Fairy Type in Pokemon 3D?

[Noah★]

Hi I was just curious about the extent of the Fairy Type in Pokemon 3D. I'd really like to catch a Fairy Type Pokemon so I have a few questions.

Which fairy-types are in-game right now?
What are the type matchups for the Fairy Type?
Which Fairy Type moves are there?

Someone from Pokebeach.com made a lot of predictions (from a 'inside source') about Pokemon X and Y--all of them have been confirmed true. These predictions have been from info about the Fairy Type, to how certain things like Pancham evolves into Pangoro, to specific gym leaders, to English names like Inkay and Malimar. Point being, all of the predictions have been true and I'm assuming his predictions about type matchups for the Fairy Type will also be true.

Pokebeach has info from this supposed leak that the Fairy Type will be super effective against Dragon (we already knew this), Dark, and Fighting. It will be weak to Poison and Steel. And Fire and Psychic types will resist the Fairy Type.

Just wondering if the game will follow this or if the devs have something else in mind.

Yes, there are a couple of Fairy-types in the game, just check Bulbapedia and see which gen 1-2 Pokémon are Fairies! Ofcourse, we do have Sylveon but no known way of evolving it from an Eevee.
The confirmed Fairy moves like Fairy Wind and Moon Blast are in the game. (These are the only 2 at the moment.)

Because Type-advantages weren't known yet when Nilllzz implemented the Fairy-types, Fairy-types are only weak to poison at the moment. (Hehe, lucky guess!)

Marill is water/fairy, Jiggly is normal/fairy, etc. Fairy will be the secondary type on the older Pokémon.

Whether we'll go off on predictions or confirmed stuff depends on Nilllzz or one of the Mods/Staff suggested to do it like this.

At the moment the type advatages listed on the page you linked arent confirmed.
The "inside source" may be reliable but we cannot be sure until the official type match ups are released or the game comes out.
ATM Poison types are super effective against fairy types and Fairy types are super effective against Dragon and Ice types but Poison and Ice type are just random speculation that we made and we wont change it until the official type chart is released

Wow that is a lucky guess! I'm excited to know that Sylveon is in the game. Does anyone have a pic of its sprite? I'm assuming that normal players can't actually get Sylveon and that its an event Pokemon.

ATM there are 4 legal copies in the game
the person who made the sprites: Anvil555
And three people who won it in a competition(MrHippocrit is one)

 

[Noah★]

Awesome! I'd love to try to win one myself now Are the competitions at random?

I did those comps the day after the most recent version came out
I will do other such comps every so often
but not for sylveon
I might do another sylveon in a month or so?
