Why the FUCK did the devs change their mind about Hydreigon being a Steel/Dragon type pokemon? Why did they think it was a good idea to make it Dark/Dragon instead?
We could have had a cybernetic Steel/Dragon type with levitate! And THIS gen our first non-legendary Steel/Dragon ends up being Duraludon of all things.
>We could have had a Steel/Dragon with Flashcannon, Flamethrower, Draco Meteor, EarthPower, U-Turn, Stealth Rock, and Defog.
What a fucking waste.

If they were going to go with the original idea of a tank dragon, it most likely would not have been a levitator/flier.

Still would have been awesome. And if it was a tank it might have ended up getting Mega Launcher as a hidden ability later on and could have had shit like Aura Sphere.
What. A. Waste.

>Flash Cannon
I still don't understand why people even waste a moveslot on this retarded coverage, why would you need mediocre coverage for a Mon that you will almost never stay in on? Why not run fire blast or u-turn to synergize with Draco meteor?

iirc they outright said they couldn't think of a good design kek. the ideas are pretty distinct so i'm sure one day they'll pull the tank dragon idea out of the trash can

Hydreigon can run tons of sets. Flash cannon is the least popular one but, if well predicted, it can actually take a good chunk of fairy HP.

I understand that, I'm saying that running that move at all is retarded. If you want to go for surprise set bulky dragon with focus energy and roost is a good mid-late game sweeper firing off meteors without giving a shit about it's attack drop.

you are better switching to a fairy counter instead of trying to damage them with hydreigon, specially with that x4 weakness
it dont help azu and primarina arent weak to the move too

Predict the swap and hit flash cannon retard. Even if the fairy does survive its going to die before it can do anything so they will either have to sacrifice it or pull it back out.

Nah Hydreigon is better as Dark. They should have made Goodra part Steel and made of mercury instead of coom.

Fuck off, Goodra is shit. That would be a worse dragon/steel than fucking Duraludon and he is horrid. Haxorus should have been dragon/steel, if anything. That or Kommo-o because the fucker is literally covered in metal scales.

Nah, Kommo-o's whole thing is being a warrior monk, hence it's very ornate and a Fighting type. Goodra could have been Water or Poison. I get that a pure type pseudo hadn't been done and it's not a hard and fast rule but pure Dragon in the same generation Fairy was added is underwhelming.

Why would you do that when Kommo-O just got STAB Body Press this generation?

Steel/Dragon with Levitate would be legitimately busted, even with the buffs Gen V gave to Fighting types. Hell, Hydreigon as is was seen as incredibly oppressive in its heyday.
