[DISCUSSION] Pokemon Sun & Moon News Thread (Will Contain Pre-Launch Spoilers)

[Eeveeli]

Going to throw it out here, i'm pretty sure we will get a new eeveelution type! (Which really hypes me ofc hahaha) why do I think this?

Weelllll let me try to explain it.



Why would they put a small Eevee in a battle against both a Krookodile and Pangoro? It seems a bit out of place and knowing that Pokemon likes to put hints in their trailers (Like with the cute dog Pokemon in the trailer before this!) i'm pretty sure we will get a new one. or they simply added the Eevee because it's easy to knock out but then again: why no magikarp or something like that am i rite

Also i'm pretty sure it will be a fighting type. First theory why I think that: It matches with Sylveon. In the past Pokemon had eeveelutions that were weak/strong against each other:

Espeon was weak against Umbreon (psychic vs dark)
Glaceon was strong against Leafeon (ice vs grass)

So it "would" make sense if the next eeveelution is actually weak/strong against fairy. Which would mean it could be either a steel, dark, fire , fighting, poison or dragon type. But we can already cross away both dark and fire because those types are already used by Umbreon and Flareon so the steel, fighting, poison and dragon types are left.

But here's where my second theory comes in why I think it will be a fighting type! As i mentioned before: Why is there an Eevee battling against a Pangoro and Krookodile? Maybe because they're both weak to fighting ?? fighting eeveelution?? Please let my theory be right because I thought way too much about this. Fighting Eeveelution please be real
