Talk:Flying Press (move)

This page is create-protected. Would someone mind redirecting it to the move's page? Thanks. Miles (talk) 04:19, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

So, since this move is, for all intents and purposes, dual type, if it's used by Hawlucha, is Same Type Attack Bonus granted once or twice? Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 19:42, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Type effectiveness

Just for the record, before adding its type effectiveness to the page I experimented in-game and recorded the move's effectiveness against all Pokémon types I could find. No real surprises here, but my results were:

• Normal: 1x against Dunsparce
• Fire: 1x against Torkoal
• Water: 1x against Panpour
• Electric: 1/2x against Pikachu
• Grass: 2x against Skiddo
• Ice: 2x against Bergmite
• Fighting: 2x against Riolu
• Poison: 1/2x against Seviper
• Ground: 1x against Hippopotas
• Flying: 1/2x against Drifloon (after Foresight)
• Psychic: 1/2x against Espurr
• Bug: 1x against Metapod
• Rock: 1x against Roggenrola
• Ghost: No effect on Honedge
• Dragon: 1x against Goomy
• Dark: 2x against Absol
• Steel: 1x against Honedge (after Foresight)
• Fairy: 1/2x against Flabebe

Okay, related to the type effectiveness, should tables be put in for when it's under the effect of Electrify and Normalize for easy reference? Just a guy... Arceus42 (talk) 03:17, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

It is already on the page under the normal type effectiveness. Just click on the text called [show] to see them. --Super goku (talk) 03:28, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

If the move is used against something that's 2x weak to both Fighting and Flying, say, Abomasnow or Scrafty, will it deal 4x damage? Drake Clawfang (talk) 19:57, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes. Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 20:05, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Would it be acceptable to note this on the page, then? Drake Clawfang (talk) 20:11, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Nah, it's obvious from the type effectiveness table.--電禅Den Zen 20:38, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Is it? The table makes no mention of what happens when both types are weak or resist Flying or Fighting, or conflict. Like, a a Steel and Grass type would take 2x damage since the Flying weakness from Grass and resistance from Steel cancel out, making it weak to Fighting still. A Rock and Flying type takes .5x damage for the reverse reason. If the move is so complex as to demand a table showing the type match-up, I think it would be beneficial to denote what happens in conflicts like these.
