby retaliated by having Rara Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir.

Rara is shown as intelligent and calm. Much like {{adv|Ruby}} she is flashy, loves to show off her looks, and hates getting dirty. Rara is very close to Ruby, shown by her ability to sense his emotions even when he is far away. Despite Ruby's distaste towards battling Rara is a very powerful battler.
