Gardevoir (/ˈɡɑːrdəvwɑːr/ ), known in Japan as Sirnight (Japanese: サーナイト, Hepburn: Sānaito), is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. First introduced in the video games Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the development team wanted to push the concept of what a Pokémon could look like compared to previous installments. After the design was conceived, it was finalized by Ken Sugimori, who added additional details as he felt necessary. Since Gardevoir's debut, it has appeared in multiple games including Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as various merchandise. In media related to the franchise, Gardevoir has been voiced by various voice actors, including Michelle Knotz and Tomoko Kawakami.

It has been generally well-received, with critics praising its design and being regarded as one of the best Pokémon. It has gained notoriety for how often it is depicted in fan-made pornographic imagery.
