Huh. Well they were already bringing back Charizard for the anime based on it's newest opening (which was actually surprisingly cool looking) had him showing up to fight Reshiram.

Oh that picture is a tease.  It says "Type: " right on it

Looks like the Japanese name is Ninfia. 

The ribbon-like things coming off of it remind me of Milotic, but we've already got a water Eevee.  Or maybe they're kind of Mienshao-ish?

So, types without an Eeveelution:  Normal, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Steel

Normal, Fighting, Flying, Ghost, and Dragon seem to be the most likely candidates to me, based on looks. 

Although, the Eeveelutions do tend to look a lot like the type they're supposed to be.  Color- and feature-wise.  So I'm betting Normal, as the other types would likely be other colors, or have more distinctive features (wings/feathers, ectoplasm, scales, etc.)

Someone over on the Smogon discussion thread brought up a good point:



The Eeveelutions match up to their pre-gen-4 type colors, for the most part. Leafeon is more beige, but is still in the green color group and covered in leaves. The red and blue on the ribbons look a lot like the red and blue of the Dragon icon. Dragon is also the only pre-gen-4 Special type left to make an Eeveelution for. Also, if you look at the CoroCoro page, the name Ninfia (ニンフィア) is written in giant font in the exact color scheme of that icon.

That's not a bad point, I'd just think that it would look more ... dragon-y at first glance. 

Jolteon - looks electric and yellow
Vaporeon - webbed features, tail, is blue
Flareon - looks flame-y, is red
Umbreon - looks dark
Espeon - looks kind of alien-ish, purple = psychic?  O_o
Leafeon - leaf features, is green
Glaceon - ice colored, can't remember anything else off the top of my head

Ninfia - mostly off-white and mauve, with some light blue parts, looks like it is decorated with two bows that have long streamers, some large furry ears and a non-bushy tail.  Nothing that really screams (or even hints) dragon typing to me. 

Out of the types we don't have an Eeveelution for, it seems to fit normal the best and maybe ghost as a bit of a stretch.  Also, isn't the +normal damage held item a pink ribbon?  I think that's also making me feel this one could be normal typed as well.

I dunno, that picture actually makes me think of something totally different.

At a glance, I'm pretty positive it'll be Normal. If not, I'll be disappointed in their design choices.
I mean, pink and cutesy with bows on it? 100% Normal type motif.
See: Clefairy, Jigglypuff, Chansey, Skitty, Snubbull, Audino, all their associated evos...

Why they'd make a Normal type Eeveelution when Eevee's already Normal, I have no idea. If it's a Dragon type it'll be a terribly wasted opportunity though.

[Alkhemia]

I hope it a new type we are do for a new one the last one was forever ago.

Eevee doesn't need a normal type evolution, its already normal type.

[Furtuka]

Maybe it's extra extra normal?

[Sonlirain]

Maybe it's extra extra normal?

Paranormal?
Subernormal?

My predictions are as follow:

1 - Any of the currently unused elemental types.
2 - Normal 2.0.

Anyway... didn't Evee suck no matter what evolution it took anyway?

[Aklyon]

You know, if its actually dual normal/normal type, I'd take that. Thats about as silly as eevee is sometimes.

[Sirus]

My impression was that some of them were more useful than others (Jolteon and Espeon being the two that come to mind as being "good"), and in any case an Eevee-lution was useful for filling out any type weaknesses on your team.

[Korbac]

Is an entire team of Eeveelutions viable?
