After watching the second movie I noticed that although Lugia is supposed to be a bird, it's only referred to as the 'Beast of the Sea', and the only true bird-like characterstic are the wings. Otherwise, it has a long tail, long neck and fang-like teeth, displayed on dragons. It also bears somewhat of a resemblance to Latias/Latios, which are also dragons.
So what do you think? Do you think Lugia closer to a bird, or a dragon?

It would but that has no relevance to this. The fact that he is a psychic type remains, and proves he has no need to swim, thus making the swimming argument null and void. The thing is, he wouldn't be able to live underwater if not for his psychic power. If Nintendo was actually gonna have him swim they would have made him a water type2 instead of psychic.
