Ralts (Japanese: ラルトス Ralts) is a dual-type Psychic/Fairy Pokémon introduced in Generation III. Prior to Generation VI, it was a pure Psychic-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Kirlia starting at level 20, which evolves into Gardevoir starting at level 30 or, if male, Gallade when exposed to a Dawn Stone.
Biology
Ralts's eyes seen from below
Ralts is a humanoid Pokémon with a white body. It has thin arms and legs that widen toward the feet. There is a wispy extension trailing off the back of its feet, creating the overall impression of a nightgown or oversized dress. Most of its face is covered by green hair that resembles a bowl cut, but a pair of pinkish red eyes is sometimes visible. There are two flat, red horns on top of its head: a large one toward the front and a smaller one at the back.
Ralts uses the horns to read people and Pokémon's emotions. Warm feelings cause its body to warm as well, but it hides if it senses hostility. If its Trainer is in a cheerful mood, Ralts also becomes cheerful and joyous. It is known to inhabit urban areas, but it does not normally show itself to humans. However, when it senses happy feelings, it will approach people.

Ruby owned a Ralts nicknamed Rara who first appeared in Creeping Past Cacnea. However, for most of the Ruby & Sapphire arc, Rara is with Wally after Ruby was lost in an earthquake that left him under Mr. Briney's care (where he learned of the beautiful Milotic that Feefee eventually evolved into). While training with Wally under Norman's command, Rara evolves into a Kirlia and is eventually returned to Ruby.

Trivia
- Ralts's number in the Sinnoh Pokédex (Platinum only) and the Almia Browser are the same: 157.
- Ralts's Pokémon Trozei! sprite is the only one where its eyes are visible. In Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, one can see them if one were to view Ralts from below in the Pokédex/Trainer memo; however, it is not a sprite.
- Ralts is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 198.
- This is also the lowest base stat total of all Psychic-type Pokémon.
- Ralts also has the lowest base HP of all Fairy-type Pokémon.
- Despite the fact that Wally catches his Ralts on Route 102 at level 5 in the Hoenn games, it is impossible for the player to catch a level 5 Ralts in the entire game, except through breedingRSE or through the DexNavORAS.
- Ralts's evolutionary family is the only evolutionary family which has more than one Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution.
Origin
Ralts's appearance seems to be based slightly on that of a young child, following the theory that young children can sense feelings easier and more thoroughly than adults. Its red "horns" also resemble the tips of a heart shape.
Name origin
Ralts may be a partial anagram of astral (as in astral body); its other language names seem to follow this. It may also involve relate, referring to the way Ralts will only relate to kind Trainers. It may also be a play on waltz (a type of dance); Ralts' evolutionary family appears to have several similarities to dancers.
