Pokemon X and Y: Fighting Sylveon

A lot of people think that Sylveon is a fighting type.  I can see why they think this.  The whip-looking things on its head and neck look a lot like the whip-type things found on Mienshao, another fighting-type.  That is the only evidence of Sylveon being a fighting-type.  Overall, I don't think Sylveon will be a fighting-type, but there is a possibility.
