The Pokemon community is crazily dreaming up ideas for the series’ upcoming 3DS titles, X and Y, yet a certain ‘genuine’ source believes he’s got the insight into what we can expect from the hyped up games. Apparently, the new Eevee evolution, Sylveon, will be classified as a new Fairy-type Pokemon and will be immune to Dragon-types but weak against Poison and Steel-types. You can read all the details below but take all this info as a grain of salt for now until official word is announced.

  •  Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.
  • Sylveon is Fairy-type. Some older Pokemon will be reclassified to Fairy, such as Mawile (Steel/Fairy).
  • Mewtwo has two new formes, not just one. Both are activated via items.
  • The professor’s English name is Patrice.
  • The Starter final evolutions are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Fighting, and Water/Dark.
  • The first Gym is Bug, the second is Fairy, and the fourth is Fighting.
  • A few attacks will be dual-typed.
  • There will be a new type of battling style that Flying-type Pokemon and Pokemon with Levitate can participate in.
  • You will be able to see a Pokemon’s EVs at a certain in-game facility. You will be able to boost the EVs through mini-games. It will take about two hours to get one stat to max EVs.
