Why is Lugia not water psychic?

Lugia isn't Water/Psychic because developers wanted it to feel powerful, making its Flying-type design symbolic of the sky, while Psychic represented ultimate strength in Gen 1/2; its underwater presence relates more to controlling storms and its role as the sea's guardian (using psychic power to calm waves), rather than being inherently a water creature, creating a cool contrast with Ho-Oh (sun/day) as a moon/night yin-yang duo, according to interviews with its creators.

Has Lugia ever been a water-type?

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.

Why is Psyduck not Psychic?

Psyduck isn't a Psychic type because its powers are uncontrolled, stemming from constant headaches, making it a pure Water-type that learns psychic moves, not is one; Game Freak likely kept it Water-only to balance early-game types, despite its "Psy" name and head-clutching, leaving its psychic potential for its evolution, Golduck, to maybe tap into, but still not quite get there in typing either.

Can Lugia use water moves?

Lugia can learn some Water-type moves, like Surf or Hydro Pump, but that doesn't change its actual typing. So if you're planning to use Lugia, remember this: it isn't a Water-type Pokémon. It's Psychic and Flying, even though it has a strong connection to the ocean.

Why does Misty hate her Psyduck?

Misty acts mean to Psyduck primarily because it's incredibly frustrating, constantly appearing at the wrong time, being clueless, and making her lose battles, but deep down, she cares for it, though she struggles with its dopey nature and inability to stay in its Poké Ball, often resorting to yelling or mild physical comedy as a coping mechanism for her exasperation. She's annoyed by its random appearances and lack of control over its psychic power, even trying to trade it once, but she never truly abandons it, and her affection grows as Psyduck's headaches unlock powerful psychic moves, making it a surprisingly strong asset.

Who is stronger, Lugia or Mewtwo?

In a one-on-one fight, Mewtwo likely wins due to superior speed and raw Psychic power, especially with Mega Evolutions, but Lugia's bulk and typing (Psychic/Flying, immune to Ground) give it a solid defense, making it a tough opponent that can survive hits and hit back with powerful Ice/Electric moves, though Mewtwo's access to Ghost/Dark moves like Shadow Ball makes it hard for Lugia to resist, according to discussions on Reddit and Quora.
