Where to find it

• Scripted encounter (Lv. 10): Pal Park — standing Pokémon.

  After the Cianwood Gym story opens the Resort Zone, enter Pal Park’s Fixed Catch mode for $10,000 with room for six more Pokémon in the PC. This standing Pokémon appears on Wednesday, or Monday 07:00–18:59. Bring your own Poké Balls.

• Scripted encounter (Lv. 15): Route 3.

  After the Cascade Badge, if you did not accept the painter’s gift, read the letter beside Ralts and agree to take it. One encounter; catching, defeating or fleeing removes it. Quest guide.

• Gift (Lv. 15): Route 3.

  Before the Cascade Badge, give the Route 3 painter one Fresh Water, then accept his Ralts. Leave a free party slot. Quest guide.

Chance per encounter, under the conditions shown.

Times and conditions

Where to find Ralts in the wild

Location	Method / conditions	Level	Chance
Route 17	Grass/cave, day	32	4%
Pal Park, Fixed Catch mode: Wednesday	Grass/cave, any time	20	10%
Alto Mare Waters	Grass/cave, morning and day	12	10%
Alto Mare Waters	Grass/cave, night	12	10%

Pal Park: The wild table changes with the day of the week (by the DS clock). You get in through the Catching Show's Fixed Catch mode at the Pal Park reception ($10,000; bring your own Poké Balls). Sunday's table is the same as Cerulean Cave's, probably by mistake in the hack, so it also has Surf and fishing slots: the park has a pond and a stretch of sea.

See the quest guide: Resort Zone: the Pal Park's Fixed Catch mode (wild Pokémon by weekday).

Evolution

Evolves into Kirlia at Lv 20.
