From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Sylveon (Japanese: ニンフィア Nymphia) is a Fairy-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Eevee when leveled up knowing a Fairy-type move and has at least two Affection hearts in Pokémon-Amie. It is one of Eevee's final forms, the others being Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon.
Biology
Sylveon is a mammalian Pokémon covered primarily in pale cream-colored fur with pinkish feet, ears, and tail. There are two bows on it, one on its left ear and one around its neck, from which two feelers adorn it. The bows are pale cream with pinkish centers, while the feelers are pale cream with pinkish and blue tips. It sends a soothing aura from these feelers to calm fights. It has four short legs with three visible toes on each foot. Its eyes are blue with white pupils and no visible sclera.

Trivia
- According to a Ken Sugimori interview with Famitsu, Sylveon was designed by Atsuko Nishida.
- Sylveon is the lightest Eeveelution.
- Sylveon is the only new evolved form for an existing Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.
- Despite its name and feminine appearance, Sylveon retains the same gender ratio of seven males to one female as Eevee and its other evolutions.
Origin
Like many of the Eeveelutions, Sylveon shares characteristics of foxes, dogs and cats. It is more closely based on a fennec fox.
Name origin
Sylveon may be a combination of sylph, a mythological creature described as invisible beings of the air 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, a deity existing in Greek Mythology associated with a particular location or landform.
