So, do we fully know how flying press works?
Cause I seem to have missed that.

Does hawlucha get double stab?
If not, isn't it just a normal fighting move, since shedinja is still immune to it?
I don't get it.

single stab (fighting)

2x against types that are weak to either type but don't resist the other
1/2 against types that resist either type and are not weak to the other
0x against types that are immune to one of the types

Matchup wise, is Flying Press an improvement over a just-Fighting or just-Flying move?

no, it's only use would be as a decent compromise to have both stabs in one moveslot (for like a mono attack booster), but hawlucha has no need to run that and is better off using individual stabs that are stronger.

Nah, Hawlucha's best set is SD/Sky Attack/HJK/Acrobatics with a Power Herb and Unburden. The only things that resist its STAB are Aegislash, regular Rotom, Zapdos, Dedenne and Mawile off the top of my head.

Mawile doesn't resist Fighting, its neutral.

Scrafty and Heracross are both 4X weak, and maybe a few others. Shiftry, I think.

Supposedly Normalize would turn it into Normal/Flying. So if you're in an Inverse Battle against Aggron, add a Ghost-type to him with Trick-or-Treat, then finally use a STAB-powered Normalized Flying Press, you'd do x FORTY-EIGHT damage.

Normal against Rock x2
Normal against Steel x4
Normal against Ghost x8
Flying against Rock x16
Flying against Steel x32
finally STAB x48

Now if only we could actually put that to practical use...

Heracross should be 2X weak, shouldn't he?

fighting -> bug = 1/2
fighting -> fighting = 1
flying -> bug = 2
flying -> fighting = 2

1/2 x 1 x 2 x 2 = 2

I give him a power herb and sky attack. Sky attack on the first turn, uses the herb, activates unburden, you outspeed pretty much everything. I use it with acrobatics and HJK. It's really scary

What would be the most effective type combination for a dual-type move? Rock/Ice?

As far as I know, the only site to have it correct from the start.

Adamant

It already has good speed and it can go even faster with Unburden.

And Sawsbuck,Meloetta-P, Abomasnow, Weavile, and the Grass Fighters and Darks.

Come to think of it Hawlucha using it on a Meloetta-P may look amusing....
