>>37248516There stopped being Physical and Special types in Gen 4 but that didn't stop Gamefreak from continuing the trend of Eevee only having Special types. Heck, Gen 4 also nearly finished the list by adding Grass & Ice.
Fairy could be argued as being Special if it had been added earlier since before it was added the split was 9p/8s, making an even split between the types.
Until an Eeveelution other than Dragon is added I'm not convinced that there will ever be a Physical one.
