Stats & Training
An unusually even spread gives Ralts flexibility. Sp. Atk barely edges ahead. But Attack isn't far off. Easy to catch and follows a slow 1.25M XP grind. Yields 1 Sp. Atk EV.
Tends to prefer people with a chipper disposition to those who are gloomy, but it has shown no discrimination with regard to age or gender. Needs more research.
