The Story

What the Pokédex says

  • Legends: Arceus

    It resembles a maiden in appearance, but it wields strange powers to project visions of paradise. I suspect the crimson ornaments on its head are the key to its abilities.

  • Shield

    It has a psychic power that enables it to distort the space around it and see into the future.

  • Sword

    If its Trainer becomes happy, it overflows with energy, dancing joyously while spinning about.

  • Alpha Sapphire

    Kirlia uses the horns on its head to amplify its psychokinetic power. When the Pokémon uses its power, the air around it becomes distorted, creating mirages of nonexistent scenery.
