How to get Iron Valiant in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir & Gallade

Pokemon Violet players can encounter Iron Valiant, the future Paradox form of Ralts’ final evolutions.

Iron Valiant is a Fairy/Fighting Paradox Pokemon exclusive to Pokemon Violet. It is said to be a distant relative of Ralts’ final evolutions, Gardevoir and Gallade.

Below is everything trainers need to know to find and evolve Ralts into Gardevoir or Gallade and how to find Iron Valiant in Violet.

How to find Iron Valiant in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

While Ralts and its standard evolutions are present in Scarlet and Violet, only players with Violet can catch Future Form Iron Valiant.

Iron Valiant can be caught in The Great Crater of Paldea (Area Zero). It does not freely roam Area Zero but can be found inside its caves.

To obtain Iron Valiant on Scarlet, players must either play in Co-op Mode with a friend possessing Violet or trade with a friend who has already caught Iron Valiant.

**More than one Iron Valiant can be caught in Violet.

Where to find Gallade in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Pokemon trainers will also be able to encounter the Stage Two evolution Gallade in remote areas of Paldea:

• In the snowy and upper area of North Province (Area One)
• Below Glaseado Mountain and the lower part of Tagtree Thicket

Like the rest of the Ralts evolution line, Gallade also appears as a wild spawn in Kitakami. Unlike Gardevoir, a rare spawn, Gallade is not listed as such. Trainers can find Gallade in Kitakami around the grassy plateau between the Timeless Woods and the Fellhorn Gorge.

How to evolve Ralts into Kirlia

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players raising Ralts will see it evolve into Kirlia at level 20.

How to evolve Kirlia into Gardevoir or Gallade

Once players have obtained Kirlia, they will have a few choices to make to evolve it into Gallade or Gardevoir. Kirlia will naturally evolve into Psychic/Fairy-type Gardevoir regardless of gender at level 30.

However, those with a male Kirlia can use a Dawn Stone before level 30. This will evolve the Kirlia into the Psychic/Fighting-type Gallade.

Both Pokemon have their strengths depending on their typing, and players may choose one over the other to help round out the types already on their teams.
