All Things Sylveon

[PokeLordAndrew]

Most likely is ghost, not only because of the ribbons but Sylveon creep me out

[legendhunter14]

If it would turn out to be Ghost type, everbody would be astound! It eill be a major twist in the Ghodt type section. But to see a Pokémon that changes the look of a type is really good thought by GF.

[Magykx]

Just throwing this out there. If it is indeed a Ghost type, maybe it changes forms at night. Maybe to a more Ghost-ish looking appearance. I know that's reaching but I don't know. But to do with forms, I think the male/female counterparts theory like mentioned is more believable. I'm still rooting for Flying type.

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

I wouldn't mind if it were Ghost, it'll be good to see another Ghost type that isn't mostly grey, purple, or black.
Also if it's Ghost I imagine it's ability may be something hp related, or perhaps it'll be a ups Ghost moves in a Pinch kind of ability, that or simply levitate...

This is actually something that'd be pretty interesting to see! :3 Though there's still the problem of what its real "Ghost" form could actually be like, if it is Ghost.

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

If it had another forme (I've noticed the starters have been the only new Pokémon where formes haven't been talked about as of late) I imagine it to look like a white or lightblue version of pink Sylveon. I doubt it'll have another forme but one never knows.

As a betting ma-...storm system, I say it won't have another Forme. This is an Eeveelution; unless it's itself legendary (who knows?), I can't see it happening.

I really don't see an Eeveelution getting a form change. I mean, it already now has eight evolutions, does it actually need any sort of form to change it even further?

[Forever]

A form change to be more Ghostly at night would be awesome. It could be a curse laid upon it :3

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

Not unless Sylveon is the all the other types in one do I see it getting formes.

I hope GF and Nintendo will at least drop some hints even if they will wait it out until the short comes out to reveal it's typing, though I doubt they'll keep it a secret until July...

[Shiny Celebi]

I can't really see Sylveon or any other Eeveelution getting a forme, it just seems kinda out there IMO. I hope we dont have to wait till July, they ought to give us a hint.

[PokemonTrainerC.White]

I think it'll b a comebination maybe of a Flying/Normal Type.

[Forever]

In regards to dropping hints at this point I'm starting to think that it just... won't happen until then. They'll pretend like they never announced it imo.

[Shiny Celebi]

Im not expecting any Sylveon info for a while, but they could build a little more hype, pretending it dosent exist is kinda lame IMO, but I guess this is just Pokemon -_-

It will not be a dual type. If they do that, then the Eeveelution theme is ruined.

Cyclone

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

I want it to be Ghost or Dragon. And if they don't give us something to keep Sylveon relevant until the movie I fear it may be forgotten/overshadowed by what is to come.

But you don't know that for sure. Things could change, and with the (hopeful) DNA theme, an alteration to the actual Eeveelution theme could be possible.

It's my opinion. To me, it ruins the line of individual typed Eeveelutions. I dislike the idea of dual-types.

Cyclone

[adam672]

I think it will be a flying type, but I want it to be a new type.

[Aerilyn]

Personally, I hope Sylveon isn't given a dual-type. I don't think it's actually going to happen, but I'm not dismissing it as entirely impossible. I just don't think that after seven evolutions each representing a specific type, they're going to abandon that formula and have Eevee evolve into something dual-type, especially something as mundane as a Flying/Normal type. It defeats the purpose of Eevee and its evolutions. Logically speaking, however, it would make sense for Eevee to evolve into something that's a dual-type in order to adapt to certain areas since not every location is as one note as some.

[Forever]

I don't really want it to be a dual-type either, but I think it's really possible. If it is DNA, then consider that Sylveon is the first non-legendary/non-starter introduced. There has to be a reason for that, imo.

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

I don't see how the theme being DNA and it being introduced early on will make it duel type other than the idea of two things mixing...
I think it'll be Dragon. One can also make the case for DNA and Dragon as Cyrus used the DNA metaphor to explain the realms link, and the legends were Dragon, and then we having Kyurem and it's DNA slicers... and Kyurem and it's trio are Dragon (this second example is better). This however is just paper in the wind.
I don't think the theme of the mascots will have much impact, I mean Sinnoh's evolutions had little to...wait space can mean location...and Johto's mascots were sun and moon...day and night...hmm there may be something with DNA relating to it's evolution after all...

I've always thought the reasoning behind revealing Sylveon so early was to add to the hype of the upcoming movie and Pikachu short after all of the Eevee promotion from the past few months.

[Forever]

Actually guys consider that while it was to create hype - they could've revealed another at the same time. Also, left typing ambiguous, like the legendaries. Legendaries are most likely related to DNA and we know the starters. Theoretically this could've been a plan by them to hint to why it's lacking it's type - because it's the first dual Eevee, created due to DNA merging, and being the mascot of DNA merging in the games! If that's a thing ofc. :3

I agree with this. It has to be single type.
