Trivia

• Sylveon is the lightest Eeveelution.
• Sylveon is the only new evolved form for an existing Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Origin

Name origin

Sylveon may be a combination of sylph and eon (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). Eon is a suffix all Eevee evolutions share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Nymphia is derived from nymph.
