Pokemon Fan Designs New Female-Only Evolution for Kirlia

A Pokemon fan designed a new female-only evolution concept for the critter called Kirlia and shared a picture of their creation, as well as a few traits, on social media. The Pokemon fan artist was complimented by some fans for their effort, while other users chimed in with their thoughts on Kirlia's current evolution line.

Known as the Emotion Pokemon, Kirlia first appeared in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire as a Psychic-type Pokemon. Kirlia evolves from Ralts starting at level 20, and Pokemon X and Y granted Kirlia the Fairy-type in addition to Psychic. Kirlia is one of a handful of Pokemon that has a split evolution branch based on some factors. Kirlia can evolve into Gardevoir starting at level 30. However, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl brought an evolution exclusive to male Kirlia called Gallade, which also requires using a Dawn Stone. The Paradox Pokemon Iron Bundle also resembles both Gallade and Gardevoir, and both Gardevoir and Gallade have Mega Evolution forms that can be accessed in certain Pokemon titles.

Given that male and female Gardevoir exist, one Pokemon fan granted Kirlia a female-exclusive counterpart to Gallade. Known for their work on other Pokemon fan-made evolutions, including Hatterene and Espartha, a Reddit user named JJonnie created a female-only Kirlia evolution and posted their work on the r/Pokemon subreddit. Dubbing their creation Gallet, a mix between Gallade and ballet, the OP gave their creation the Ice and Psychic types. With a white body and skirt, and red gems adorning its chest and feet, Gallet is designed like a figure skater. Its feet are shaped like ice skates, and it has a battle pose resembling what a figure skater would take during a routine. Gallet's hairstyle is a mix between Gardevoir and Gallade.

In aPokemon battle, JJonnie gave Gallet the Slush Rush ability, which would double the Pokemon's speed in snowy weather. While stats and moves were not posted by the OP, the Ice and Psychic dual-typing put Gallet in rare company, as it is
