Pokmon Legends: Arceus - How To Evolve Kirlia Into Gallade Or Gardevoir -

Kirlia is a Psychic and Fairy-Type Emotion Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus that can evolve into Gallade or Gardevoir once certain conditions have been met. Trainers can find wild Kirlia in the Shrouded Ruins of the Crimson Mirelands or near the Snowpoint Temple and Heart’s Crag of the Alabaster Icelands. However, it is much more likely that players will instead encounter Ralts, Kirlia’s starting evolution form in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

To evolve Ralts into Kirlia, Trainer must have the Dual-type Pokémon attain Level 20, and once Kirlia reaches Level 30, it will evolve into Gardevoir. Leveling Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is relatively straightforward, requiring players to use their Pokémon in activities such as battling and gathering. However, those who wish to speed up the leveling process can feed their Kirlia Exp. Candy variants or Rare Candy. Exp. Candy will increase a Pokémon’s experience pool by a certain amount, depending on if the Candy was S, M, L, or XL. Rare Candy is harder to come by but can instantly level up a Pokémon, regardless of its XP percentage.

On the other hand, the evolution requirements for Gallade are slightly more complex. To evolve Kirlia into Gallade, Trainers will first need a Dawn Stone in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The Dawn Stone is a rare evolution item used for evolving Kirlia into Gallade and Glalie into Froslass. Players can acquire a Dawn Stone through several activities such as treasure hunting with Ursaluna or breaking the random trembling ore nodes. Yet, the most reliable method is purchasing the stone from the Trading Post in Jubilife Village.

Unlike the village’s General Store or Craftworks shop, the Trading Post does its business with Merit Points instead of Poké Dollars. Merit Points are a unique currency earned by collecting Lost Satchels scattered across the regions of Hisui. Each satchel found will reward Trainers with 50 to 100 Merit Points. Once players have accumulated 1,200 Merit Points in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, they can buy a Dawn Stone from the Trading Post.

The Dawn Stone isn’t the only requirement for evolving Kirlia into Gallade. Players must also ensure their Kirlia is male for the evolution to be a success. Once Trainers have given their male Kirlia a Dawn Stone, it will evolve into Gallade. While Gardevoir shares the same dual-Types of Psychic and Fairy with Kirlia, Gallade serves as a Psychic and Fighting-type Pokémon, strong against Fire and Rock-Type Moves yet weak to Ghost and Dragon.
