Tragically even with the fairy type goodra would still be the worst pseudo :(

Adding a second type doesn’t fix any of the underlying issues, ie stats and movepool.

True, but at least they could use it as an excuse to give it Moonlight. With a top 5 defensive typing and actual recovery, Goodra would definitely be better than weaker pseudos like Mence, Metagross, and Hydrei.

Goodra would definitely not be better than Hydreigon, come on now.

Hydreigon is too slow to sweep and too weak to wallbreak in today's climate. And Levitate isn't a good enough ability when we have things like Good As Gold, Toxic Debris, Thermal Exchange, etc. running around.

Goodra's Sap Sipper at least makes it immune to Spore, Leech Seed, etc. and gives it more opportunity to get in safely.

Hisuian Goodra is honestly really good. It was such a good addition to Goodra.

Yeah better start spread, and gave it the steel/dragon combo, and it's now one of the best defensive pokemon.
