I find it funny that Dragon, Fairy and Steel are the three strongest types. If they tweaked Steel's resistance to Dragon we could have another type triangle. But what I'm getting at is Dragon Types refer to Mythical Beasts, Fairy Types refer to Magical Beasts and Steel Types refer to Humans and their weapons. A perfect trio really for the Galar region.

I had a Drilbur back in White Version that was poisoned and was very close to evolving. I kept it alive and managed to evolve it while poisoned just to see what would happen. To this day, I still have a photo on my computer of my poisoned Excadrill. One of my proudest and silliest memories of Pokemon.

Fun Fact: Mega Aggron is the only Mega Evolution to lose a type upon Mega Evolving. Aggron is normally Rock/Steel, but upon Mega Evolution, it becomes a pure Steel type. Losing its Rock typing.

If we get this again, I would love to see "Flying Types: Then vs. Now" because the Flying Type was never a solo type until Gen V, and that was only one species; it was never a primary type until Gen VI, but only on one evolutionary family; and we didn't see either of those again until Rookidee and Corviknight.

Fun Sidefact. I didn't know Magnemite and Magneton were Steel Type Pokémon until Generation 6. I played the first 3 Generations the most, but I was rather young back then and I didn't know the type chart. I knew there were the original types from Gen 1 and I knew they added Steel and Dark Type Pokémon to the Game with Gen 2. But I didn't know they retroactively changed Magnemite and Magneton. Because non of the originial 150 was made into a Dark Type either. So I used to refer to Jasmine as an Electric Type Gym Leader who just for the lulz added a Steelix that was supposed to be massively overleveled. Because back then Pokémon was unfair. After all they allways had me beat in Type Advantage at some point in the game. Also I was pretty flabberghasted (funny word here btw :D) when I first saw Flamethrower doing massive damage against Magneton in X. Not to mention I felt really dumb arguing with my friends over the fact that Magnemite is just an Electric Type. 😂😂😂 Which I know now hasn't been the fact for quite a few years.....
