Dragon evee would probably be really slow or really frail (unless someone can come up with a balanced spread that gives him good speed and decent defenses, which probably isn't possible, but I would love to see, so can someone post it for me :V?) so Outrage would either be a really good or really bad choice on him. It may be completely irrelevant if he gets Dragon Dance, but, we'll have to wait and see.

or... 130 HP, 65 Att, 95 Def, 60 SpcAtt, 110 SpcDef, 65 Speed with Huge Power and Dragon Dance.
 
Why would he have huge power and Dragon dance? He'd more than likely get Belly Drum and a priority move if he had huge power rather than Dragon Dance.

I would enjoy 65/95/60/130/65/110 with a half-decent ability

I'm not sure about that since Espeon and Glaceon already have 130 in SpcAtt. The reason why they repeated with Glaceon is because Leafeon finished Defense (the last stat available) for the 130. I'd be happy with a 130 HP one. I'd like him bulky.
 
I would lol if they make a sound type. You know what screw it, I'm calling it: There will be a new type called sound in Pokemon Black and White.
*little voice inside my head*: "You know there won't be one"
Me: "Shut up, I'm trying to sound cool."

If there making eveelutions, they're probably making ground and rock, because I don't think no one has suggest those. lol

People are suggesting Dragons only now because it's the only special (1st-3rd gen) type left that's not an Eevee evolution.
 
There are no pure dragons after all (fully evolved), a dragon-type eeveelution might be welcome. Still, if it doesn't have a dragon-absorbing ability, than it might be a rough environment for it.

Dragon looks like a good defensive type at first look, but that dragon weakness is fatal. Ice type being a popular offensive type (regardless of dragon) is a big problem too, but dragon-weak is the bigger one-- unless it's fast.

Slow-bulky dragons simply have issues (for instance, a CRO strategy with dragon would have issues), because no matter how bulky your defensive stats, STAB outrage/draco meteor from any faster dragons would pretty much destroy you. Even more problematic is that your teammates probably aren't going to like taking the hit for you. Unlike a slow "Bulky Water" type where there are lots of teammates to switch into electric/grass moves, a slow "Bulky Dragon" is kind of an invitation for the enemy's Dragon/Ice attacks to beat your team's face in.

If there is a pure eeveelution, it better hope it gets 110 or 130 in its speed stat . . . simply put, dragons need speed, period. Of course if it has a dragon-immune ability, the above points are moot.
 
I'm quite fond of the Dragon absorbing ability idea, but it just doesn't really make sense considering the type doesn't represent some form of energy that can be...absorbed..
 
Registeel likes taking Draco Metoers to the face :X. Probably the best partner for this Eveevolution if it happens to be Bulky and Slow, and maybe if it's fast too.
 
a lot of steel types CAN take but most of then mind taking a dragon hit because barring some steels like scizor and skarmory they often lack reliable recovery and those 2 cant take stuff like specs draco meteor from latias all day.
 
Yes, most steel types don't exactly have what you would describe as a spectacular special defense. When I was using Registeel in OU to sponge Mence Metoer I absolutely had to give him wish support for him to do more than sponge DM, he lost about 1 fifth of his health each time he took a hit from DM. Unfortunately, that was even with a more specially defensive geared spread.
 
I think it would be unique if they actually made a specially defencive Steel type to take advantage of in OU, instead of just mingling on one side of the spectrum.
 
Getting steel and dragon on the same gen would be cool since they are the most defensive and most offensive types.....but it would even cooler if the dragon was defensive and the steel was offensive (?)
 
I can't believe people are saying the idea of new types are silly because they make no sense. This is POKEMON we're talking about! There is tons of things that don't make sense, but hating the idea of sound/light/other type because it doesn't "defeat" dragons or break through steel is just stupid. If you ask me Dark is too closely related to ghost, but that exists right?
 
The only reason we would see a new type is to counteract and balance dragon because that's the only reason they made dark and steel.

But they don't care about balance any more so good luck.
 
as discussed a million times before, dark is not truly "dark" but its real identity is "evil", which contrasts with the goodness of the psychic type as ghost is not really meant to be scary but just badass
 
offensive steel is sort of a possibility....magnezone, anyone? sort of....

but defensive dragon? that don't make sense...nt much anyways...it would probably die fast
