Ralts is one of the most beloved Psychic and Fairy-type Pokemon in Pokemon GO. Known for its split evolution, it can become either Gallade or Gardevoir, two powerful options for both PvE and PvP battles. But evolving Ralts isn’t as straightforward as it seems. Here’s everything you need to know to evolve Ralts correctly and make the most out of its potential!

Ralts is a Psychic/Fairy-type Pokemon first introduced in Generation III. In Pokemon GO, it’s considered moderately rare in the wild, often appearing during special events, Community Days, or as part of Field Research tasks. Because of its split evolution and strong final forms, Ralts remains highly sought-after by both casual and competitive players.

Ralts evolution in Pokemon GO is unique because it branches into two different Pokemon—Gardevoir or Gallade—based on gender and items:

1 Evolve Ralts to Kirlia

Spend 25 Ralts Candy.

2 Evolve Kirlia to Gardevoir

Spend 100 Ralts Candy. Gardevoir is available to both male and female Kirlia.

3 Evolve Kirlia to Gallade

Spend 100 Ralts Candy and use a Sinnoh Stone. Important: Only male Kirlia can evolve into Gallade.

Note

Players often overlook the gender requirement, so always check your Kirlia before trying to evolve it into Gallade!

When deciding whether to evolve your Kirlia into Gardevoir or Gallade, it helps to understand their unique strengths, typings, and ideal battle roles.

1Gardevoir

Type: Psychic/Fairy

Role: Gardevoir is one of the best Fairy-type attackers in Pokemon GO. Its Fairy typing gives it strong advantages against Fighting, Dragon, and Dark-type Pokemon, which makes it especially valuable in raids against bosses like Dragonite, Salamence, and Giratina.

Best Uses: Gardevoir is popular for PvE (gyms and raids) thanks to its high Attack stat and access to strong moves like Charm and Dazzling Gleam. It can also be used in PvP but is more niche compared to Gallade.

Defensive Use: Gardevoir is often placed in gyms to defend because its Fairy-type moves hit hard against common Fighting-type attackers like Machamp and Lucario.

2Gallade

Type: Psychic/Fighting

Role: Gallade’s dual Psychic/Fighting typing makes it more versatile in PvP. It can learn powerful Fighting-type moves like Close Combat and Leaf Blade, giving it great coverage against Steel, Ice, and Dark types.

Best Uses: Gallade shines in Great League and Ultra League where its moveset and unique typing allow it to counter threats like Registeel, Obstagoon, and Swampert. It’s less used for raids than Gardevoir because there are stronger Fighting-type raid attackers like Machamp or Lucario.

Defensive Use: Gallade is less commonly used in gyms because its Defense stat is lower than Gardevoir’s and it doesn’t benefit from a strong Fairy-type fast move for gym defense.

Which One Should You Pick?

If you mainly want a powerful Fairy-type attacker for raids and gym defense, Gardevoir is usually the better choice. If you focus on PvP battles—especially Ultra League or Great League—then Gallade’s versatile moveset and unique typing make it a great addition to your lineup. Many trainers evolve multiple Ralts so they can have both, ensuring they’re covered for different scenarios.

Using Elite TMs can help you unlock legacy moves like Synchronoise for Gardevoir.

Shiny Ralts debuted during its Community Day in 2019. Outside of special events, the shiny rate is the standard 1/512, but during Community Days or GO Fest it can increase to around 1/24. Shiny Kirlia, Gardevoir, and Gallade all retain the shiny form once evolved, so don’t forget to check!
