So, checked out Pokejungle for the Smash review since I had to work for Smash...surprised no one posted this yet.
The hosts are testing which types Sylveon fits… what could it be?!
The hosts tested to see if Sylveon was Fighting – she failed.
Next they tested to see if she was strong against ice – she was!
She was strong against Ice, so they tested if she was Steel by using poison type on her – She wasn't resistant
So she's STRONG against Ice. Meaning she either SE hits Ice or is Resistant to it.
SE hits = Fighting, Fire, Steel, and Rock
Resists = Fire, Ice, Steel, Water
Ok from this we can sorta rule out three
Fire, Water, and Ice. Why? Because we already have these three.
Next, they tested her to see if she was Fighting. No. So scratch that off the list.
They tested her to see if she was Steel. She failed the poison resistance test so she is not steel.
This leaves Rock........
Ok so far Rock is the only type on the list that hasn't been tested.
Existing type wise, I severely doubt this. So she has to be a new type. But if she is a new type, what was posted earlier about her being Fairy is wrong. Or at least the basic info is incorrect. Fairy is apparently SE or Resists Ice if it exists. If she isn't Fairy she is something else.
This all ignores the possibility that they shifted the type chart around as well. So we have 3 types we know that Sylveon is not and a more solid lead on what she can possibly be.
