On February 14, an eighth evolution of Evoli was revealed in the March issue of CoroCoro Comic (read: A New Eeveelution: Ninfia!). This new Pokémon is named Sylveon.

How to obtain it has still not been revealed…
Quick access:
Introducing Sylveon
Called Ninfia (ニンフィア) in Japanese and Sylveon in English, this new fluffball is predominantly pale pink, with ribbons and more ribbons swirling around it. At one meter tall and 23.5 kg, it is probably the lightest of its siblings. It? There is no way to be sure.
Indeed, many details suggest that Sylveon will be exclusively female. To begin with, Sylveon’s name comes etymologically from nymph, the name of exclusively female spirits in ancient Greek mythology. Moreover, this Pokémon was announced on February 14, Valentine’s Day.

A Fairy type
Sylveon’s type was the subject of much speculation. People thought of the Normal type or even the Flying type, some seeing a link between its colors and those of Skyla, a Gym Leader from the Unova region.
But apparently the fans had gone too far: the type finally given to Sylveon is one that had also been the subject of rumors for several months. This eighth evolution of Eevee will indeed be pure Fairy type, a new type introduced in these new versions.

An appearance in the upcoming short film
Finally, note that this Pokémon will be in the spotlight in the short film shown alongside the 16th movie: “Pikachu and Eevee and Friends“! It will be joined there by the other evolved forms of Evoli.
Both will be released in movie theaters in Japan on July 13!

As with its fellow sixth-generation Pokémon, little information has leaked and the next announcements are eagerly awaited. Remember that you can still speculate in the Pokémon X and Y topic on the Pokémon-France Forums!
