Today’s Pokerumors come from the folks over at Pokebeach, who allegedly have an inside source that is privy to Pokemon X and Y information. Reportedly, the author received these rumors (in addition to many more that he has not seen fit to post as of yet) from a supposed insider. Taking the rumors with a grain of salt, he held them close to the chest until recently, when a few of the rumors were confirmed.

Thus, he has now seen fit to bring these rumors to light. Bear in mind that these rumors are still not confirmed and should be taken with an ample dosage of salt. So, let us begin.

Firstly, the mysterious Sylveon will supposedly be the first of a new type of Pokemon: the Fairy type. This type will be weak against Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, Fighting, and Fire, and Psychic-types will take one half damage. Previous Pokemon will be reclassified to the Fairy type; the example given is Mawile, which will become Steel/Fairy type.

Here’s the whole rundown of rumors:

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.

The Starter final evolutions are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Dark, and Water/Fighting.

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 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.

The author has also received English Pokemon names and much more, but has decided to withhold that information until the source’s credibility is further proven.

Adding to that list, the author discovered a possible clue to the names of Mewtwo’s new forme(s); this link to Mewtwo’s new forme concludes with “M2x”, while the link to the original Mewtwo’s information ends in “M2”. Could M2x mean that Mewtwo’s new formes are Mewtwo X and Mewtwo Y? I suppose that could make sense; each forme could be exclusive to its respective game. We’ll just have to wait and see!

So, which of these rumors did you find intriguing? Personally, I’m looking to seeing the Flying battle style; perhaps it’ll be some sort of fast-paced aerial knockout fight. The rumor about dual-type attacks is also pretty interesting, but what’s really exciting is that we supposedly won’t have another Fire/Fighting starter!
