While I love the Water/Fighting type combo due to Keldeo (one of the most underrated Pokémon ever competitively) this Pokémon was specifically made to counter some of the most used Pokémon in VGC, while we don't know how it'll accomplish that, it beeing partially water type would have made it weak against Ferrothorn, given that it's certainly going to be a fast but frail Pokémon it's possible that it can't OHKO Ferrothorn at max HP/Def so they made it only fighting so that Ferrothorn can't OHKO it back after landing a super effective Fighting type move...
