Photos of the latest ''{{bp|CoroCoro}}'' leak have revealed the sixth new Pokémon from the upcoming ''{{bp|Pokémon X and Y}}''. The new Pokémon is named Ninfia (ニンフィア) and is an {{bp|Eeveelution|evolution}} of {{bp|Eevee}}.


Scans from the latest ''CoroCoro'' leak have revealed the sixth new Pokémon from the upcoming ''Pokémon X and Y''. The new Pokémon, Ninfia, was pictured alongside Eevee and the Eeveelutions, causing many fans to jump on the speculation bandwagon.
Ninfia is 1.0 m tall and weighs 23.5 kg. These are typically converted to 3'03" and 51.8 lbs. for English releases, respectively. Its type and Ability are currently unknown.


Ninfia, the first new Pokémon not to be in the recent ''X and Y'' trailer, was first seen as a silhouette. Later scans showed the Pokémon in full color, with an arrow tracking from Eevee to Ninfia suggesting a relationship.
Eevee and its evolutions have been mentioned several times in recent tweets from {{bp|Junichi Masuda}} and the official Pokémon Twitter account. They are also set to feature in the upcoming {{bp|Pikachu short}} ''{{bp|PK25|Pikachu and Eevee Friends}}''.


Ninfia's type is still unknown. If it is indeed an Eeveelution, it will likely be the first to be typed with one of the formerly Physical types. The method for obtaining such an Eeveelution is also a mystery.

It was hinted earlier this year over Twitter that fans could expect new Eeeveelutions in the sixth generation of Pokémon.
