About[]
Gardevoir (サーナイト, known as Sirnight in Japanese) is a third-generation Pokémon character originally introduced as a Psychic type creature in Pokémon Ruby / Sapphire and re-introduced as a Psychic / Fairy dual type with a mega evolution in Pokémon X / Y. Due to Gardevoir's conspicuous resemblance to a female humanoid, the character has gained an unusually large fan base online, mostly on 4chan's /vp/ (Pokémon), /v/ (Video Games) and /b/ (Random) boards.
Origin[]
Gardevoir, whose name is derived from a combination of the French words Garde ('guard') and voir ('see'), made its debut appearance as the 282nd official character in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire versions of Nintendo's video game series, which were released in Japan on November 21st, 2002 and elsewhere overseas between March and July 2003.
The Character[]
According to the canonical profile, Gardevoir is one of Ralt's final two forms of evolution, the other being Gallade, that can be manifested after evolving into its second-level form Kirlia, and it is most notable for its ability to read the future and a heightened sense of concern for and loyalty towards its Pokémon trainer. In Pokemon X and Y, they introduced to mega evolutions for certain Pokemon that can gain a powerful final form of themselves in battle. Gardevoir is one of the certain Pokemon who can mega evolve to a Mega Gardevoir.
Upon detecting danger to the trainer, Gardevoir can unleash its psychic energy to protect him or her by distorting dimensions and creating a small black hole, and sometimes, even at the expense of its own life. While the Pokémon appears in the games as both male and female at a 1:1 spawning ratio, the character is often presumed to be of female gender due to its outer appearance.
