    To this day, I'm still angry that Goodra wasn't a Dragon/Poison type, when it was introduced in the game that added Fairy Type. What a missed opportunity for a creative and unique Pseudo-Legendary that would have even made sense lorewise having evolved poison-typing as a self-defense against the region's fairy types.
    Would it have been better competitively? I have no idea.
    Would it have been more interesting than a pure dragon type? Yes.

      The animal Goodra is inspired by has the abilty to take the poison it's immune to from other animals and wield it in its fins.
      So it'd have been cool if it was like pure Dragon and then gains like Poisonate by absorbing a move.

    If you want a real sense of how strong Hydreigon is, Hoopa-Unbound came out in Gen 6 and was absolutely destroying Singles OU, while Hydreigon was reigning as king of UU, the tier below. When Hoopa-Unbound was banned from OU, people began looking for a Special Attacker who could pick up where Hoopa left off. Turns out, Hydreigon fit into that slot perfectly, performing the same role without being overwhelming and even being superior in some places. Pursuit completely ripped through Hoopa-Unbound's low Defense, while Hydreigon both resisted the move and had decent Defense to make it even tougher to get rid of without a Fairy type, and Fairy types always feared a Flash Cannon on the switch, making up Hoopa's STAB Psychic.
    Mega Metagross got banned in Gen 7 from OU because of the Mega Speed and Ability Boost. Megas got their new Speed Stat on the first turn and their ability as well, so Mega Metagross immediately began hitting harder and was faster than before, making it unhealthy for Singles. But yeah, Mega Mawhile and Mega Khanga were banned back in Gen 6 without that, so I guess it was more fair in Doubles where those two also thrived, same with Mega Salamance.
    Dragonite is definitely a stronger Singles Pokémon, as Multiscale is not as good in a Doubles format due to double targetting breaking the ability and leaving it vulnerable for the next move.

    From the dlc storyline and even the mechanic itself being so well balanced I think there is a chance terrastilization stays as a permanent mechanic.
    Unlike dynomax, megas, and Z moves, Terra is used by way more Pokémon, is less centralized in its role, and offers more versatility and strategies. We have seen plenty of traditionally bad Pokémon become amazing off the mechanic. Even with the damage buff helping offensive threats it’s more commonly being used defensively. It’s just the best gimmick they have tried and the one I hope they stick with.
