Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon. It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kirlia}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is one of {{p|Ralts}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Gallade}}. Gardevoir can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gardevoir''' using the [[Gardevoirite]]. It, along with {{p|Gallade}}, appears to be distantly related to the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Valiant}}. ==Biology== Gardevoir is a bipedal, {{wp|bishōjo}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose body resembles a flowing gown. Most of its body is white, but its hair, arms, and the underside of its gown are green. Its hair curls over its face and down the sides of its head. Behind its red eyes are short spikes, resembling a masquerade mask. It has long arms with three fingers on each hand and slender white legs. A red, fin-like horn extends from its chest, and a shorter, more rounded horn extends from the back. A band of green on its chest extends to the center of the front horn and connects to its sleeve-like arms. Gardevoir is able to see the future using its psychic powers. Its telekinetic powers enable it to lift objects and support itself without feeling the pull of gravity. Additionally, it is able to create small black holes and distort dimensions. Gardevoir's power reaches its peak when protecting its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, whom it will protect with its life. This Pokémon typically inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}, but has occasionally been sighted in snowy regions. In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Teleport}} is its [[signature move]]. As Mega Gardevoir, it turns almost completely white; only its hair remains green. Its gown becomes longer and wider, resembling a bridal gown. The forearms are slightly thicker with a pointed extension above the elbow, resembling gloves. Its facial spikes are larger and now curl upwards. In contrast, its hair is now shorter and more tightly curled. There are now two horns in the center of its chest, extending to either side. These horns are said to be a physical manifestation of this Pokémon's heart, and it is able to use tremendous psychic power now that it is open.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Gardevoir</ref> {{p|Iron Valiant}} bares a resemblance to Mega Gardevoir. ==In the anime== ===Main series=== [[File:Diantha Gardevoir.png|thumb|left|250px|Gardevoir in the {{pkmn|anime}}]] [[File:Kimia Gardevoir.png|thumb|250px|Shiny Gardevoir in the anime]] [[File:Diantha Mega Gardevoir.png|thumb|250px|left|Mega Gardevoir in the anime]] [[File:Kimia Mega Gardevoir.png|thumb|250px|Shiny Mega Gardevoir in the anime]] ====Major appearances==== =====[[Diantha's Gardevoir]]===== [[Diantha]] owns a Gardevoir, which debuted in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''.

However, Gardevoir and Kirlia thought Max was also trying to steal Ralts. When Ralts blocked Gardevoir and Kirlia's {{m|Psychic}}, the two Pokémon calmed down and left. Later, Gardevoir and Kirlia sent [[James]] blasting off, as Ralts had already launched [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} away for posing as Gardevoir and Kirlia, respectively. In ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]'', [[J]] stole [[Melodi]]'s Gardevoir. It proved to have a deep {{t|psychic}} connection with its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and was able to hear her thoughts.

In ''[[JN019|A Talent for Imitation!]]'', a Gardevoir was the costar of a {{p|Ditto}} in a movie directed by [[Kublock]], about Gardevoir twins. ====Pokédex entries==== {{Animedexheader|Unova}} {{Animedexbody|BW118|Gardevoir|Ash's Pokédex|Gardevoir, the Embrace Pokémon.

Brawl]]=== When summoned from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, it will go across the stage using {{m|Reflect}} to protect the summoner (and teammates) from any projectile attacks. ====Trophy information==== ''"An Embrace Pokémon. Despite its elegant and feminine features, there can be male and female Gardevoir. A Psychic-type, it has the ability to see the future and levitate. It's a brave Pokémon who will risk its own life to protect its trainer. It uses the ability Synchronize to pass on status problems like paralysis, poison, and burns to the foe."'' ===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]=== [[File:Gardevoir_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Gardevoir trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']] Gardevoir reappears as a Poké Ball summon in both versions of the fourth iteration of the series. Once again, it uses Reflect to bounce off projectiles. Gardevoir also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game. ====Trophy information==== '''NA''': ''Gardevoir is a Psychic/Fairy-type Pokémon, bearing an elegant appearance that male and female Gardevoir share. In Smash Bros., it uses Reflect to turn back projectiles and items launched toward it. Helpfully, it won't affect any of the shots from the player who summoned it. Take advantage of this!'' '''PAL''': ''This Psychic- and Fairy-type may look like a woman in a long dress, but there are both male and female Gardevoir out there! If you get one in battle, it'll use Reflect, creating a barrier that stops projectiles from hitting you and your allies. It won't block any of your shots, though, so feel free to fire all the projectiles you like! '' [[File:Pokkén Gardevoir.png|220px|thumb|Gardevoir in Pokkén Tournament]] ===[[Super Smash Bros.

Upon entering Burst form, it Mega-Evolves and can use the Burst Attack Fairy Tempest. {{-}} ==Game data== ===NPC appearances=== {{spoilers}} * {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}: Gardevoir is the spirit of a Pokémon who sacrificed herself for her {{p|Gengar|trainer}}. She comes to the player in their dreams, explaining things and generally appearing after important periods in the game.

Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]] point out the fact that Gardevoir can be both [[gender]]s, despite sporting a feminine-looking design. This is never brought up in any other Pokémon-related media. ===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}} 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}}. [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gardevoir appears to be based on a {{wp|ballroom dance}}r wearing a large {{wp|ball gown}} and {{wp|evening glove}}s. ====Name origin==== Gardevoir may be a combination of the French words ''garde'' (guard) or ''garder'' (to guard) and ''devoir'' (duty), as well as ''voir'' (to see; referring to its Psychic powers). Sirnight may be a combination of ''{{wp|sir}}'' (an honorific for male knights), ''{{wp|knight}}'', and possibly a pun of さあ、ナイト ''saa, naito'' ("Come here, Knight"). ==In other languages== {{Other languages|type=Psychic|type2=Fairy |ja=サーナイト ''Sirnight''|jameaning=From ''sir'', ''knight'', and possibly {{tt|さあ、ナイト ''saa, naito''|Come, knight}} |fr=Gardevoir|frmeaning=Same as English name |es=Gardevoir|esmeaning=Same as English name |de=Guardevoir|demeaning=Similar to English name |it=Gardevoir|itmeaning=Same as English name |ko=가디안 ''Gadian''|komeaning=From ''guardian'' |zh_cmn=沙奈朵 ''Shānàiduǒ''|zh_cmnmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |zh_yue=沙奈朵 ''Sānoihdó''|zh_yuemeaning=Transcription of Japanese name |hi=गार्डेभोईर ''Gardevoir''|himeaning=Transcription of English name |ru=Гардевуар ''Gardevuar''|rumeaning=Transcription of English name |th=เซอไนท์ ''Soenai''|thmeaning=Transcription of Japanese name }} <br clear="left"> ==Related articles== * [[Rara]] * [[Diantha's Gardevoir]] * [[Gardevoir (Pokkén)]] * [[Gardevoir (Red and Blue Rescue Team)]] * [[Team Charm]] * [[Mega Evolution]] ==References== <references /> ==External links== {{-}} {{Smash Bros.}} {{PokémonPrevNext/Head|type=Psychic|type2=Fairy}} {{PokémonPrevNext/Pokémon|type=Psychic|prevnum=0281|prev=Kirlia|nextnum=0283|next=Surskit}} |} {{Project Pokédex notice}} [[Category:Single-type Pokémon|282]]<!--Prior to Gen VI--> [[Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed]] [[Category:Super Smash Bros. trophies]] [[de:Guardevoir]] [[es:Gardevoir]] [[fr:Gardevoir]] [[it:Gardevoir]] [[ja:サーナイト]] [[zh:沙奈朵]]
