Well, we have to keep in mind that the evolution is a single type with no secondary standing (e.g. Just dark, not dark/ghost) and needs to fit into the TCG. Based on the pokemon cards TCG types, there are 10 categories. Four of those groups are not represented yet:
Grass = Grass/]Bug = Leafeon
Fire = Fire = Flareon
Water = Water/Ice = Vaporeon, Glaceon
Lightning = Electric = Jolteon
Psychic = Psychic/ghost/poison = Espeon
Fighting = Fighting, Rock, Ground = ???
Darkness = Dark = Umbreon
Metal = Steel = ???
Colorless = Normal/Flying = ???
Dragon = Dragon = ???
From there, we need to remove the secondary types. Recently, there HAVE been pure poison, flying, rock, ghost, and steel pokemon, but in reality, these are more of "exceptions" rather than "norms"
So, my deductive reasoning says that the Eeveelution has to be:
Dragon, Fighting, Normal, or Ground, but for the point of this thread, I'll say dragon and fighting as the two most likely. There has been a large influx of dragon and fighting types recently and I feel like they try and squeeze a few more in. Fighting and ground remain the only two original series types to not be represented by an Eeveelution, and normal feels like a cop out to me (eeveeon? Give it a moon stone?)
