Seems kinda weird…

You’re talking about the Mega evolution for Steelix correct? Can’t find a “Fire Type Steelix” delta on the wiki list of deltas.

As for why it can’t learn any fire-type moves, is because it’s ability Foundry just turns all it’s rock-type moves(Stealth Rocks included) into Fire-Type, and then giving them a +30% damage boost, while also allowing them to get STAB from Steelix becoming a Fire-type. Not to mention; if it knew say, Flamethrower or Flame Charge, and it was just regular old Steelix, that’d be weird to see =/
