Below are the ways to add Ralts to your collection:

  • Catch it in the wild
  • Hatch Eggs
  • Defeat Raid Battles
  • Complete Research Tasks
  • Photobomb encounters
  • Trade

Catch it in the wild

During events featuring Ralts, the creature can spawn more frequently in the wild. To significantly boost its spawn rate, you could attach Lure Modules at PokeStops and activate Incense during Windy and Cloudy weather in-game.

By using this lure strategy during Community Day and Spotlight Hour featuring Ralts, you may be able to come across a perfect IV Ralts.

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.

With multiple Research Tasks available to complete, including Field Research Tasks, Timed Research tasks, and Special Research Tasks, you can choose any one of the three that offer Ralts encounter rewards.


Photobomb encounters

Ralts Community Day is the first to feature the critter in Photobomb gameplay. Take AR photos of creatures to get photobombed by Ralts in Pokemon GO at this event.


Trade

When nothing seems to work, make an effort to ask your in-game friends to trade a Ralts with you. The evolution of Ralts: Kirlia, Gardevoir, and Gallade, can also be traded.
