It's a legendary, so I'm sure the physic typing was stapled onto it to make it more powerful. I agree that it deserves a water typing, but in GameFreak's mind, legendaries usually get a type to better increase their power.

Gen 1 has so many dumbass bullshit typings that either don't make sense or are just wasted opportunities.

Bulbasaur should be pure Grass.
Psyduck and Golduck should be Water/Psychic.
Arbok should be Poison/Dark.
All the fucking Normal/Flying birds should be pure Flying (except Doduo and Dodrio).
Voltorb and Electrode should be Electric/Steel.
Gyarados should be pure Water.
All the Ground/Rock types should be pure Rock (except Onix).
Mew should be pure Normal.

I think it is based on intelligence. Lugia is one of the legendary pokémon, and as we all know, pokémon lore tend to place legendaries as "protector" or "guardian" of something. Lugia probably has to keep the balance of the sea. It has to restrain itself.

It's literally a cartoon for children, it doesn't follow the games canon. Also, what's so unrealistic about a fighting type hitting as hard as a hundred boxers? That's pretty reasonable.

The main reason why they aren't pure flying is because flight is just a body mechanism for an ordinary creature. Tordadus is an embodiment/god of wind which is why Flying is his only type.

Its a Psychic type because it uses Psychic powers to influence the weather. Its Psychic abilities are too powerful for it to control. So much that it can create a 40 day superstorm woth just a light flap of its fucking wings. So to protect everyone on the surface from its own power, it lives in isolation deep under the sea.

Golduck is based on a kappa. Kappas are mythical, therefore not normal.
