Sylveon (Japanese: ニンフィア, Hepburn: Ninfia/Nymphia) is a Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI. It is one of the eight possible evolutions for Eevee.
Biology
Physiology
Sylveon is a quadruped mammalian Pokémon with white-cream colored fur covering most of its slender body. The top of its head is a vibrant shade of pink, and it has long pink rabbit-like ears with dark blue insides. Sylveon has a short, blunt cat-like muzzle and a small black nose. Sylveon has two pink and white bow-shaped features -- one on its right ear, and one around its and neck. Attached to the bow-like features are scarf-like appendages with pink and blue tips that curl around Sylveon's body. It has four slender vulpine-like legs and small dainty pink-tipped paws and feet with three visible toes on each. Sylveon has two large blue eyes with white pupils, and two pointed teeth on its upper jaw, seen when its mouth is open. It has a fluffy pink tail that curves inward slightly to form a crescent shape, similar to a dog.
The Shiny variation of Sylveon has inverse coloration, with blue fur (replacing the pink patches), and reddish-pink eyes.
Behavior
Sylveon is a kind and gentle Pokémon. It uses its ribbon-like feelers to hold hands with its trainer and walk alongside them. It can stop the heat of battle by moving its ribbon-like feelers in a way that charms it's opponents into not having the spirit to fight anymore. Its movements are graceful and fluid, making it appear almost weightless.
Special abilities
Sylveon can possess the Ability Cute Charm, which may cause infatuation in the opposing Pokemon if it physically attacks it. In Dream World, it may have the Ability Pixelate, which turns all Normal-type moves used by the Pokemon into Fairy-type moves.
Evolution
Eevee evolves into Sylveon when leveled up knowing a Fairy-type move, and gaining at least two Affection hearts in Pokémon-Amie.
Anime
Sylveon first appeared in the short film PK25.
Sylveon also appeared Kindergarten Chaos! which belonged to a woman named Penelope. In the episode, it battles against Ash's Froakie in which it wins after using the move Draining Kiss on Froakie, who had already been hit by Attract earlier in the battle. Sylveon, along with Pikachu, is later captured by Team Rocket and rescued by Ash and Randell. It was last seen with its trainer waving goodbye to Ash and his friends.
TCG
Sylveon appears in the Pokemon TCG: Sylveon Colection as a promo card (XY 04) & a collectible figure.

Trivia
- Sylveon's classification of species as an "Intertwining Pokémon" is almost the same as the red thread that holds two or more person's relationship. Hence, its ribbons serves the same purpose. Based on its Pokémon X's PokéDex's data, it uses its "ribbons" to create peace amongst fighters and serves as their 'mediator'.
- It is the lightest Eeveelution.
- Sylveon is the first Fairy-type Pokémon known.
Origin
Like all Eeveelutions, Sylveon is based on various mammalian creatures such as vulpine, feline, and canines alike. Its traits are most similar to a cat's or feline's, but has rabbit-like ears and a tail similar to a dog or lynx. It's appearance is inspired by a fairy or nymphs.
Etymology
Sylveon's name likely comes from the word "sylvan" meaning "of the forest", due to legends of fairies residing in forests, and "eon". It might also include "sylph" a mythological spirit of the air.
It's Japanese name "Nymphia", (translated from "Ninfia") is based off from the nymph.
