The name "Ralts" appears to be derived from "waltz", a type of dance, and possibly runt, as it is a rather small pokémon. Its entire line appears to have similarity to dancers, so this would be logical. A waltz (German: , Italian: , French: , Catalan: ) is a ballroom and folk dance in   time, done primarily in closed position. ...

Biological characteristics

Ralts is an elusive Pokémon; it very rarely appears before humans. When it does, the person's emotions are a key factor in deciding whether it will come closer or run away — if it senses good will and happiness, it will advance, and if it senses hostility, it will run away. Its ability to sense emotions, or empathy, is linked to the horns on its head. Ralts likes to copy the emotions of its trainer — if the trainer is happy, Ralts will be happy, and vice-versa, thus its Synchronize and Trace abilities. Ralts can evolve eventually into great Pokémon, Gardevoir at level 30, a Psychic-type Pokémon, and Gallade, a Psychic and Fighting type when using a Dawn Stone on a male Kirlia. It evolves into Kirlia at level 20. Articles with similar titles include Pity and Sympathy and Compassion. ...

Ralts looks much like a child dressed in pajamas. It has two semi-circular horns jutting out of the front and back of its head. Its lime-green hair is in a bowl-cut, appearing like a helmet. It wears a white dress that actually looks more like a pair of pants. Its eyes are completely covered by its hair, although when Ralts faints in the Pokémon games for the GameCube, it falls backwards, revealing a pair of red melancholy eyes for a few seconds. Its skin is white yet seems to be a part of its dress/pants. Its method of getting around is hopping on its legs or using its psychic abilities to teleport to its desired location.

In the Video Games

Ralts can be caught in the wild in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, however, it is one of the more elusive Pokémon in the games. A trade is required if a Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen or Pokémon Colosseum player wants one. In Pokémon XD, one can be snagged from Cipher Peon Feldas.

In the Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player is asked by his/her father, Norman, to help a young man named Wally catch a Pokémon (this serves as a tutorial for those unfamiliar with the game). Wally enters the grass and is lucky enough to encounter a Ralts, which he easily weakens and catches. He promptly leaves for Verdanturf Town, but meets with the player in Mauville City where he battles with Ralts for the first time. He battles again later near the exit of Victory Road in Ever Grande City, with a full team with Gardevoir being the highest level. Norman is a character in the Pokemon video game series. ...

In Diamond and Pearl, Ralts learns a few new moves, including Magical Leaf (which never misses), Lucky Chant (which prevents your opponent from getting critical hits on you), and Energy Ball, a powerful Grass-type attack learned via TM. The new way of assigning moves as Physical and Special prevents Ralts from using the elemental punches effectively anymore, but the reassigning means that moves like Shadow Ball and Hyper Beam are now viable move options for the Ralts line, being Special Attacks and very effective once evolved into Kirlia.

In the Anime

Ralts and Max in the anime.

Ralts is featured in the episode "Do I Hear A Ralts?", where the protagonists try to take care of an injured Ralts, but have to race against not only Team Rocket, but her mother, Gardevoir, who thinks they're stealing Ralts. Max makes a promise to Ralts that it would be part of his team when he becomes a Trainer. However, it is unclear whether Max ever actually will become a Trainer and set out on his own journey during the course of the anime. Ralts is also the only Pokémon that can both speak telepathically and communicate through saying its name.

In the manga

In Pokémon Adventures, one of Ruby's first three Pokémon was a Ralts named Ruru. He lent Ruru to Wally to help him catch a Pokémon of his own, and due to a natural disaster separating Ruby and Wally, Ruru ended up in Wally's team and was only returned to Ruby much later, having already evolved into a Kirlia by that time.
