So, as we all know, there's a new Eveelution and as of the of 24th April we do not know what type it is.
So, what type is she?
Personally, I'm subscribing to the new type theory.
If you're unfamiliar with this theory, it's that a 'Fairy' type will be introduced to the game. This has a fair amount of evidence backing it up, considering that Sylveon's various names are derived from the names for fairies.
This theory also would allow for the recatergorising of a lot of normal type pokemon as 'Fairy' or 'Normal/fairy' like Clefairy and Snubbull, just like Magnemite was changed from Electric to Electric/Steel.
Two other viable theories are that Sylveon is a 'Normal' type, because there are a fair number of pink normal types, or 'Flying'.
So, what do you think Sylveon's type is? And more importantly, why?
There also one other thing to consider.
The last two times that a new eveelution has been presented, they've come in twos: Espeon and Umbreon and then Leafon and Glaceon. And in both of those cases, one has a type advantage against the other.
So, what are we going to be thinking about for the other eveelution, if there is indeed going to be one? And what might this tell us about Sylveon?
