History
Gallade is the Blade Pokémon, a Psychic/Fighting-type that evolves from a male Kirlia when exposed to a Dawn Stone, serving as the masculine counterpart to Gardevoir. It is depicted as a courteous and chivalrous warrior who extends sharp blades from its elbows and fights to protect others, using both its psychic powers and refined, self-taught swordsmanship. Knightly, dignified, and fiercely loyal, it embodies the ideal of a noble protector in the Pokémon world.
Name & meaning
The Japanese name エルレイド (Erureido) is most commonly understood as combining a sound suggestive of 'élite' or chivalric nobility with 'blade,' fitting its knight-like nature; the '-reido' portion clearly evokes the English word 'blade.' The English name 'Gallade' blends 'gallant' (brave, chivalrous, knightly) with 'blade,' referencing the sword-like extensions on its arms. Both names emphasize a heroic swordsman theme.
