Fairy type, Didn't planswalker say a lot of stuff about Normal type and his pants?
... yes I did.

and my poor pantsatar will now have to be murdered. :(

Have we had official explicit confirmation that Sylveon is? If not, I'll hold out until there is. If so, well... Sorry pantsatar.

Yea, the trailer explicitly states Sylveon as one of the four confirmed fairy types.
(The other three being Jigglypuff, Marill, and Gardevoir.)

Pretty sure Clefairy at the very least will gain fairy typing, and everyone freaking out about it needs to calm the hell down. Chansey line might pick it up also, which would actually potentially be a huge nerf to them (as right now Chansey line can pretty much eat any attack that isn't Fighting type. Suddenly it will have to watch for poison, rock, and who knows what else.) Snubble will also probably get it being the 'fairy' pokemon.

Guesses for others that might be:
Mr.Mime line
New Mewtwo form
Togepi line (replacing normal type)
Some of the Pikachu knockoffs? (Minun/pacharisu)
Skitty?
Uxie trio
Meloetta (Potentially adding a third form even perhaps)


Also I'm going to guess that the X legend will be grass/fairy and the Y will be dragon/....something. Either dragon/flying or dragon/psychic.


Yay speculation. Other thoughts of what might be?

Fairy is confirmed as weak to Poison and Steel. So it's almost a buff to Blissey, as nobody uses those moves for offense, and most of them are weak as heck (Poison) or inaccurate/Special (Steel). Blissey isn't getting dethroned as the queen of walls any time soon.

No, that's technically pure speculation.
In fact, the only evidence we have so far is Pokemon Smash, in which sylveon gets beat up by a wrestler (weak to fighting), breaks a block of ice (strong against ice), and is weak to a poisonous gas.

The rumors say that it's also weak to steel (as well as dark supposedly), but we don't actually have evidence of such.

And with the rise of an anti-dragon type, you can expect a large amount of poison fairy counters, which could mean bad news for Blissey.

a crustacean that looks like a blue shrimp using a water type attack

; and a flying type with a pattern that makes me think it's Fletchling's evo, and fire/flying
Spoiler: click to toggle
. Also pretty much confirmed that Sky Battles are a thing, as well as potentially one vs many battles

Not tobig on the appearance of the potential fletchling evo, but its a poor picture so i should hold off judgrment. The flying/dragon looks cool to me. And the potential one v many battles have me waiting in anticipation

Hmmm, maybe its just the graphics of the pics, but I don't really feel enthused about any of those guys. Especially the hollow eyed bug and the seahorse. Kind of disappointing, because I really like a lot of Gen 5. Still, I'll wait for the official photos/designs before passing judgement.
