PJ’s Note: We investigated the source of the rumors and it appears to be someone attending DigiPen, a college focused on game design in Washington state near Nintendo’s Headquarters. They claim to have played a beta version of the game.
- Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.
- Sylveon is Fairy-type. Some older Pokemon will be reclassified to Fairy, such as Mawile (Steel/Fairy).
- Mewtwo has two new formes, not just one. Both are activated via items.
- The professor’s English name is Patrice. (PJ’s Note: Although it’s not the name of a tree, it is a masculine French name and sounds kind of like PA-TREE-SS)
- The Starter final evolutions are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Fighting, and Water/Dark.
- The first Gym is Bug, the second is Fairy, and the fourth is Fighting.
- A few attacks will be dual-typed.
- There will be a new type of battling style, “Sky Battles”, that Flying-type Pokemon and Pokemon with Levitate can participate in.
- You will be able to see a Pokemon’s EVs at a certain in-game facility. You will be able to boost the EVs through mini-games. It will take about two hours to get one stat to max EVs.
- ====Updates Below=====
- New move: Belch a Poison-type attack with a base power of 120 but can only be performed if the user is holding a berry and the attack consumes said berry
- New move: Draining Kiss a Fairy-type attack which has a base power of 60 and heals user for the same amount that it damages the enemy for
Pokébeach tells us to be aware of this information, though also he warns to take it with a pinch of salt. He is being kind enough to share this despite risking losing credit if it is false, which is quite respectable in my opinion. After all, we here at PokéJungle also share anything that comes our way, so that we can all discuss its legitimacy together, instead of just one person at the top making all the decisions. I think Pokébeach taking this stance is a credit to the fans.
The only issue is that Pokémon Smash has suggested that Sylveon’s type is effective against Ice, which would clash with Pokébeach’s source. If this information is to be believed, then Smash’s last Eevee-Akiyama friends special does not necessarily reflect what Sylveon’s type is, but rather was relevant to Shokotan’s own abilities instead. Sounds like a bit of a longshot, but it’s the only way the rumour would still work.
One thing for sure though, even if this info is false and Smash’s Eevee Friends Special is instead to be taken seriously, then we are still probably dealing with a new type. Sylveon-Nakagawa was weak against poison, and the only Types that exist that are weak against poison is grass or bug (Gen I), and it definitely can’t be the former.
Do you think this info is true, false? If you think it’s true, why? If you think it’s false, do you still think there is a chance for Fairy? Let us know below!

Eh, I’m taking this as a grain of salt. To be honest, I think Mewtwo’s only gonna get one form. The website has both big hexagons filled, and it’s not right that they wouldn’t show both his new forms together at the same time. I believe when they revealed Kyurem’s new forms they showed them both at the same time on the main website. Since there’s only one new form on the main website as of now, I believe that’s the only one we’re getting. I could be proved wrong, but that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.
the filename the current formes picture has on the official website is M2X.png
surely the x is coincidentally one of the 2 version titles, right?
…add that the “masculine”-sounding mewtwo from movie1 still hasnt shown up and you can see where this is going.
Well, there might be only one Mewtwo still. As far as I know there’s only one in the anime. Sure that’s coincidence, but that’s just it. It could just be pure coincidence. If they’re not advertising the rumored 2nd form change already, then there’s probably not gonna be one.
EDIT: And it seems I am right. There is actually only one Mewtwo in the anime.
Yeah, the movie site suggests this is the same Mewtwo from the first movie. The voice change is still a mystery, and it may simply be an attempt to give Mewtwo a “new image” like they said on the Japanese movie site.
I was paying attention until I read the Psy/Fight/Dark part. I’m tired of it lol. Its a fanmade overhyped idea and nothing more.
I really don’t see Froakie becoming a Dark type, based on the description we got from Corocoro on him. Unless he suddenly turns evil or something. Dunno
I read somewhere that Froakie resembles Japanese thiefs with its bubbles on its neck being thief bag. http://i.imgur.com/3RDxGo0.jpg
Huh, interesting. I guess it could rob buildings since it can jump to the 3rd floor of a building. Hmm…it could use foam as a disguise.
But it doesn’t match fan speculation. The combinations don’t make up for weakness against each other like suggested.
Oh, Christ, this is SO Fan-servicy.
“You will be able to see a Pokemon’s EVs at a certain in-game facility.” “Fairy is weak against Poison.” “The Starter final evolutions are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Fighting, and Water/Dark.” “Dual-Type Attacks?”
This is crap that people request and there’s nothing to back any of it up. These rumors are made up to make people happy and give them false hope.
well, there is something that backs it up. Pokebeach said that one thing this source told him, apart from all of this info, is a new electric move that deals damage to the enemy and heals the user. and in this corocoro, it has been revealed that Erikiteru has that move. that’s why Pokebeach has revealed this info.
That’s just confirmation bias. When you make up a huge list of things, chances are at least some of them will be true simply by coincidence, and healing electric type move isn’t that out there – personally, I’ve expected one for a while.
No tree name for the Professor?
I have a cool idea for an ability. I know it’s not related but what if there was an ability that reversed the type effectivities of a Pokemon. Meaning a fighting type move would be not very effective on ice but super effective on flying. Likewise when a psychic move is used on the Pokemon with that ability it is not very effective. Since most Pokemon have two abilities in competitive battles you can’t be sure whether the Pokemon has it or not. Obviously only a few Pokemon would have the ability so if you knew which ones do then there’s a chance of guessing. What do you think?
Fairy being weak to Steel actually makes a lot of sense. It is often stated that contact with iron is dangerous to Fairy-folk.
weak to butterfly nets DUH nah being serious if ur going to give Ice more weakness it going to be more weak then bug types
I think that the whole Fairy-type thing in 99.9% IMPOSSIBLE!!! I think that Sylveon-Nakagawa was just gagging because what they put in her face smelled nasty. Anyone can choke and gag after smelling that…
The only thing I believe about PJ’s notes is the first gym leader using Bug-types.
Looks like someone should have saw the clip where Sylveon was using either Sky Attack/Brave Bird. That is what I believe I saw in that clip.
I can live with a bug eevee, hopefully that’s what it is, besides this new type talk.
the new types will be fairy and demon.
xerneas will be fairy/fighting.
yveltal will be demon/flying
the two new forms of mewtwo will be psychic/demon and psychic/fairy.
sylveon will of course be fairy type, and there will be a new demon type eeveelution to complement it.
So the fairy, bug type gym and sky battles thing was true, so does that mean everything else is too?
So far, so true.
Lol, these comments are so funny! “Fairy type isn’t real, this is such fanservice, just because he got the electric move right doesn’t mean he’ll get the rest right!” XD reading these comments when most of the leaked information has been proven true just makes me laugh, because now we get to see all the people who deserve an “I told you so!”
It’s so fun to read these comments 3 months later! 🙂
