On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VI Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

Flying Press (Japanese: フライングプレス Flying Press) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type move introduced in Generation VI. It is the signature move of Hawlucha.

Effect

Flying Press deals damage and has no secondary effect. Despite being a Fighting-type move, the damage dealt is actually a combination of Fighting and Flying types, and thus its effectiveness against a given Pokémon differs from other Fighting-type moves (but only Fighting-type Pokémon can receive the same-type attack bonus on Flying Press).

If Flying Press is used while under the effect of Electrify or Normalize, damage is calculated using Flying type and Electric or Normal type modifiers instead.

If the target has used Minimize, Flying Press will never miss and its base power is doubled.
