If you look closely at the head you see a head band like thing around it. Possibly indicating fighting type. Also Ninfia is its name so Nin=ninja=fighting???

I don't think an Eeveelution is important enough to silhouette. ;w;

I'm taking a guess that it's either the small legendary, the third legendary, or some other Zoroark-type of being that'll be a movie 'mon.
Either way, my hubby and I see the silhouette entirely different... I thought I'd go ahead and show you guys what we're seeing.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/25431421/silo.png

H = head, C = chest, W = wing, S = stomach, T = tail. Where the question mark is toward the bottom could be potential legs... The strange circular shape around what I assume is the tail is either a twirled tail or a ring around it, to me. The place I assume to be the head is way too different in shape from the assumed wing to be a second ear. So I definitely don't think it's a furry creature like Fennekin or Eevee. Not to mention there is no snout-like shape where I assume the chest is. It doesn't resemble any Eeveelution I've ever seen.

It seems to be either serpentine in shape or centaur-like if those are legs at the bottom.

YES! That's exactly how I see it. The silhouette is pretty ambiguous.

Oryx February 11th, 2013 8:07 PM

I don't think those two big parts at the top are ears. If Pokemon was going to have spiked fur coming out of one, they would probably having it coming out of both.

Sydian February 11th, 2013 8:11 PM

I hope one of those is wrong...the name Ninfia for an Eeveelution? Either it needs a new name ending with -eon, or it's not an Eeveelution if it keeps that name. idk I just...I'm having a hard time accepting they'd not end an Eeveelution name with -eon. Doesn't make sense to me.

Miss Doronjo February 11th, 2013 8:12 PM

Do you guys still have doubts? :B

The Japanese name for Glaceon and Leafeon are Glacia and Lefia. If this ends up turning out to be a new Eeveelution, which at this point seems likely, then it's more than likely the English names will change to have an -eon at the end of it.

That is its Japanese name. They dont use eon.

Kenshin5 February 11th, 2013 8:15 PM

Looks to be Normal, with some Milotic aspects to it. Maybe evolutions by Beauty and they bring contests back?

EJ February 11th, 2013 8:15 PM

What type would that be? normal? flying?

Oryx February 11th, 2013 8:15 PM

WHAT TYPE IS THAT WHAT WHAT

Ah! I see now! It was a ribbon going across the other way, and the snout was facing forward! That's one tricky silhouette.

That makes a lot of sense now. It's quite beautiful! <3 I can't help but feel that it's a normal evolution. >w>

Retro Bug February 11th, 2013 8:18 PM

Oh, ahaha. Yep, I wasn't looking at the silhouette right.

Yes, I want to know typing. It looks Normal to me but I don't think it is...

Ho-Oh February 11th, 2013 8:18 PM

It looks liiiiike Victini kinda? Maybe like part Psychic/Fire, or can be gotten with the help of Victini...?

Or Flying/Fighting. :x

hughes February 11th, 2013 8:18 PM

It's so cute! I think it's a normal type, but I couldn't guess how it would evolve.

Miss Doronjo February 11th, 2013 8:19 PM

I do wonder what "Ninfia" translates to as an eon. That'll be the key to understand it's typing.

So far, people have been betting on it being Normal. But, I'm really betting it to be Fighting... maybe.

Golurks Were Meant to Fly February 11th, 2013 8:19 PM

I'm really unsure what to think of it. I... I don't kno I think i was expecting something cooler for an eeveelution haha. But I'm gonna go with normal for this one. If it flies by ribbon power... @[email protected]

Actually that'd be kind of awesome. Maybe it evolves if you get enough ribbons from contests? It's an eevee evolving to the difficult environment of the competitive pet show world?

True. Better names than...Showers.

Anyway, that thing looks...like an awkward Victini evolution haha. It's cute though. The color scheme makes me think it's a Dragon type...

Well post from Serebii says
Quote:

Picture still unconfirmed but everything matches CoroCoro style. It's said to be 1.0m and 23kg. The evolution method is said to be a secret, as is its type
Let's take it with a grain of salt yea?

Pinkie-Dawn February 11th, 2013 8:20 PM

It's not a Dragon evolution; quit ruining your patterns, Game Freak! >: (

But wait, it says here its type is unknown, so could this mean we might get a new type after all? Could it be, dare I say it, a Light type?

Victini February 11th, 2013 8:22 PM

;w; It doesn't look that much like Victini, sheesh.

I'm gonna take a bet that it evolves through maximized beauty like Milotic. >w>

I... think that'd be interesting of a new way to get new Eeveelutions! I mean, there could be so many different "environmental" evolutions, and it having ribbons on does seem kinda strange.

Dillon_68 February 11th, 2013 8:22 PM

I think it will evolve through the supposed new bonding system.

Xander Olivieri February 11th, 2013 8:23 PM

That definately looks like a Normal Evolution for Eevee. Maybe Meowth accidentally causes Eevee to evolve into the new Normal type?

Bluerang1 February 11th, 2013 8:24 PM

It's really ugly. Wonder what it's type is. And hopefully this isn't the only news this month. The English Pokemon site should update us on it soon.
