- Out of the three original stages of Ralts, Gardevoir is the only one that had its name changed when it came to the U.S.
- The fact that Gardevoir can be male is a frequent topic of discussion among Pokémon forums. Perhaps in response to this, Gallade was created.
- Gardevoir has a large fanbase due to its appearance resembling that of a female human.
- Despite its human like appearance, it isn't in the Humanshape egg group. In fact, Gardevoir and Gallade are the most human like Pokémon in the Indeterminate egg group.
- In My Pokémon Ranch, Gardevoir displays the ability of levitation/flight.
Origin
Gardevoir resembles a ballroom dancer. Its exaggerated head with minimal facial expression and an overall frail, featureless physique could also be attributed to anesama ningyou, a style of traditional Japanese paper doll. Considering it's protective nature to it's trainer, it could also be based on a guardian angel.
Name origin
Gardevoir's name may be a combination of garde (French for "guard") and devoir (French for "to be required to"). This is reflected on its Dex data, which explains how Gardevoir will protect its Trainer even at the cost of its own life. Its Japanese name may be taken to mean さあ、ナイト saa, naito ("come, night").
