#17: Gallade

Gallade is a curious Pokémon. He evolves from a male Kirlia when using a Dawn Stone on that particular Kirlia, but suddenly becomes a physical-based Pokémon. Ralts and Kirlia are mainly special-based, as is Kirlia's second final evolution Gardevoir. Gallade isn't and focuses mainly on physical-based attacks. And this Pokémon is a good one at that, too! He has a damn high attack stat and special defense stat, plus some nice speed to strike first quite often. His defense is bad and his special attack is as high as Kirlia's, so definitely avoid it. Thankfully, Gallade learns some quite interesting physical-based moves. When you take him to the Move Relearner, he can get the useful moves Night Slash and Leaf Blade, and he also has access to strong moves like Close Combat, Psycho Cut, Zen Headbutt, Earthquake, Return (at a full friendship level), X-Scissor, Rock Slide, Stone Edge and Poison Jab. Enough choice to give your Gallade an excellent movepool. Not to mention Gallade just looks extremely cool for a psychic-type Pokémon. Of course, upon evolving he gains the extra fighting-type, but most psychic-type Pokémon don't look like they have so much militancy. With his blade-like arms resembling tonfas, weapons used to practice Okinawan martial arts like karate and tegumi, he looks ready to agilely slash around and tear the enemy apart. Gallade strongly resembles Gardevoir design-wise: the shape of his head and the pointy ends on his chest and back are also to be found in Gardevoirs design, so you can say Gallade is an excellent physical-based alternative to the special-based Gardevoir!
