It means they're an actual dragon rather than simply being a dragon-themed animal.

Dragons include reptile-like, fishlike, and birdlike in just folklore and sometimes have batlike wings. It seems like a useless distinction.

For Absol here, I wanna add there's actually several reasons why Dark Type makes sense for it and "It's only Dark cuz people perceive it as bad" isn't actually why Absol is Dark Type.

It has a yin yang for a face, so Absol acting heroically while being Dark is the whole point. It being a symbol of disaster means it has a theme of bad luck/misfortune that other Dark Types like Murkrow have. It has a Grim Reaper scythe horn because people die in disasters, but the Grim Reaper only looks scary and is really there to guide and to help you.

Absol's basically just Dark because it senses negative energy/bad luck in the same way Vaporeon is Water because it senses the approach of rain. It knows when bad doomsday shit is about to go down.

Fairy is weird like that, all its themes overlap with past types.
You can take any Gen 6+ Fairy type, retype it as Normal, Dark, Psychic or Grass, or just omit Fairy entirely in the case of dual types, and they wouldn't look out of place.

Glalie's whole design is one large pun. It's called Onigori in Japan, presumably oni + kori (ice) while also sounding like onigiri.
So it's an ogre riceball made of ice.

This is great I'd add one thing tho. Girafarig and Drampa are half Normal because they're dual-natured. Girafarig is half giraffe with an extra head that it communicates with telepathically. Drampa is based on on a cryptid creature that's a dragon with the head of an old human man. So it being half Normal is to represent the old man.

Also pretty sure Heliolisk is Normal because it doesn't generate its own electricity. It has to absorb it from the sun, so it isn't "fully" Electric Type.
