I want to see if someone here can get it right! When the new games come out and I see what type Sylveon is, I want to be able to prove it if I'm right ^-^

I really hope we can eliminate normal, because while it looks cute, I think a normail type Eeveelution should look a little more like Eevee.
I could always be wrong.
I'm thinking Dragon. I don't know why, but the moves I see it using and it's appearance just make me think, why not?

What type do you think Sylveon is?

The moves look to me like one of many fire-type moves,Trump Card, maybe SolarBeam/Absorb, and Swift.

@univea
I am probably wrong, but I would think psychic xD

@univea I think maybe Flying or Light, the new type. Dragon is not very probable... Because if you look at the other Eeveelutions, their type shows up pretty well. And if you see fan art of Dragon type Eeveelutions, it's completely different. 😋

I'm guessing Flying c:
Just because a Pokemon is flying type doesn't mean it has to be able to fly~ 😋
[And look at its resemblance to Skyla 8D ]

The moves are kinda hard to guess, 'cuz they had to have changed the animation since it's going into 3D now.
But based on the name:
Sylveon -> Sylph -> sort of a sky spirit

Then again, Nymphali -> Nymph, which could support the rumors going around about how there is gonna be new types, one of which is Fairy. I'd rather not believe this though :I

@Univea
Poison. My friend told me about it.

@Whispers
Espeon is a Psychic type 😊

@univea

If they're gonna introduce a new type, I think it'll be that one, but if not I would say Flying type.

I would see it as normal but supposedly it's actually going to be light, as is the new deer-like pokemon, according to an interview I was listening in on, it's a new type, they are debating right now as to weather or not it will be flying as well.
