Some people may not know this, but unlike wilds ralts (whom are ‘attracted’ to kind-hearted trainers), ralts that are hatched from eggs from breeders (or worse, rescued from poke-mills) tend to form bonds with trainers that have latent physic abilities. These ralts, and their evolutions, have a stronger connection with their trainers, well beyond what the pokedex entries state.

Bill: It’s true that people with psychic abilities—latent or not—tend to form stronger bonds with psychic-types in general. This is for either of two reasons. First, if the trainer’s abilities are unlocked and overt, then it’s easier for that human to empathize with their pokémon, both emotionally speaking and psychically speaking. That is to say, psychics not only understand their pokémon better, but they can use their own abilities to forge connections with them. Likewise, trainers with unlocked abilities can sometimes use those same powers to strengthen the bond between themselves and their pokémon. Think of it like holding hands with someone, and neither of you want to let go.

Second, if the trainer’s abilities are latent, then the reverse happens, and the psychic-type will latch onto that human—perhaps even attempt to awaken those talents, in certain cases.

Of course, it should be noted that according to some experts, such as Saffron City’s own Sabrina, everyone has latent psychic abilities on one level or another, but to be fair, there is still some debate in the academic circles about whether or not this is true. Studies thus far have been largely inconclusive on the matter.

In short, what you say has more than a few grains of truth to it, dear reader, and ralts are indeed open to forming strong bonds with humans they feel a particularly intense level of empathy towards, especially if the human in question is capable of reciprocating psychically.
