Top 10 Things You Didn't Know about Sylveon

The Top Ten

  1. There is a Galarian myth about Sylveon slaying a Dragon-type Pokémon

    This is pretty interesting, but not surprising when you take into consideration the fact that Fairy types are strong against Dragon types.

  2. Sylveon may actually be the deadliest Eeveelution

    Think about it. It can calm you down extremely quickly, making you not want to fight back, and then strike.

  3. Sylveon will charge at Dragon-type Pokémon if they're in a fight, no matter the size

    This is surprising since Sylveon are very peaceful.

  4. Sylveon is the lightest Eeveelution

    Maybe because of the idea that it's a Fairy type and is light as a tiny fairy?

  5. The first part of Sylveon is likely based on the word "sylph," an air elemental associated with fairies

    I mean, it's a Fairy type.

  6. Sylveon is the only Eeveelution that doesn't evolve with an item in any game

    Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon all need stones.

    Leafeon and Glaceon also need special stones, although this was added in later games.

    Espeon and Umbreon needed a Sun or Moon Shard (respectively) to evolve in one game, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

  7. Sylveon may be based on the moon rabbit or its owner Chang'e in Chinese myths

    Another fairy idea, I guess.

  8. Sylveon would rather have peace and can stop fights instantly with its abilities

    This is pretty cool.

  9. The German name of Sylveon, Feelinara, comes from the word "feel"

    I love this fact, as it shows the differences between languages.

  10. People expected Sylveon to be a Bug type because of its feelers

    I totally get that. "Feelers" just screams Bug type to me.
