I wonder if Smash will reveal the typing tomorrow? They heavily hinted at the Eeveelutuons for next weeks preview (last week) and with CoroCoro being the first to reveal Sylveon, they could just give us a little more infomation..

Its a large shot in the dark for that. Doesn't really seem to make sense that they reveal it on the 15th and build up the Secret Hype only to reveal it two days later like that. They may keep it a Secret until June/July when the movie airs to keep from possibly spoiling a small part of the movie.

Waiting till June or July to reveal Sylveon's type is far too long in my opinion. It's just too much hype over one new Pokémon's type, and at that point I don't think many people will even care as much. Plus, it'll only lead to disappointment if it's anything but a new type altogether. It would be like someone saying, "I waited that long for something I pretty much already guessed was going to happen?"

Next month's issue of CoroCoro is said to have more details on Sylveon, I believe that's when they might reveal what type it will be. Revealing it by the time of the new movie's release just seems too long of a stretch to me, but we'll see...

Well, yeah, there had to be a reason why Sylveon's type was kept secret; it can possibly be a new type. Thennnn again this IS gamefreak, and they can find this imaginative speculations enjoyable, and *poof* Sylveon becomes a Normal type. The ultimate troll move. Not that I wouldn't mind, but who knows what they have up their sleeves.

So yeah, I guess our answers will be answered at the next edition of Corocoro. If the next Corocoro doesn't tell how Eevee evolves, then there's always the short that can tell us.

The latest they'll leave it is next month, it's something that can be easily forgotten within two months. If not this month then I'd say the next Issue of CoroCoro will have further details including Sylveon's typing.

After the name "Sylveon" was announced, it made me want to search which word begins with "sylv". Then I saw this post, and it matched it perfectly!

You know what? I was thinking Light-type was going to become it's type, but then I realized that since it's name is based off the word "sylvania" which mean the trees and forests... it could still get a new type that relates to it's name. How about Natural-type? Not to be confused with "Grass-type" which does actually refer to nature, but there's more to nature than just plants. Nature consists of lighting, animals, plants, water, wind and pretty much anything that isn't man-made.

But even so, I could still be sticking to Light-type, but there's definitely a chance it could be Natural-type. So either one or the other. Also, on the Japanese Pokémon website, did anyone notice the typing below Sylveon saying "??? type" with the box as a bright pink colour? I know there's another type that has the colour pink... which is Psychic-type but Psychic-type has a darker pink to this one. And also... in nature, some flowers can be bright pink which could also mean it could be Natural-type.

But also, light is also natural and could also fit into the "Forests and trees" meaning, since light fills the forest during the day and the plants photosynthesize. So there's still a chance it could be a Light-type. ;)

But we'll see what the new type will be in the next CoroCoro.

Perhaps the Light type will be called Natural type in Japanese and Light in the english speaking nations much like how Dark is called Evil type in Japanese, however it's more like trickery than real evil.

The legendary pokemon haven't had their types revealed either. Sylveon isn't alone.

So if you're using this logic than the two legendary pokemon must be new types too.

I remember this same debate raging when Rerisham and Zekrom were revealed. their types were ??? as well, for months, until they were revealed. people thought they were gonna be new types, but nope, electric dragon and fire dragon. the same will happen here. not being told yet means nothing.

I highly HIGHLY doubt there will be a new type added. i will eat my hat if there is. For me, the Sylveon name comes from Sylph, which is a spirit of the air depicted in the mythology of europe (where this new land is supposedly based). They are usually seen as elegant and feminine, and linked to fairies. Sylveon is gonna be flying type, i tell you now!

Why not? That can also be a possibility. We won't know for sure until they're actually revealed.

If we just let things be, then maybe we can be genuinely excited over whatever we get C_c

With that being said, I've come to a solemn conclusion that Yvetal's typing will be Dark/Flying and Xermnas is still a mystery. If I'm wrong, oh well.

As for Sylveon, well, if it's Flying/Bug/Dragon/Love/Light/Aether, I'll still love it.

Not true. Reshiram/Zekrom typing was hidden and revealed a few weeks later, with no mention at all in CoroCoro or on the sites to what there type is and why its a mystery, and here ,well, we do. They want us to get excited for the type, and I doubt its so they can throw us a normal eevee curveball.

Zekrom and Reshiram were revealed in Coro Coro. Daisuke Club revealed the next day that they were both Dragons. Two days later rumor about Zekrom being Electric appears on a VA's blog.

It was actually a handful of days after release that their types were confirmed.

There is still a big difference between this and Sylveon. Sylveon plays an important role in the Mini Movie and Its Type as well as Evolution Method can be seen as spoilers for the movie. Which stands to reason, they'd hold back this info until closer to the movie if not revealing it during the movie. Evolution Method most likely won't be shown until then cause that's a heavy spoiler. Type can be a minor spoiler.

Sylveon is in the short though so I don't see the big deal is spoiling a short, unless it's also in the main movie...

While the correction is fine, are you arguing with what I said? I'm asking cause we're basically saying the same thing, that Sylveon is widely different, and possibly is exactly what we're expecting, a Pokemon to introduce a new type.

Judging by the moves used in the short video featuring the new Eeveelution, it looks like a Normal type. I mean, Swift is a Normal type move.

However, those bows on its head look a bit like butterflies, so perhaps a Bug type would be a possibility. However, the look of it is just so vague that it has to fit with the other Normal types.

All Eevee Evolutions can learn Trump Card and Swift though.

All bows when drawn look like butterfly wings. Its a specific name for those types. Even the contest ribbons that were bow like had the butterfly wing look. It being Bug type is pretty out there.

I looked back a couple pages and saw the whole Love type discussion. A Love type would certainly make sense. I mean come on, this game is gonna be set in somewhere like Paris, right? What is the nickname for Paris? The City of LOVE. Even if there isn't a new Love type, this game is DEFINITELY going to be centered around Love.

I think it might be a posion type rather than a fully bug type.

It'll be a shocker if it were poison. The best chances are it's Normal, Flying, Dragon (this is only due to dragon being the only formerspecial type left and it's color scheme), or a new type.

In the image where all the Eeveelutions can be seen, if you look at it clockwise, they all are strong against their matching diagonal pokémon, so, for Flareon>Glaceon, Umbreon>Espeon, Leafeon>Vaporeon, and taking this into account, Jolteon>Sylveon... Meaning it's a Flying type.

It's a small coincidence, but also, it could be the biggest clue (besides the bows *flying* against the wind, and that it is the lightest eeveelution, and its name being related to fairy/wind creatures) about its typing.

That could also lead to the conclusion that there will only be 1 eeveelution added, to "balance" things out.
