>>47974941Celebi’s name means Celestial Being, aka space aka Psychic.
Two dex entries also support its Psychic typing:
DP: It has the power to travel across time, but it is said to appear only in peaceful times.
Celebi can predict/see the future and determine where and when to appear. Psychic.
Shield: This Pokémon traveled through time to come from the future. It bolsters grass and trees with its own strength, and it can heal wounds, too.
The healing of wounds is associated with Psychic type. Healing Wish and Heal Pulse.
In addition, Celebi was given Psychic as its primary typing, so GF consciously decided that Celebi is a telepath that can also manipulate vegetation. Guess what other Psychic/Grass Pokémon can so that?
