==Biology==
Sylveon is a quadrupedal, mammalian covered with pale cream-colored fur with pink feet, ears, and tail. It has light blue eyes, long ears with blue interiors and thicker fur, a tiny nose, two stray tufts of fur on top of its head, and two pointed teeth which can be seen when it opens its mouth. There are two bows on its body: one at the base of its left ear and one at its neck. Each bow is pale cream with a pink center and trails a pair of ribbon-like feelers. These feelers, which can be manipulated like limbs and extended far beyond their typical length, are pale cream and end at the tips with a pink stripe, then a dark blue stripe, and then a light blue color. It has slender legs with small, three-toed paws and a fluffy, slightly curved tail.
Sylveon's ribbon-like feelers emit a soothing aura that erases any sense of hostility, enabling it to stop fights instantly. As mentioned in the Sleep Style Dex, Sylveon's soothing aura can allow any nearby Trainers to obtain a good night sleep whenever they go to sleep. When hunting, it swirls its feelers as a distraction while the aura weakens feelings of hostility in its prey, then it pounces on the victim. It will also wrap its feelers around its 's arm as they walk together, which allows it to read their feelings. When a fight breaks out between Sylveon and Pokémon, Sylveon will bravely charge at them even if they are much bigger than itself; in Galar, this feat is told as a fairy tale.
Sylveon is the only known Pokémon that can have as an Ability without the use of Mega Evolution, and in Generation VIII and , it is the only Pokémon that can have Pixilate at all.

===Concept and development===
Sylveon was designed by Atsuko Nishida.(2018) EVs. (English translation written by Anthony Madry and commissioned by Dr. Lava)Official Nintendo Magazine Interview | Interview with Ken Sugimori
===Origin===
According to Atsuko Nishida, Sylveon is a reimagination of stereotypical modern fairies — winged, human-shaped beings like . Moreover, Sylveon's color scheme was chosen because it isn't found in nature, emphasizing it as a fantastical creature.Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida (Page 1)
Similar to most Eeveelutions, Sylveon's overall design shares characteristics with multiple different mammalian species such as , , and . However, in contrast to the other Eeveelutions' pointed ears, Sylveon's large and rounded ears resemble a . Due to fairies' affinity to nature, myths commonly involve them being particularly active during a full moon; because of this and the rabbit similarities, Sylveon could be based on the .
Alternatively, Sylveon may be based on , the moon rabbit's owner and the goddess of the Moon in Chinese mythology. Chang'e is a , a type of female immortal or deity often translated as "fairy" or "fairy maiden". Xiānnǚ are often depicted wearing a , a traditional robe often adorned with a large and , accessories which likely inspired Sylveon's ribbon-like feelers.
====Name origin====
Sylveon may be a combination of ( of air commonly identified with fairies) and eon (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). Eon is a suffix all Eeveelutions share and was Eevee's English prototype name.
Nymphia may be derived from , a class of female nature deities in Greek mythology commonly associated with fairies.
