Sylveon is the newest addition to the Eeveelution squad! Sylveon is a very powerful mono-Fairy-Type Pokemon with access to an amazing ability Pixilate, it gives all Normal-Type attacks a 20% damage boost and changes them to Fairy-Type attacks which is HUGE. Changing attacks to Fairy gives us the STAB boost which is a 1.5x multiplier. This essentially gives us a natural boost of 20% and 50% before held-item, which gives us another boost! You have a choice between 3 powerful hold-items being Pixie Plate, Throat Spray, and Choice Specs which all give a great damage boost. Pixie Plate gives us a constant 1.2x multiplier on Fairy attacks, Throat spray gives us one SP. ATK stat boost after using Hyper Voice, and Choice Specs gives us a 1.5x damage multiplier but locks you into the first attack used. So you really get to pick whatever play style suits you! Sylveon has an amazing SP. ATK stat and decent bulk with rather low speed. Overall this Pokemon can fit onto a lot of teams as a powerful special sweeper.
