 :: aha, thank you so much! I ponder if maybe this information should be clarified on the "abilities" page, e.g. something like "Pokémon with the hidden ability x will evolve into Pokémon with hidden ability y" for situations where x and y do not have overlapping or identical abilities/hidden abilities. Another example that comes to mind is Oblivious Numel evolving into Magma Armor Camerupt. I feel that this is information that is sort of information is lacking/should be researched and should be recorded somewhere. But if in a table on the ability page or on each pokémon's individual page, I am not sure. [[User:ZaphodBeeblebrox|ZaphodBeeblebrox]] ([[User talk:ZaphodBeeblebrox|talk]]) 22:17, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 :::It is mentioned on the [[Ability]] page: "When a Pokémon evolves, its Ability slot remains the same." Hidden Ability is an Ability slot. [[User:Litwick96|<span style="color:purple">Litwick</span>]][[User Talk:Litwick96|<span style="color:grey">96</span>]] 22:40, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
+== Possible Sylveon origin? ==
+(Sorry, I'm new to this)
+Hello! I know that discussions regarding Eeveelution's design origins can be a bit messy... however I did a bit of searching here and there, and I think it's a possibility that Sylveon could be based on the Moon Rabbit myth, and to an extent, the Leporidae family?
+I'll explain to you my reasoning for this:
+-Compared to the rest of the Eeveelution's pointed ears, one of Sylveon's unique traits are it's large rounded ears, making it bear a resemblance to jack rabbits.
+-Sylveon's "signature" (by signature, I mean a move that Sylveon is always depicted with in trailers, spinoffs and the anime) move is moonblast, connecting to the moon rabbit mythical.  Ken Sugimori has even drawn official art showcasing Hydreigon and Sylveon, with the latter dropping down from the sky and burrowing it's power, creating the illusion that Sylveon came from the moon itself.
+-Moon rabbit has always been depicted to be white to mirror the color of the moon and the rice cakes that it makes.  While the Pokedex describes Sylveon to be pink, the majority of it's body is colored to be white, as the pink can only be seen in minor areas, such as the face and tail.
+-Sylveon's tail has some resemblance to the Viscacha rabbit's tail, both are long enough to curl even in a relaxed state.
+-In PK25, "Eevee and Friends," Sylveon's icon was shown to be egg shaped.  Perhaps the Easter Bunny is a possible origin as well?
+-Furthering the Easter rabbit theory, the folkloric figure is sometimes depicted with clothes.  Sylveon is the only eeveelution to be illustrated with accessories, having feelers disguised as ribbons.
+And that's my observation so far! Under no circumstance do I think it's 100% true and canon, however I do believe that it could explain the few traits that Sylveon possesses, and it can clear things up a bit.
