Someone re-tag this question.

Answer 1

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, if the player has a picnic with one Pokémon that holds a Mirror Herb and has an empty move slot, and another Pokémon that knows a move the first Pokémon can learn as an Egg Move, after the picnic the first Pokémon will learn that Egg Move, even if there is no matching Egg Group or if both Pokémon are of the same gender. This does not consume the Mirror Herb.

I'm really surprised nobody has mentioned this yet. Delete a slot in Ralts' move set, give it the Mirror Herb, then go into a picnic with a Gastly or any other Pokemon that knows Destiny Bond and if you did this right, Ralts should come out of the picnic knowing Destiny Bond.

For the best results, you may want to delete any other moves the Destiny Bond Pokemon has to reduce the chance of accidentally passing on a different move to Ralts.

The Mirror Herb can be bought at Delibird Presents in Cascarrafa for 30,000 PokeCoins.

Breeding in SV is so much easier due to the Mirror Herb, so be sure to utilize it! Although if you really want to do traditional breeding, you need a female Ralts and a male Gastly knowing Destiny Bond.
Hope I helped!

Answer 2

You will get a Ralts with Destiny Bond if you breed a female Ralts with a male Gastly. The egg would be either gender.

You can get more information from the breeding and egg groups page.
