The newly discovered evolution of Eevee has been given an official English name. Although Ninfia is its Japanese name, The Pokémon Company has announced that English, Spanish and Italian Pokémon trainers will call the new Eevee evolution ‘Sylveon.’ Sylveon is 3’03” in height, weighs 51.8 lbs., and its type remains a secret, but we do know it will not share the same type as any of the existing Eevee evolutions, which means that Sylveon will not be normal, water, fire, electric, psychic, dark, grass or ice-type.
I think it’s a ghost type.
I’m hoping it’s a dragon type… it’s hard to say because there isn’t any obvious indicators ^^;
it maybe a dragon cuz dragons now do not look like dragons like gibble and its evo (they look more like sharks)
So do I.
Sylvan refers to a spirit of the woods so I’m pretty sure it’s ghost. Plus it’s the lightest eeveelution.
No it is not a ghost type. Clearly flying type. Ghost type would be white, or dark purple, or transparent. OR even a mix of those 3 possibilities. Plus it would probably look menacing like Umbreon who represents Dark the “evil” type. Ghost is also pretty “evil-ish.”
I did a quick Google search and found this…couldn’t stop laughing at #4!

How can it be a ghost it’s pink if they didn’t come out the type it’s obvious it’s fairy
CRAP! I was holding on to the slim chance that it was a fake.
Your name is from Durarara, isnt it?
Yep. Mikado ryugamine.
If it’s confirmed to not be a Normal type, the only other one I can think of it would be (judging by looks) is a Flying type.
Oh yeah, I diddn’t even think about it being a flying type! It does look like one now that it think about it XD
I second that opinion, I always thought it could be a flying type, especially since the way it looks, it would be most logical.
I’m gonna go with Air or Wind for my guess…?
Damn Light type!!! LOL Am I the only one who thinks they should add a new type? :P
Yup.
pretty sure its the new gay fairy type
they made a new type fairy
It is called flying not air/wind
Sylveon. I like it.
Yeah sounds nice, definitly second cutest looking Eeveelution behind Espeon of course!!!
Your so right!
espeon my fav then sylveon,the worst one is jolteon and leafeon.well for me.im sending a complaint that they didnt make a flying,bug ghost, nor dragon type! Also Metal.And When they said marill will be a water and fairy type pokemon i was like that is so not right
Sylveon looks like a flying type to me.
Dragon, fighting, steel, poison, flying, bug, and ghost…what other types are there? Any guesses as to what it could be?
A new type?
light? sound? :o !
fairy
its fairy
Rock and ground. You forgot those
No eeveelution is normal typed, only eevee is. And eevee is not an evolution of itself, and therefore no eeveelution.
It could very well be a normal type.
Exactly, it’s impossible to have a “Normal” evolution of Eevee, unless it hated you, either way, it’ll turn into an Espeon or Umbreon, and they cant say “well if you dont get its friendship high enough before lvl x then you dont get Umbreon or Espeon, because that would fuck up the system
How about holding an everstone? Ironic
yeah, surely is a normal type…
its a new type fairy
Thank you. I was about to say that.
Name says steel. Looks say flying. Unless mew type.
Calling it, new type, Light or Shine or something.
It’s eyes are exactly like shiny stones.
Actually…i just remember a rumour that the new type was going to “Sound”.
2 perhaps? to represent to two legendaries?
Light and Sound FTW!
fairy
It’s eyes are like all the other Eevee forms, a solid color with a “shine” that represents their pupils. Only this time it is Sky blue because it is a flying type. I bet you a million bucks it is flying type. ;)
It’s Fairy look on yt
THE POWER OF LOVE <3 HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYBODY
– The REAL Bill –
Fuck you.
We love you.
it’s a normal type
Even though it says at the bottom, its not a normal type.
Also i it was Normal it would retain a similar look to Eevee, but Sylveon has a completely different design, but like the other evos.
so? Just because eevee is normal doesn’t mean it can’t get a normal eeveelution.
i see what you did there.png
I suppose I am confused as to why that rules out the possibility of it being a normal-type evolution.
Look at my reply above.
Also, Normal is basically the most useless type, they would hide the type of the Pokemon just to say “LOL, its normal type *troll face*”
I feel like that’s the reason why they are hiding the type. But if it has a special way of evolving it I don’t think it will stay similar to eevee in appearance.
Exactly, the change is way to drastic for it to me a normal type, and ever other existing type doesnt match up with it.
Er I was saying it can be normal and look different because of the special way to evolve it
Well that wouldnt make sense. Eevee’s evolutions look different because its basically mutating its DNA. Mutating its DNA to look different but actually have no change in type would be silly.
Plus, i really doubt Game Freak are going to hype up Normal type, its the lamest type of them all.
I mean I personally believe its flying or bug. But in the back of my mind Normal is the most logical.
Ermm, Normal is an incredibly useful type. Normal is generally suited for walls and such because it only has one weakness. Yeah, it has no strengths, but it doesn’t need them. Some of the best pokemon are normal types, like Blissey. Every type in the game has some sort of usefulness, and normal is not an exception
It’s a Flying or Normal Type for sure. My first choice was Psychic, but that’s taken of course. Either it’s Flying or Normal. It could be possible for it to be Normal since Polywhirl (Water) evolves into either Politoad (Water) or Poliwrath (Water/Fighting). Hence how Eevee itself being a Normal Type is irrelevant.
Considering all of the evolutions names have something to do with their type and sylv is similar to silver, it has potential to be a steel type. Though sylv could be something else other than silver of course – just the first thing that comes to mind.
This is what I’m thinking too, but I’m very open to a new type if it is
I shifted my opinion from Normal to Dragon…sonething about it says Dragon…
It has antennae, it’s covered in butterflies, it’s clearly a Bug type
bug type would be dark green or something, it would have bug-like eyes and maybe SOME sort of bug characteristic. Sylveon’s characteristics are CLEARLY flying..
I’m looking to add a grass-type to my team, do you recommend Flygon or Electrike?
This subject is more important than the economy ftw xD
ikr? xD
Actually.. I’m gonna change my tune. I believe it’ll be a steel type due to it’s name sounding like “silver”. If not this, then flying.
Wouldn’t you think the Steel type would be…maybe grey? Or ACTUALLY silver??
By the name, it’s either going to be a Bug or Metal Type. “Sylv” could be “silver”, or it could be “silverfish”.
i think eevee is a whore, it sleeps with so many pokemon, it has so many evolve forms, eevee will be the biggest whore in pokemon history, jynx sorry even you arent as much of a whore, your to ugly anyway
It changes form beause of stone’s and happiness towards trainer. Not because of sleeping around. How is Eevee a whore compared to other pokemon? Every Pokemon pretty much breeds the same amount except for legendaries…who don’t breed at all.
dont know haha, just saying
Oh lol
Its tough… I’m gonna guess its Flying and stick with that… even though it’d kill me if I was right about them making a light type and they decide to unveil it now!
It looks like victini evolution. Lol
ikr? lol xD
What’s great about eeveelutions is that it starts with a Normal-type and change into a different type.
A Normal-type evolving into another Normal-type would be boring in my opinion.
So I’m saying Flying, if it’s not a brand-new type.
Guys, notice how the pokemon are lined up in the picture, The eeveelutions across from each other are opposite types (Glaceon is weak to Flareon, Unbreon is strong against Espeon, etc.) So since Sylveon is across from Jolteon, Its either Rock, Ground, or Flying. Considering that it looks nothing like a Rock or Ground type, I think it will be flying
Good point I would agree, but was this picture posted by Nintendo or Gamefreak themselves as a promotion for Sylveon or was it fan made who believes it is a Flying type!?
Yep, its on Pokemon.com, http://www.pokemon.com/pokemonxy/en-us/ scroll down a little bit and its there
Yeah, the picture is a huge hint. Definitely flying type.
Yeah.. it is Flying type. Definitly, the butterflies represent “flying in the wind” and the wind is Sylveon’s ribbons. The colors match up, the eyes match up. *Cough *cough the use of the color SKY blue…There is no doubt in my mind.
Has No one noticed the obvious? Its clearly the ??? type that was removed in the 5th gen.
It’s one of the new types called Light, Sylveon has major speed boost over other Eeveelutions.
Light Type is the counter to Dark type, there will only be three different Pokemon that are Light Type.
Light type’s also have these stats:
1.High Speed
2. Very small health regeneration, it can draw in the sunlight automatically unless there is an area effect.
Xerneas is also of the Light Type.
The cover of the Japanese versions shows a rainbow DNA strand, this represents the Light Type.
leave your godamn fanfic types out of this
Sylvana \s(y)-lva-
na, syl-vana\ as a girl’s name is a variant of Sylvia (Latin), and the meaning of Sylvana is “woods, forest”.
it most likely comes from “Sylph”, which is a type of fairy (winged air elemental). the german name Feelinara starts with “Fee” which is the german word for fairy. the japanese Name Ninfia comes from “Nymph”, yet again a type of fairy…
This is exactly what I thought.
that is what i think and everyone at my school, well all the pokemon fan said wich is alot so yah
Obviously rock.
Just because Sylveon was shown using Normal-type moves does not indicate it’s type. Eevee learns Swift and Trump Card before it evolves at later levels.
Adding a new type would throw off a balance of the other types that are made. Psychic type was too powerful in Gen 1, so Dark was made as it’s “bane.” Same goes for Dragon; in Gen 1 there wasn’t any resistances to Dragon Types, but then again there was only one Dragon-type move. But with the addition of new moves in Gen 2, including new Dragon-type moves, to counter the over-powered-ness (not a word, but bare with me) of Dragon Type, Steel type had to be made as its only resistance to help stop Dragon type from being too powerful.
I’d have to say another type would have to be made in order to keep the balance between all of the types. But that’s just my opinion. Flying-type is most logical in this case, if it isn’t Normal.
If there is a gender-based means of evolution to obtain a Sylveon, then that would suggest that there is a male evolution of Eevee. Maybe a different type with a different name? No one knows but those developing the game and the Pokemon. We just have to wait and see what they decide to show us next. Although it’s going to be fucking painful to have to wait.
If you are looking at the chart above all evolutions on the opposite side are type advantages/disadvantages so I’m guess it would either be ground or flying
Seriously looks like a normal type to me, they will probably have you need an item or something like that to make it evolve, but here is the link to the trailer of Sylveon in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pse_I1klRhA&feature=player_embedded
it uses moves like swift.
