I feel like sylveon is
 
A ghost type, anyone else? I mean she's very pastel, the fangs, the eyes, ghosts can be cutesy right?
Anyone with me? I'm no expert on attacks in any way but they also led me to think this, even though I have no idea what's what.

What are your thoughts on typing?

François February 14th, 2013 5:36 AM

Sylveon -> Sylph and "Sylphs are female and are almost transparent. They're slender and graceful, with large glistening eyes and huge wings".

That to me seems like a fairly strong endorsement of this being the Flying type Eeveelution.

Mithel_Celestia February 14th, 2013 5:46 AM

Clue: Ninfia is considered the lightest eeveelution. Though not the lightest Pokemon, but the light weightness could provide a clue. Flying comes to mind, maybe some way of flight, I picture Sylveon could create wings made of energy. Imagine Sylveon with feather wings, it would look very cool.

Miss Doronjo February 14th, 2013 5:50 AM

Corocoro mentioned that that more secrets will be revealed about it next month. Sooo that will be the new addition. Any hopes? Maybe it's typing will be revealed? Or maybe how to actually evolve Eevee to it?

Ho-Oh February 14th, 2013 5:53 AM

I like the English name, and that it likely hints towards Flying-type Eeveelution. If that's trueee then I wonder why they decided on only flying??

But ya, I think next month we'll definitely get its typing, and perhaps details about an event involving it maybe...?

I had the same idea, Sylv could only mean Sylph and Sylphs are beings of the air, so it's one of the biggest pieces of evidence that it'd end up as a flying type.

Thats not all true. Slyphs can be male as they have no real gender. They are spirits that use wind to construct their bodies and are usually feminine by looks but fan take male forms. Though they are really genderless spiritual constructs.

I am agreeing that Sylveon has a good chance of being Flying now, but still have to wit for confirmation.

Mujahid February 14th, 2013 8:31 AM

If it DOES end up being Flying type, i would be disappointed. Yes, it's the lightest eevelution but not my much. Neither does it have a very aerodynamic Body shape.4 ribbons can't lift 23 kgs.

Spinosaurus February 14th, 2013 8:38 AM

So wait, are the bow tie and ribbons coming from its flesh? It sure looks like it and that's plain creepy.

What a soulless design, borderline terrible. Then again I suppose that's what you should expect from an Eevee evolution.

Guy February 14th, 2013 8:44 AM

Given the English name, which is pretty awesome by the way, I think it's looking more and more likely that Sylveon will be a Flying type. With the Sylph connection, does anyone think the long ribbons were inspired from the Sylph Hummingbird?



Also, we've got some footage.


Schwan February 14th, 2013 9:15 AM

I like that idea. I'd love for it to be a Ghost. The shiny can be purple maybe.

Also, this is gonna get moved to the CoroCoro discussion thread.

Nick February 14th, 2013 10:26 AM

oh my god, what if it is? the move at :15 could be aerial ace!!

Keiran February 14th, 2013 10:35 AM

It's Trump Card, actually.

PlatinumDude February 14th, 2013 10:41 AM

I dig "Sylveon". I have no idea what the first attack was, but the next two were most definitely Trump Card and Swift.

It looked like focus blast, not sure though. I'm curious what that third move was though. It looks like it's charging up Zap Cannon but it just stops.

Rivvon February 14th, 2013 11:31 AM

Wow, that actually would explain the eyes and fangs! And its elegance could make it vampire-based. Not sure how the name ties in with it (well, it would tie in with Nynfia), but that's not a bad interpretation at all! I'm definitely keeping that on my possibilities list.

I didn't know that. But that makes sense. I should have searched that but since that is a lot of Pokémons with weird types, I thought that Vibrava was just more one. But thanks for informing me. ;)
Anyway, I think Sylveon will not be dragon type but yes, flying type due to the prefix. Like the others prefixes of olders eeveelotuions resemble to something, "Sylph", in this case, resembles to the air.
I think that isn't more anything to argue about this.

Ace. February 14th, 2013 12:14 PM

Sylveon doesn't look like a ghost type to me. It looks like a normal type. But I think it will be a flying type because lots of people are also saying it'll be a flying type c; I don't think it'll be a light type because err.. I just don't want a light type c;

blue February 14th, 2013 1:47 PM

I think it fits in well in terms of design with the other Eeveelutions, I was slightly skeptical at first but I'm really warming to it now! Especially after finding out it's English translated name. Plus, the Eeveelution count is at a nice rounded figure now.

Why is the pic lined up for super effective and weakness equality? Don't tell me Sylveon is flying...

It's funny you mention that, because I noticed this earlier. It definitely supports the idea of Sylveon being Flying, since Water is already taken.

RedWing February 14th, 2013 2:24 PM

EDIT: Nevermind...

I'd love for Sylveon to be Flying, personally. I'm just curious as to how it will evolve. Will it be location-based? Or maybe the first trade Eeveelution?

C Payne February 14th, 2013 2:34 PM

That short trailer and the flowing ribbons is only convincing me more and more that it is a Flying-type(along with the Sylph talk) and it's just too friggin' adorable that I have to finally admit it.

Yeah the first move definitely looks like Focus Blast. As for the third one, maybe Focus Energy? Or I guess it could be a new move altogether, it doesn't have a resemblance of any current move that really sticks out.

blue February 14th, 2013 2:41 PM

By that logic it could easily be reversed, meaning Sylveon is Super Effective against Jolteon which makes it a Ground Type, something that hasn't been used either.

HyperXhydra February 14th, 2013 2:58 PM

It's most probably a flying type, but after I saw the trailer I think it's a normal type.
