The long, white frills surrounding its body resemble a floor-length dress, and its thin, pointed legs make it appear as if it is standing {{wp|Pointe technique|en pointe}} and wearing white {{wp|tights}}. Its hair appears to be styled into a {{wp|bob cut}}, and the short spikes behind its eyes resemble a {{wp|Masquerade ball|masquerade}} mask. Its red horns resemble half of a {{wp|heart symbol}} and seem to pierce its chest, implying that its ability to sense emotions is even stronger than its pre-evolved forms since the horns are connected directly to its actual heart. | ||
Gardevoir's protective nature over its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{t|Fairy}} type suggest it is also inspired by {{wp|guardian angel}}s, and its white, flowing body is reminiscent of {{wp|ghost}}s or {{wp|spirit}}s such as a {{wp|White Lady}}. Its large head, minimal facial features, and frail physique are similar to ''anesama ningyō'', a style of traditional {{wp|Japanese doll|Japanese paper doll}}. | |||
