Strategy Overview
Despite Trace being a cool ability, Ralts is horribly frail and lacks offensive pressure, making it very difficult to justify use in the tier. As an offensive Psychic-type, it is wildly outlclassed by Abra, which is significantly faster and stronger than Ralts. As a Fairy-type, Spritzee is significantly better due to its sheer bulk and great team support. Ralts's only defining niche is that it is able to revenge trap Diglett by Tracing Arena Trap, but it is often ineffective at this because it fails to KO Diglett from full HP. Ralts also gets some useful support moves, but other than Destiny Bond and Memento, Ralts will often not get to make use of them because of how frail it is.
