Why wasn't Lucario a Fighting/Dragon type instead of Dragon/Steel?
Trainer in Clair's gym:
>"Dragons are sacred Pokemon. They are full of life energy."
Dratini Pokedex entry:
>"This Pokémon is full of life energy. It continually sheds its skin and grows steadily larger."
Life energy (aura) is what Lucario's entire concept is based around, and Dragon Pulse is one of the last moves it learns by level-up.
As shown by Pokemon like Altaria and Alolan Exeggutor, you don't have to be an actual dragon to be a Dragon-type, you just have to possess this "life energy".
