Gallade is a Psychic/Fighting-type Pokémon that evolves exclusively from male Kirlia. Known as the Blade Pokémon, it is a master of courtesy and swordsmanship, capable of predicting its foe's moves to strike preemptively. Gallade is fiercely protective of its Trainer, using the sharp blades on its elbows to defend. It keenly senses people in need of help during battle and fights savagely with fast, fierce attacks. In its Mega form, it reshapes both arms into blades for dual-wielding combat, drawing strength from its bond with the Trainer.
