Fairy type being immune AND super effective against Dragon, plus SE against Dark and Fighting, and on top of that, weak only to the most unused offensive types? Hell! That is way too broken, even more so than Psychic was in Gen I. That's enough for me to not believe on that rumour.
Also, if these was true, then Sylveon couldn't be Fairy either, making the rumour self-contradictory (since, according to the new type's description, Sylveon could not be Fairy, so either the rumour is a lie or either there's going to be more than one new type and Sylveon wolud be of the other new type). Furthermore, on a personal view, I'd hate double typed attacks and I doubt Mewtwo is getting a second new forme and that the starters secondary types will be Dark/Psychic/Fighing (even if I'd love that to happen).
But still, if the only hints we have are that Sylveon was said to be 'strong' against Ice, but is not Steel nor Fighting (and by virtue of previous eeveelutions, it is unlikely that it is Fire), we had the following possible scenarios, in decreasing order of plausibility:
[...]
2) The type chart is indeed being changed like in Gen II.
3) Game Freak is trolling us and Sylveon is Rock type.
4) Game Freak just pulled us the trolling of our lives and Sylveon's type is one of the other remaining old types (Normal, Bug, Dragon. Ground or Flying) and can learn naturally (that is, via level-up, no TM/HM's required) either Fire, Rock or Steel moves, hence it is effectively strong against Ice (note that according to the report, it was said that SILVEON, not Sylveon's typing, is strong to Ice, so they might be playing with words on their favor).
That's fake. It was posted in April.Rainy Day said:So is this Newtwo's second forme?
Well, Elikiteru is based on a solar dish as well (a parabolic solar dish, as he's got a parabola head), so, while he sunbathes, he also powers up with electrical energy.
This would also explain his attack, Parabola Charge.
Sylveon's advantage over Ice doesn't suggest that the type is Fairy. Everything is possible with a new type, but I'd like to believe that Game Freak would only give Ice a fifth weakness if it made sense.
I think that the advantage would be justified if said type were Aether/Astral (both could be considered as the same thing). Aether is supposed to encompass all the classical elements (including fire), and both Aether and Astral pertain to using the stars as an energy source. I would think that high temperature would be involved.

How so, exactly? Sylveon looks every bit what I imagine a Fairy type would look like.
What report? Have I missed something?
If they revealed four Pokémon every month, we'd only know about 30 Pokémon before the release. The number was 31 in Generation IV's case.Does anyone think this Generation might have a fairly large amount of Pokemon despite being what we thought was the smaller, even-Gen?
The fact they're revealing four New Pokemon already, when this issue typically is light on New Pokemon in past pre-releases, is pretty interesting. I mean, we've got 10 Pokemon already, and we're bound to get more next month I'd reckon.
Goat doesn't evolve from or into anything
You missunderstand me, let me reword that part. I never said it didn't look like a fairy, I said that the rumor has no sense: according to it, Fairy does neutral damage to Ice, whereas on Smash, they said Sylveon (and pressumably, its type) is super effecive against Ice, which doesn't correlate with the info that rumor supposedly revealed about the Fairy type, so either the rumour is false (as it doesn't correspond to what we saw today on Smash) or Sylveon is not Fairy (but that would mean that there's another new type, seeing that the current types don't fit in what was evealed today about its type).
Also, regardless of what Sylveon becomes, I'm a bit bitter about Ice getting another weakness.
