An item used to evolve a male Kirlia and a female Snorunt.
Location(s)
• Porto Marinada Auction
• Pokedex Progress Reward
• Sparkling Dropped Item

Kirlia can evolve into Gallade by using a Dawn Stone on a male Kirlia before it reaches Lv. 30 and evolves. If you want a Gardevoir instead, just level up Kirlia to Lv. 30 and it will evolve into Gardevoir automatically, regardless of the Kirlia's gender.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Muscle Band ImageMuscle Band
Moveset ・Psycho Cut
・Agility
・Close Combat
・Swords Dance

Gallade already has a high base Attack stat and decent Speed, so it's good to capitalize on that with an Adamant Nature and Muscle Band that'll boost its Attack stat further. Sharpness will also boost its Psycho Cut move on top of all these buffs.

Meanwhile, Close Combat is a powerful fallback move. But remember that the move also lowers Gallade's Defense and Special Defense, so make sure your opponent will go down in one hit before using it.

Tera Types Explained

Gallade Best Nature

Nature & Stat Changes Explanation
Adamant
↑ Atk, ↓ SpAtk
Psychic Slasher
Giving Gallade an Adamant Nature will give a good boost to its Attack stat, which will be further augmented by its Sharpness Ability and Muscle Band. Use Psycho Cut as its main attack, and keep Close Combat in reserve for extra firepower. Use Swords Dance whenever possible, and Agility when you think the enemy is much faster than you.
Jolly
↑ Speed, ↓ SpAtk
Speedy Sweeper
If you don't want extra setup and be fast from the start, giving Gallade a Jolly nature will give it a boost in Speed. It will do good damage since Gallade's Attack stat is high already, though it won't hurt to use Swords Dance now and then to give your attacks extra power.
