Reserving a Ralts for Hwang, will edit shortly.
Edit: Hwang, take a Ralts called Ambiguous.
In a manner similar to humans, Ralts culture features a heavy divide between males and females. Male Ralts are expected to grow into big and strong Gallade, while female Ralts are expected to become prim and proper Gardevoir. An awful lot of pressure is put onto the young Ralts to fit into their assigned role, and unfortunately for Ambiguous, this just isn't how (s)he works.
Ambiguous must be the first Ralts you encounter, or if you fail to capture it, must at least be the same gender as that first Ralts. The gender of the captured Ralts, as stated by the game, determines the restrictions as follows:
Male:
Ambiguous was born male, but always felt more attuned to the female way of life. Therefore, while culture will force Ambiguous to evolve into a Gallade, she will live as a female and go through life as if she were a Gardevoir.
In essence, Ambiguous will go through all the motions that any Gardevoir would. Any attacking moves must be special - no physical moves allowed. You can optionally teach Ambiguous one physical move, but using the move distresses her - next turn, she will switch out and refuse to fight for the rest of the battle (if a Trainer fight) or until healed at a Pokémon Centre (if a wild battle).
Furthermore, since Ralts culture has the unfortunate side effect of causing females to feel they are weaker than males, if Ambiguous ever falls into red HP, she must switch out for a male Pokémon on your team who must stay out until Ambiguous has been healed to green HP. If she faints, the next Pokémon to sent out must be male and must try their best to revenge kill. If this isn't possible for whatever reason (e.g. all male Pokémon are fainted or can't be sent out due to another restriction), then just ignore it.
Female:
Ambiguous was born female, but always enjoyed the rough-and-tumble of male life to the dignified approach of his peers. While culture will force Ambiguous to evolve into a Gardevoir, he will live as a male and go through life as if he were a Gallade.
In essence, Ambiguous will go through all the motions that any Gallade would. Any attacking moves must be physical - no special moves allowed. You can optionally teach Ambiguous one special move, but using the move distresses him - next turn, he will switch out and refuse to fight for the rest of the battle (if a Trainer fight) or until healed at a Pokémon Centre (if a wild battle).
In Ralts culture, males are heralded as strong upholders and the protectors of women, and Ambiguous feels more at home with this. If a female Pokémon on your team ever falls into red HP, Ambiguous must switch in to act as a shield, and won't leave until the female Pokémon is healed to green HP. If a female Pokémon on your team faints, Ambiguous must switch in and try his best to revenge kill. If this isn't possible for whatever reason (e.g. Ambiguous has fainted), then just ignore it.
Summary:
Ambiguous the Ralts
- Must be the first Ralts you encounter. If you fail to capture this Ralts, the Ralts you do eventually capture must be of the same listed gender.
If game lists gender as male:
- Ambiguous wants to be treated as female for all purposes.
- Must evolve into Gallade.
- May have at most one physical move. Using this move distresses Ambiguous, who will switch out and refuse to fight until the end of the battle (if a Trainer fight) or until healed at a Pokémon Centre (if a wild battle).
- If fallen into red HP, must switch out for a male Pokémon who must stay in until Ambiguous has been healed into green HP.
- If fainted, a male Pokémon must revenge kill or die trying.

- If a female Pokémon on your team falls into red HP, Ambiguous must switch in and protect them until they have been healed into green HP.
- If a female Pokémon on your team faints, Ambiguous must revenge kill or die trying.
Probably my most complicated Scramblemon so far, but the restrictions boil down to something simple enough in the end, I think. It's also caused Ralts and family to seem much more sinister; I never realised how sexist they all were! D:
