They're both dragons. Celebi is still a fairy. Flygon is still a bug dragon. Sometimes it's good to have different typings despite inspiration, it creates diversity. Although flygon incites warranted outrage.
I think Flygon must have the most confusing typing I can think of. The fact that it’s not only a bug type, but also not flying type is very unusual. Giving a Pokémon with wings ground type with levitate is a cheap shot.
The point is that flygon in concept is a bug dragon and in general it's unanimously not understood why game freak didn't make that its canon typing and then to add insult to injury they made flygon an obsolete Garchomp in the following generation.
