Gallade (Japanese: エルレイド Erureido) is a dual-type Psychic/Fighting Pokémon.
He evolves from a male Kirlia when exposed to a Dawn Stone. He is one of Ralts's final forms, the other being Gardevoir.
Biology
Physiology
Gallade have a white lower body that consists of bold rounded hips with strong legs. His torso is thin and colored in a balance between the green of his upper body, and the white of his lower body. Sharp red hornlike protrusions stick out of the chest and back, similar to Gardevoir. Gallade's arms are shaped like tonfas, with extendable blades in the elbows. His head resembles a gladiator's helmet, with a white face and a light-teal colored head crest. Like his counterpart Gardevoir, Gallade has spikes on the sides of his face.
Gender differences
Gallade is a male-only species. Some consider Gardevoir to be the female counterpart although Gardevoir can be of either gender.
Special abilities
Thanks to Gallade's arm blades, which can be withdrawn and extended to two lengths, he can learn a variety of sword-like attacks in several types. These include Leaf Blade, Night Slash, and the rarely known Psycho Cut. He is one of two non-Grass-type Pokémon that can learn Leaf Blade. As with other Fighting-type Pokémon, Gallade can summon Earthquakes, and launch rocks at his opponents (in the forms of Stone Edge, Rock Slide or Rock Tomb). He can also learn punching attacks like the elemental punches, and the rare Drain Punch. He has one of the greatest varieties of moves. Since Gallade is a fully-evolved Pokémon, he can learn Hyper Beam or Giga Impact.
Behavior
Gallade are masters of courtesy and swordsmanship, defending the weak from harm. They attack in fierce onslaughts against their foes.
Habitat
Gallade hide up in very tall trees, watching for trouble. When the time is right, they leap from their homes to forewarn civilians or fight enemies.

Trivia
- Gallade's Attack and Special Attack are the reverse of Gardevoir's.
- Gallade's number in the Sinnoh Pokédex (Platinum only) and the Almia Browser are the same: 160.
- Gallade is tied with Scrafty for the highest Special Defense base stat of all non-legendary Fighting-type Pokémon.
Origin
The single fin on Gallade's head resembles the helmet worn by Murmillo-class Roman gladiators or the Corinthian helmet (with a horsehair crest) that was worn by Greek hoplites. He may also be based on medieval knights. Additionally, his battle stances (depicted in-game and in artwork) resemble the en garde position and parries of modern fencing.
Name origin
Gallade may be a combination of gallant and blade. It may also involve Sir Galahad, a knight of Arthurian legend.
Erureido may be a combination of Earl (in antiquity, a chieftain or military leader; in present day, a rank in the British nobility) or elbow and blade, referring to the sword-like appendages on its arms. It may also derive from ballad (a type of French poetry), in accordance with the musical origin of Ralts and the French Gardevoir.
