>>59013357>Nah, Ralts is the only real drawback due to the low stat total and being squishy as fuck.And being slow to level while also requiring switch training to get anywhere in a reasonable timeframe.
>Kirlia is a monster after only a single level because Calm Mind is ridiculous in RSE and allows Kirlia to tank Dark attacks. There are very few trainers you can expect to fight while leveling Kirlia from 21-30 who actually stand a good chance of killing it so long as you don't play like a retard.It has 38/35/55 defenses and is slow. Faster special attackers are leaving dents, and physical attackers are tearing you apart, no effectiveness needed.
Kirlia is slow and needs a turn to get any bulk or power going.
You very much still need to pick your fights. You also don't have Psychic until Level 26.
Spoink more or less ties a +1 Confusion with an unboosted Psybeam(ever so slightly weaker), which it has and Kirlia doesn't.
Spoink is also bulkier than +1 Kirlia unboosted, and faster. All at the same level, too.
Kirlia with 1 Calm Mind is flat worse than base Spoink.
If you go for the double Calm Mind and then Confusion, Spoink is firing off its third Psybeam while you Fire off your first. Spoink has more than twice your damage. Even a second +2 Confusion isn't catching up to the fourth Psybeam.
Spoink does better just clicking Psybeam than Kirlia does with Calm Mind.
Zam is the only Psychic type in RSE that has a claim to S.
The Ralts line is at best in the same tier as Grumpig, whatever tier that is.
Fairy type changes things in ORAS.
