===Origin===
===Origin===
Gardevoir seems to be based on a feminine {{wp|principal dancer|principal}} {{wp|ballet dancer}} as well as the concept of {{wp|empathy}}. 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 is 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|heart}} 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 heart.

Gardevoir's {{t|Fairy}} type and protective nature over its {{pkmn|Trainer}} seem to be inspired by {{wp|guardian angel}}s, and its flowing, white 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 type of {{wp|Japanese dolls|Japanese paper doll}}.
