But what on earth could a levitating ghost/steel pokemon even be?

sorry for posting twice really quickly but i only have so much library computer time
Ghost/steel doesn't really seem that big of an oxymoron to me. Maybe because ghosts are ex-living things and steel is things that generally aren't alive, but there are probably bigger oxymorons out there. Idk, flavour-wise it would kinda make sense if they did something like bronzong or golurk, those are great pokemon in terms of flavour (imo).
Also, I highly, highly doubt gamefreak would make a ghost/steel with levitate. I know it's the competitive player's dream, but that's exactly why, because it's too broken to be used in the normal game. Also, because it would basically outclass every steel/psychic, like jirachi and metagross, who are supposed to be powerful, late-game beasts. But then again, 5th gen was nearly as power creep as yugioh, so i shouldn't rely on that point.
