Speculating On New Pokémon Sylveon’s Type

A new Pokemon named Sylveon was announced last week, and it's currently shrouded in mystery. We don't know its special moves, its type, or how it evolves from Eevee. But could The Pokemon Company have hidden one of the answers in plain sight?

I don't want it to be a Flying. I'm hoping my theory of it being a new type "Magic" turns out to be right. I doubt it will, but that would be cool. I don't see how Electric would beat Magic, but alot of the Pokemon type matchups make no sense. Why does Ground beat Fire?

[Slowbrosef]

pouring dirt onto fire is a pretty fast way to put it out.

But what about grass beating water?

[Slowbrosef]

grass absorbs water through it's roots

By the way, at first glance I thought flying due to the wind ribbons effect and the "wing" accessories.

I see what you're saying, but the bowtie makes it look like a magician. And the video on Pokemon.com had it do a move involving playing cards.

1.Grass(Plants) Absorbs Water
2.I think it might either be
Dragon(39%)
Magic(30%)
Another Psychic(15%)
Flying(50%)
Another Dark(10%)
Ghost(40%)
Normal(45%)
Fight(44%)
3.Why do you think its normal?Good question.
Normal types like Audino,Snorlax and Lickytung are able to learn moves like Ice Beam,Fire Blast,etc.So there is a possibility that the next evolution is gonna be a normal type,but I don't agree too much.Dragon type?I'm not sure as well,but the chances are very high,on people voting counts.
4.Do you remember when she fought a certain pokemon,there were stars being shot,and a possibility,that was swift.
