Origins and Trivia
Name origin: Gardevoir’s name is the same in English as in French, where it blends “garde” (guard), “devoir” (duty) and “voir” (to see), a reference to its psychic powers. Its Japanese name, Sirnight, evokes a knight.
Inspiration: It recalls both a ballerina, with its long gown and legs like pointe shoes, and a protective knight: according to the Pokédex, it will do anything to defend its Trainer.
A new type: First a Psychic type, it became Psychic and Fairy in X and Y, when the Fairy type arrived, and received a Mega Evolution at the same time. Kirlia evolves into Gardevoir at level 30, or into Gallade with a Dawn Stone if it is male.
In the anime: Diantha, Kalos League Champion and famous actress, battles with a Gardevoir that can Mega Evolve.
