New Eeveelution Ninfia is Light type?

Corocoro magazine scans have revealed a new pokemon Ninfia and already there is massive speculation of a new type being introduced. The fact that Ninfia's typing is being kept a secret as well as Xerneas' and Yveltal's types lead people to think that Ninfia may be a new type. The exclusive full scans can be found below.

Naturally, the first thing that would be released about an eeveelution would be it's typing, and usually it is visible in the pokemon. At the moment, Ninfia's typing is secret and it looks as though it will be a normal type (lots of pinks and whites resembling skitty, audino etc.) or flying type (Large ears and streamers plus those strange sky blue eyes). It seems most likely to be normal type but if so, there is no point in keeping it secret.

Could Xerneas be a light type to counter Yveltal's dark typing and Ninfia being the face of this new type?
Can the type we have wanted since gen 2 be implemented in this new gen?
Only time can tell.
