In Pokemon GO, players are encouraged to get collect 'em all. This means collecting hundreds of Pokemon, figuring out their evolutions, and battling tons of others in the game. While not all players will want to spend the time to collect every single shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO, they may want to make a go at getting as many as possible. One of the harder Pokemon to collect is Gallade.

Getting Started

In order to get a Gallade in Pokemon GO, players will have to catch a previous evolution of Gallade. There are two that can be caught out in the wild; the basic Ralts and Ralts' evolution, Kirlia. However, when Kirlias are caught in the wild, they cannot be evolved, and the Shadow versions of Kirlias can't be evolved into Gallade, either. So players will need to aim for basic or shiny Ralts to get their Gallade. If players missed Ralts Community Day back in 2019, they'll have to search one out in the game for themselves.

Catching the Perfect Ralts

Ralts is a Psychic/Fairy-type Pokemon native to the Hoenn region. Players can catch this green and white Pokemon in the wild, hatch them from eggs, get them through research, or even earn them in raids. Players can catch either basic or shiny versions to evolve, but the most important thing is that the Ralts has to be is male. Only male Ralts can become Gallade; the female Ralts will become Pokemon GO's Gardevoir.

How to evolve a Gallade in Pokemon GO

Once Pokemon GO players have a proper male Ralts with good stats, they can move on to the next part of the process: evolutions.

The Evolution Process

Ralts will evolve first into Kirlia when given 50 candy. Kirlia can then be evolved into either Gallade or Gardevoir; in order to make a Gardevoir, players will just have to give their Ralts 100 Candy. But making a male Ralts into a Gallade requires one extra thing on top of the 100 candy; players will also need a rare Sinnoh Stone to make it happen.

Sinnoh Stones are dropped from 7 consecutive days of Research, from PVP battles, and from battling against three team leaders on any Pokemon GO Community Days. There are a total of about 18 Pokemon that evolve with Sinnoh Stones, and they are pretty rare and hard to get. but once players have one, they can use it on their male Kirlia and get that rare Gallade for themselves.

Pokemon GO is available for most mobile devices.
