Hatch Eggs
Ralts in Pokemon GO can be obtained by hatching Eggs. Occasions like Lake Legends and Psychic Spectacular in 2020 offered trainers the option to hatch Ralts from 2 KM and 5 KM Eggs.
Defeat Raid Battles
As a Psychic- and Fairy-type Pokemon, Ralts is particularly weak to Ghost-, Poison-, and Steel-type Fast and Charged attacks. In one-star Raid Battles featuring Ralts, you can take advantage of these vulnerabilities to defeat it.
To beat Ralts in Pokemon GO from raids, consider bringing Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dusk Wings Necrozma, Shadow Metagross, Mega Gengar, Shadow Excadrill, and Mega Banette in your team of counters.
