GALLADE
Gallade, classified as the Blade Pokémon, is a dual Psychic and Fighting type introduced in Generation IV. Gallade is one of the final evolution forms of Ralts. Ralts evolves into Kirlia before evolving into either Gardevoir or Gallade. A Kirlia evolves into Gallade if the Kirlia is male and exposed to a Dawn Stone. Gallade's Attack and Special Attack are the reverse of Gardevoir's, too. Gallade is a bipedal Pokémon resembling a gladiator or a medieval knight. According to its Pokédex entry, Gallade is known to be a master of courtesy and swordsmanship. While protecting someone, Gallade will extend its elbows as swords while fighting. Gallade is also capable of sensing what its opponent is thinking, allowing Gallade to attack first with fierce and fast attacks. As for Pokémon battles, Gallade is very reliable thanks to its powerful Attack stat which can even be boosted with the accessibility to Swords Dance. If used correctly, Gallade can be a potential sweeper on a trainer's team thanks to its very high Attack stat and good Speed stat. In addition, Gallade is capable of Mega Evolution, increasing its power even more. Mega Gallade happens to have the highest Attack stat of all non-legendary Psychic Pokémon. Another cool fact is Gallade and Gardevoir are currently the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution from the same evolution line. I had a Gallade on one of my previous Pokémon teams, and he was dependable in battle. It's a shame to see Gallade go, but at least Gardevoir is still in the rankdown. Anyway, Gallade is a pretty cool Pokémon, but out it goes from the rankdown.
