Splash isn’t a Water-type move because it’s not meant to be called “Splash.” In other translations, including the original Japanese, it’s just meant to be a “Hop,” which is why other Pokémon that have nothing to do with water can learn it. It was a poor mistranslation that didn’t account for the idea that anything other than Magikarp would be able to learn it.

[@darkfang932]

I’m pretty sure back in generation one, Dragon Types were a thing and the typing was given to (at the time) non-dragon type Pokémon. Source: Lance’s Elite Four dialogue before you fight him

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

@@darkfang932 I don't think that was how it worked back in gen1; for what you said to work, Gryados and Aerodactyl would've needed to have originally been dragon types, but they are not, and never were. The reason why they gave Lance non dragon type Pokemon on his team was because there weren't enough back then (he had 2 Dragonair in gen1 AND 3 Dragonite in gen2), so to fill his team slots they went with giving him Pokemon that looked like they could maybe be dragons instead. It's also worth noting that not every Pokemon in the dragon egg group is dragon type as well, so it seems that the Pokemon does not necessarily need to be a certain type to be considered to be similar to the ones that are.
