Where to find it in X and Y
Match the version, area and method before travelling. Grass, flowers, Horde Encounters, fishing, Rock Smash, ambushes, gifts and the Friend Safari are separate encounter methods.
No direct wild or gift encounter is recorded for this form. Use its evolution family, breed an obtained parent, or trade it in from another game.
Evolution family
Friendship evolutions need high friendship (220 or more); feeding Poké Puffs in Pokémon-Amie raises affection, which is a separate value used by Sylveon.
Abilities, breeding and training
Hidden Abilities in X and Y come mainly from the Friend Safari, Horde Encounters and certain gifts or events. Breeding can pass a Hidden Ability from a female parent.
