Zulites should be weak to lightning because electricity flows straight through the ground... and water is a pretty poor conductor. I discovered that flying things being weak to lightning is really just a pokémon inspired myth... :.

First off, you have your things mixed up. Water is a really good conductor of lightning and all electricity. Ground is the poor conductor.
As for flying things being weak to lightning just being a pokémon-inspired myth, think about it for a second. Lightning strikes the highest point, as you may well know. The best way to get to a high point (as far as animals) is to, well, fly. If a really stupid bird is flying above a tall tree in a thunderstorm, the bird is a bit more likely to get hit.
Most strengths and weaknesses on pokémon are at least partly based on truth, you just gotta think about it.
