I used to think sodowoodo was a grass type, and there was a time when I couldn't figure the typing of Ludicolo (it's water/grass for some random reason)

Isn't he based on a cactus? Those usually have big amounts of water stored inside them, maybe that's why?

Not exactly, his evolution line is based off of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kappa_%28folklore%29

Its japanese folklore, and in every anime I've seen with one it does make sense for it to be that typing.
