^ Of course. But when we cross universe, questions like that are unevitable. Not useful in all case, but necessary.

In this case, it can be useful to know if Dusknoir will be hurted by blade's attack, since we know that Normal and Fighting attacks can't hurt him due to his type. We don't have to give a type to Falchion here, but it can help just to know if Dusknoir will be hurt. In this case, Pokemon give the Fighting type to sword attack but in the other case the blade-Pokemon that I forget the name in English is Steel-Ghost Type. Ghost due to his ghost status, and probably steel due to his spade status.

So due to his composition Falchion isn't Steel but Dragon (due to be made from a dragon's fang), but the basic attack are still Fighting Type. When the blade-Pokemon use Sacred Sword, he can't hit a Ghost-type Pokemon.

So by looking to Pokemon point of view, in this stage, Lucina can't hit Dusknoir.

BUT in the Fire Emblem universe, the Falchion can hit the "dead" as seen with the zombies. And zombies will be easily classified into Ghost-type in Pokemon point of view.

So no matter what type we give to Falchion composition or attacks, it doesn't matter due to Falchion being able to hit and hurt the dead + the Exalted Falchion has a divine power that is just above Pokemon type-limits and can't be classified in type.

Giving a Pokemon type wasn't really useful here, but it was necessary to see if Lucina can hit Dusknoir.
