Golduckis not a Psychic type because of the brain damage it had as a Psyduck.
Floetteis not a Grass type because it only holds a flower, same with Flabébé. Florges is weird, it is a flower. But she is still not a Grass type because: “Its life can span several hundred years. It’s said to devote its entire life to protecting gardens.“Fae are usually associated with Nature, protecting it, and making it grow. Which she both does. So basically, in this case the Fairy type replaces both the Fairy type and the Grass type. If the Fairy type didn’t exist, then Florges would just be Grass. Cottonee for example is both Grass and Fairy type, because these Pokémon are pranksters, and leave cotton behind, resembling the mist fairies like Tinkerbell leave behind.
Eelektrossis not a Water type because if you are a fish/other sea creature, you don’t always need to be Water type. Take for example Dragalge, it got the Dragon type instead of Water because Dragon fits it more.
GyaradosIs based on a sea serpent and chinese dragon, but it has more reasoning to be the Flying type because: “Gyarados is partially based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate.“The jumping was pretty high, so the flying type was a reference to the jumping.And also: “s Flying-type may be a reference of koinobori, a carp-shaped wind sock traditionally flown to celebrate the Children’s Day in Japan. It could also be inspired by the Inkanyamba, a giant, winged, eel that causes storms when angry - a trait Gyarados is famous for."(sauce)
Lugiais not a Water type because water has something in common with the moon. This is because of tides. And the moon usually resembles magic, and magic resembles Psychic. Therefore, some people think that Ho-Oh and Lugia are supposed to be representing the sun and moon, before Solgaleo and Lunala did. So again, the moon resembles magic, and magic resembles the Psychic type. Lugia is also the Psychic type because Morimoto Shigeki said: “To start, the first type was decided to be Flying-type since Lugia have wings. At the time Psychic-type was the symbol of powerful Pokemon. As we wanted Lugia to give the impression of being a powerful Pokemon, we settled on Psychic-type for the second type, instead of Water-type.In short, the reason why Lugia is not a Water-type despite being underwater, is due to its Flying-type-like appearance, and Psychic-type being the symbol of a powerful Pokemon.”
TL;DR:
