Ralts may be on the shy side, but once you manage to track it down, it’s worth every bit of effort. It evolves into either Gardevoir or Gallade, giving you a choice between an impressive special attacker or a swift physical striker. Here’s how to spot Ralts in the wild, catch it without knocking it out, and train it into a powerful member of your Cobblemon team.
WHERE TO FIND RALTS
- Biome Preference: Look in plains, forests, and sometimes flower fields—basically any calm, grassy area with plenty of flowers around.
CATCHING RALTS
- Bring the Right Poké Balls: You might only see one Ralts in a while, so be ready with Great Balls or Ultra Balls.
- Weaken It Gently: Ralts has low HP and defense, so moves that can knock it to exactly 1 HP (like False Swipe) are ideal.
- Inflict a Status Effect: Putting Ralts to sleep or paralyzing it boosts your catch chances.
