Pokémon ORAS – Mega Gallade

The white knight.

☆ NintendObs Weekly – Monday, September 8, 2014 – Sunday, September 14, 2014.

Mega Gallade / Méga-Gallame

Plates emerge on Gallade’s arms, and the helmet and cape-like protrusions on its head and back give it a knightly appearance. When the situation demands, Mega Gallade can use its psychic power to reshape both arms into blades simultaneously, and fight using a dual-wielding style.

When it Mega Evolves, its Ability changes to Inner Focus, so it’s protected from flinching. Its Attack and Speed stats improve, making this a Pokémon likely to excel at first-strike strategies.

Ralts / Tarsal

When its red horns capture the warm feelings of people or Pokémon, its body warms up slightly. Ralts draws closer if it senses someone with a positive disposition.

Kirlia

A Kirlia that is exposed to the positive emotions of its Trainer grows beautiful. This Pokémon has the psychic power to create a rip in the surrounding dimension and see into the future.

Gardevoir

If you let any Kirlia evolve to Lv. 30 without giving it a Dawn Stone, it will evolve into Gardevoir, regardless of its gender. Gardevoir has the power to predict the future, and it will guard its Trainer with its life. It can expend its psychic power to warp dimensions and create a small black hole.

Gallade / Gallame

If you use a Dawn Stone on a male Kirlia, it will evolve into Gallade. A master of courtesy and swordsmanship, Gallade fights using extending swords on its elbows. It has the power to sense what its foe is thinking.
