 * Ralts's sprite is the only one where its eyes are visible. In Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, one can see them if one were to view Ralts from below in the Pokédex/Trainer memo; however, it is not a sprite.
 * Ralts is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 198.
 * This is also the lowest base stat total of all Psychic-type Pokémon.
 * Despite the fact that Wally catches his Ralts on Route 102 at level 5 in the Hoenn games, it is impossible for the player to catch a level 5 Ralts in the entire game, except through breeding or through the DexNav.

Origin
Ralts's appearance seems to be based slightly on that of a young child, following the theory that young children can sense feelings easier and more thoroughly than adults. Its red "horns" also resemble the tips of a heart shape.

Name origin
Ralts may be a partial of astral (as in ); its other language names seem to follow this. It may also involve relate, referring to the way Ralts will only relate to kind Trainers. It may also be a play on  (a type of dance); Ralts' evolutionary family appears to have several similarities to dancers.
