Fans Speculate on New Evolution

Pokémon fans believe a brand new evolutionary line for Eevee may be on the horizon, fueled by an ongoing celebration hosted by The Pokémon Company.

The “Year of Eevee”

2025 has been officially designated the “Year of Eevee.” Since January, The Pokémon Company has centered its merchandise and promotions around Eevee, featuring new plush toys, models, and exclusive discounts on the official Pokémon Center website.

Fan Theories and Hopes

The speculation extends beyond merchandise. Fans on platforms like the r/pokemon subreddit theorize this extensive promotion could be building up to a significant in-game reveal, possibly a new Eevee evolution (often called an “Eeveelution”) in an upcoming Pokémon title.

“Could be possible. The last Eeveelution we got was Sylveon in X/Y, and not only are we returning to Kalos later this year but I’ve always felt that (like a lot of things in X/Y) Sylveon was kinda missing something,” commented user NerdbyanyotherName.
“I want a regional Eevee that does a physical set of evolutions. Also, please help Flareon, he’s not okay,” replied user jibbyjackjoe.
The Big Question: What Type?

The core question remains: if a new Eeveelution is introduced—potentially in games like the upcoming *Pokémon Legends: Z-A*—what Pokémon type would it be? Suggestions among fans and commentators range from a Flying-type to a Fighting-type Eevee.
