Sylvanshine is an optical phenomenon in which dew-covered trees of species whose leaves are wax-covered retroreflect beams of light, as from a vehicle’s headlights, sometimes causing trees to appear to be snow-covered at night during the summer.

The phenomenon was named and explained in 1994 by Professor Alistair Fraser of Pennsylvania State University, an expert in meteorological optics.

According to his explanation, the wax on the leaves causes water to form beads, which become, in effect, lenses. These lenses focus the light to a spot on the surface of the leaf, and the image of this spot is directed as rays in the opposite direction.

Take your pick. Seriously, the name is entirely inconclusive, which is in turn all the more reason it's probably just a Normal-type.

I like this.

Normal type is dumb. Once Eevee covers all 16 (maybe 17) types, Eevee shall cover, and always be the normal slot.

This is a good point, but none of those can be backed my Sylveon's design. It wouldn't make any sense to give a pokemon a flying typing that :
A) isnt a bird
B) doesn't have wings or
C) has no features that would give the capabilities of flight

As for the forest related articles, we already have a grass-type eeveelution
