The problem is a lot of unused ideas/typings were left unused because of how strong they are, but Gamefreak is eventually forced to use them as time goes on.
Galarian Weezing, for instance, is a Poison/Fairy typing (with Levitate for that matter) which is one of the best defensive dual typings you can give a Pokemon. If it has even a half-decent move pool it'll see some use competitively.
