How is Lucario a Steel type?

I know this is a resolved question, and there is 2 answers already, but I feel an urge to tell someone this:Lucario: A Fighting-Steel typeHere is a few reasons why:

I’m not sure where I read this, but Lucario is known to haveiron fists

To be honest, I don’t think there IS a legitimate reason Game Freak had to making Lucario Steel-type. I have a few ideas as to why, though:

Lucario looks cool already, but pure Fighting-typing is so bland. Game Freak likely put Steel-type on him to make him stand out, and therefore, not be overlooked.

Steel-types are popular among fans, so why not make Lucario this way so that he’s appealing?

Fighting is a bad defensive typing. To make sure that Lucario has some defensive prowess, he’d need a good subtype for defending…Why not STEEL?

I think these are all horrible thoughts, and I think it’s a dumb thing to do, just because Game Freak wanted Lucario to be popular. Take a look at a few others. Just by their typing, you can tell who Game Freak actually enjoyed designing, and who they put in for fillers.

I have a theory that actually this “aura” are electromagnetic waves that our brains emit (science proved) just look at descripctionUltra Sun “It concentrates its mental energy and fires off mysterious waves called auras, which can crush boulders of large size to dust”. This “mental energy” could be those electromagnetic waves, and its probably possible in Pokemon world to know someone thoughts by those waves, but still for sure if lucario would detect them then it could also detect thing that emit them.So lucario steel type works like conductor for those waves. It also could have steel skeleton, and of course claws and spikes that lucario have could be made of steel.But probably the most important reason is just game freak logic.

Spikes, i also have a theory that under its fur is a thin coat of steel, plus it did come out of a staff.

I think Game Freak made him a steel type because if he was just a fighting type, he’d be weak to flying and psychic types. But when you think about it, they also made him weak to even more types: fire, ground, and even fighting, his own type. When they did introduce the fairy type in generation 6, though, it evens out. Fairy isn’t super effective on a fighting steel type, even though it would be with just a fighting type. I was kind of confused then, because fairy is good against fighting, but steel is good against fairy. And Lucario is fighting steel. I tested it on a link battle and my Gardevoir won against their Lucario. But I always feel sad beating a Lucario because he is one of my favorite Pokemon.

i think it could be to make a viable option to use against the evil teams at that time. The grunts of the evil teams then used primarily poison types so lucario’s steel typing would negate the poison type attacks.
