'''Gardevoir''' ({{ja|サーナイト|Sānaito}}, ''Sirnight'') is a creature from the {{uv|Pokémon}} series. It appears as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.


'''Gardevoir''' (サーナイト, ''Sānaito'', '''Sirnight''' in Japanese language versions) is a creature in the [[Pokémon (universe)|Pokémon]] media franchise.
==Origin==
{{pkmn|Gardevoir}} is a Psychic type Pokémon introduced in {{s|bulbapedia|Generation III}}, who gained the Fairy type in {{s|bulbapedia|Generation VI}}. It is listed in the Pokédex at #282 as the "Embrace Pokémon". Like most Psychic types, it focuses on Special stats. With the introduction of {{pkmn|Gallade}} in {{s|bulbapedia|Generation IV}}, Gardevoir is one of two final forms of {{pkmn|Ralts}}, and it can Mega Evolve. It is notably the main Pokémon used by {{iw|bulbapedia|Wally}} in the original ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]]'' and ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]]'' and by {{s|bulbapedia|Diantha}} in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon X and Y}}''. Gardevoir and Gallade also have an apparent futuristic relative known as {{pkmn|Iron Valiant}}, a {{iw|bulbapedia|Paradox Pokémon}} that debuted in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Violet}}''.


==Creature description==
{{iw|bulbapedia|Reflect|move}} is a Psychic-type support move: it creates a barrier which protects the ally team, reducing the damage received from physical attacks for five turns. Gardevoir can learn Reflect with {{s|bulbapedia|TM33}} in every game where both are available.
Gardevoir is an adult-sized, humanlike Pokemon with a feminine appearance (though it can be male). Debuting with the 3rd generation of Pokémon, it is the third and final evolution of the Ralts family.


According to Pokédex information, it apparently does not feel the pull of gravity because it supports itself with its psychic powers, and by fully expending its psychokinetic powers it can distort the dimensions and create a small black hole. It can see into the future as well. If owned by a Pokémon trainer, it will be entirely willing to protect its trainer even at the risk of its own life, and if it senses impending danger to that trainer with its power of foresight, it will unleash its psychokinetic energy at full power to create said black hole.
Gardevoir has two different voice clips in ''Brawl'', with one in the Japanese version and another in non-Japanese versions. In ''Smash 4'', Gardevoir got unique German and French voice clips to accompany the ones from ''Brawl''. All of these are used in ''Ultimate''.
{{clrl}}


In the anime, a bounty hunter named J kidnapped a Gardevoir from another trainer named Melodi. Melodi's Gardevoir used Teleport to save Ash and Team Rocket from J's ship. When the fourth generation of Pokémon was introduced, the trainer had the option of evolving a male Kirlia into a more masculine, battle-ready warrior Pokémon called Gallade instead of Gardevoir.

Gardevoir will slowly walk across the stage from end to end for about 15 seconds. Interestingly, it can't reflect [[Hothead]]s, but it can detonate {{SSBB|Snake}}'s [[down smash]].

Gardevoir (サーナイト, Sirnight) is a creature from the Pokémon series. It appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Origin[edit]

Gardevoir is a Psychic type Pokémon introduced in Generation III, who gained the Fairy type in Generation VI. It is listed in the Pokédex at #282 as the "Embrace Pokémon". Like most Psychic types, it focuses on Special stats. With the introduction of Gallade in Generation IV, Gardevoir is one of two final forms of Ralts, and it can Mega Evolve. It is notably the main Pokémon used by Wally in the original Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald and by Diantha in Pokémon X and Y. Gardevoir and Gallade also have an apparent futuristic relative known as Iron Valiant, a Paradox Pokémon that debuted in Pokémon Violet.

Reflect is a Psychic-type support move: it creates a barrier which protects the ally team, reducing the damage received from physical attacks for five turns. Gardevoir can learn Reflect with TM33 in every game where both are available.

Gardevoir has two different voice clips in Brawl, with one in the Japanese version and another in non-Japanese versions. In Smash 4, Gardevoir got unique German and French voice clips to accompany the ones from Brawl. All of these are used in Ultimate.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Gardevoir will slowly walk across the stage from end to end for about 15 seconds. Interestingly, it can't reflect Hotheads, but it can detonate Snake's down smash.
