[30 / 4 / ?]
Let's do some well reasoned theorizing on the potential new eevee forms, so far we have>Normal-Eevee >Fire-Flareon >Water-Vaporeon >Electric-Jolteon >Psychic-Espeon >Dark-Umbreon >Grass-Leafeon >Ice-Glaceon >Fairy-Sylveon This cover most all of the elemental typings, which has been the trend with past eeveelutions, the only remaining types are>Ground-kind of boring, so unlikely >Rock-similar issues to ground >Steel-It would be interesting, and fits the sword/shield motif, as well as acting as a counter to the newest fairy type >Bug-would be interesting, but it isn't a popular enough type for most people >Poison-sort of fits the elemental theme, and would act as a good fairy counter for sylveon and other new fairy types >Ghost-would be cool as hell, but probably won't happen, but they might go for an skull motif/umbreon vibe with it >Flying-I personally would love this, but I doubt it will happen >Fighting-too close to normal in style, so not too likely >Dragon-This would be a fan favourite and would fit in with the medieval theme, much like the steel type This is strictly an opinion and curiousity piece, post wild theories and fake leaks below

>>37858165 My money's on fighting and steel since the gimmick of this gen is offense/defense and both typings are good for that

I'm hoping for Dragon and Steel, to make a trio with Sylveon.

>>37858165 I'm feeling steel and ghost. Steel because it fits the industrial theme going on this gen and ghost because of black dog/church grim connotations that can be made with the evolution.

>>37858165 Leafeon/Glaceon were gen 4, sylveon was gen 6, and now we are at gen 8. They skipped last generation so my money is on 1-2 new eevees this time around, it would help sell fan girls on the switch as well, bitches love eevee

I guess steel and/or ghost if the story takes a heavy focus on the past, knights, kingdoms, etc. But i dunno, that may be too logical for GF.

>>37858313 So far most people are guessing steel with ghost or dragon being a likely second, so I am liking their odds

>>37858181 I'm always disinclined towards fighting because I struggle to see a fighting-type that doesn't walk upright.
Steel and Ghost seem the most plausible.

>>37858838 Well, assuming armor evolution ends up actually being a thing, I could see it as a way for them to still only introduce 1 fever, have it be a special type, and also have it show off a new mechanic by slapping a knight helmet on it

>>37858165 Dragon only. It fits the region and works as a Sylveon counterpart. In fact I bet Sylveon was introduced on its own so they could stretch out the eevees just a bit longer. But eevees are only special types. Fairy would be special type if it was introduced before they got rid of the physical/special split.

>>37858979 >only special types That's right, so the only real candidates are Ghost/Poison/Dragon, and both dragon and poison would match with sylveon. Doubly so if they get a steel gimmick evolution.
Steel/dragon contends with fairy and poison/dragon DESTROYS it

The best contenders and bug, ghost, poison, dragon, and steel. Given what OP said, Dragon and Steel seem the most likely imho. And they BOTH work thematically in conjunction with Sylveon.

>>37859047 The general consensus seems to be poison/steel/dragon, and that it relates to sylveon. I like these odds so far
