Just wanted to throw my theory into the pot of "Guess My Type" for Sylveon. I know this is not a popular opinion. I got this idea from the bows, the shape and colors, and then there's the solid-colored blue eyes, very unique. Then I am reminded of "silver powder" because of its name. And then I thought of this goofy thing to explain its evolution. XD
And yes, I have read the Flying Type theory. and it makes the most sense. It could also be normal.
EDIT: 6/18/13: Well it looks like everyone who solidly believed it was a canon type was wrong. Thanks for playing, folks! :D Can't wait to see what this fairy type can do! (besides maul dragons, apparently)
