Evolve your Kirlia into Gallade with a Dawn Stone in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Looking to further fill your Pokedex with the Psychic-and-Fighting type, Gallade? Here is all you need to know on how to evolve your Kirlia into Gallade in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Introduced in the fourth Pokemon generation via Diamond and Pearl, Gallade is among the most interesting evolutions, being an alternative evolution for Kirlia away from Gardevoir. However, for series newcomers or those who haven't played a Pokemon game in a while, the way to evolve Kirlia can be a mystery.
So, let's get into how to evolve Kirlia into Gallade in the game.
How to evolve Kirlia into Gallade
The way to evolve Kirlia into Gallade is by giving a male Kirlia a Dawn Stone. Thankfully, this is the same method needed to evolve Kirlia in the past. It's quite straightforward compared to other evolution methods needed for certain Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet - like how to evolve Bisharp into Kingambit.
Alternatively, wild Gallade can be found in later areas of the game; Alfornada Cavern, Dalizapa Passage, Glaseado Mountain, and North Province Area One; but if want one in your team early on, or are trying to raise a Gallade for competitive PvP battles, evolution via Dawn Stone is the way to go.
In terms of where to get the Dawn Stone, this can also be found in various locations out in the wild - meaning you'll almost definitely pick one up in your travels across the game eventually.
If you want a specific location, the most straightforward, but depending on luck, is one of the auctions in Port Marinada. However, the auctions available each day are entirely random, so whether the Dawn Stone will be available is all by chance.
In Pokeball item drops, the Dawn Stone can also be found in the quarry based in the north of Levincia. Alternatively, one can be found in a ruin northwest of Medali.
The final way to get a Dawn Stone is via Pokedex rewards. If you've caught at least 270 Pokemon, just press the X button for the rewards section in the Pokedex, and the Dawn Stone will be unlocked automatically.
If you are looking to complete your Pokedex, take a look at how to find the prehistoric Paradox Pokemon, Roaring Moon - or how to find the futuristic Paradox Pokemon, Iron Valiant.
