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. 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. At the time Psychic-type was the symbol of powerful Pokemon. To start, the first type was decided to be Flying-type since Lugia have wings. This is what Morimoto Shigeki said when asked why Lugia is not Water-type, quoted from Nintendo DREAM November 2009 issue. I feel that more people should know this, so I don't have to see people asking the same question again (lol) Sorry for spamming, but I was surprised that the official answer has never been translated into English.
