Everyone and their mother was saying that the justification for Galarian Weezing being Fairy-type was because it can purify toxins and produce clean air, but now that Galarian Ponyta does basically the same thing this is suddenly something that doesn't make sense for Fairy-type and fits better with the Psychic-type? Nah, it's pure bullshit is what it is.
It's pretty clear that the only reason these Pokémon have the wack types that they do is because it gets people talking
>DUUUUDE GALARIAN WEEZING IS FAIRY-TYPE!? DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING!>YOOOOOO WHAT THE FUCK GALARIAN PONYTA'S NOT FAIRY-TYPE!? DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING!It's subversion for the sake of subversion. Prioritising short term marketing over any kind of quality control or consistency, as per usual with Game Freak these days.
