Interesting Facts: When Gallade mega evolves, it gets red plates on its arms, and the helmet and cape-like protrusions on its head and back give it a knightly appearance. If the situation demands, it can use its psychic power to reshape both arms into blades, and fight using a dual-wielding style. Its upper body becomes white, and the spikes on its head elongate.

NOTES: Start by building the head, make sure to follow the numbers, it's the best way to build it. After the head is built, slide the head details by the side and glue the bigger one by the tips and the smaller ones on the side. The head and the body are separated, so put the head aside and proceed to the body. Start at the neck , build the arms and reinforce them inside. Now proceed to the cape, it's the hardest thing on the model and there's a small trick. First you'll build the white parts and glue them to the red piece that goes in between, than you'll glue the green, leaving the tabs of the green parts to connect to the body and reinforce the inside. I would still recommend you reinforce a bit more than just this tab. Close the body at the bottom. For the "hands" first build the red part and build the white ones around it. The connection is the same for the small and the big details. The legs are the last part. Start them at the bottom and build up. Make sure to reinforce them too. Gluing them will take a lot of patience, refer to the .pdo for reference, hold them in place while they dry. I didn't need any weight to make it stand, but it tilts a bit if a strong wind hits, so you may wanna put some weight inside the legs. Further instructions on the template.
