Very decent of a Pokemon indeed, with will o wisp and sychronize. It's also a good calm minder with a good initial special defense. Stick on psychic and thunderbolt for the standard. Or play around a bit with reflect/light screen, destiny bond and HP Special.

Not bad, not bad at all!

Here's what I think. There's two kinds of Pokemon: Rare and Legendary. Rare Pokemon are just hard to find and require a bit of patience. Legendary Pokemon are one of a kind and can always be found in one place. Ralts, i think, is considered rare, since it took me awhile to find it.

Actually, I found 12 ralts once, but only 2 of them were female. The first female I accidently fainted, but I caught the second.

Yeah. Ralts is rare. I was playing Sapphire and it took me about 20 encounters before I saw even one Ralts.

I spent almost 30 minutes walking around the grass before I could find a Ralts! My effort was not in vain though because as a result of walking around the grass, my torchic became level 15 at the end of my search.

Rave :D

If rare means the appearances in the wild, then yes Ralts is rare. With odds of 4%, that sounds pretty darn rare to me. ^_^
If rare means actual appearances in battles, then not really. Lots of people use Gardevoir in their teams, with it's high special defense and whatnot.

4%? No wonder it was so hard to find it! I got one though :)

I did some quick looking up, and in all of the Hoenn games, no matter the version or generation, Ralts can only be found on Route 102, has a 4% chance of appearing, and can only be found at level 3. So... yeah! I'd say that's pretty rare!

I remember in my first Sapphire playthrough I was convinced that Ralts only had a chance of appearing on the specific patch of grass where Wally was during the catch tutorial, and just kept looking in other directions on that patch of grass until I found a Ralts. That may seem ridiculous, but fast forward a few badges to Feebas, and a Pokemon only appearing on a specific tile doesn't seem so silly anymore.
