I was raging when I saw that rumor, but it could actually be different from what most people are expecting. Maybe dual-type moves are moves that don't have 2 types at the same time, but rather change their type during certain circumstances.
Dual Typed meas two types. If it doesn't have two types, then it isn't Dual Typed.
I get the feeling that these dual-typed moves will be more along the idea that they're classified as one type but do super-effective damage of another type.
So for example, say you've got an Electric type move, your Electric-type Pokemon will get STAB from it but it'll do Water damage instead of Electric damage. That's my vision of what these dual-type moves will be. Would be an interesting twist if you ask me, if not get a bit confusing though.
But who knows, maybe they'll be more along the lines of Scald, or actually do dual-type damage.
STAB is calculated by damaging type not original type (Hidden Power Water only gets STAB from Water Type Pokemon not Normal Typed ones). If that were the case all Normal Type Pokemon would get STAB from Hidden Power. Coding an attack to do SE damage to something it doesn't normally do wouldn't be out of the question, but that does not fit with either version of "Dual Typed Attacks"
Looks like Honedge won't be getting Levitate after all, but it does get No Guard. Since Magmaruby mentioned it may learn Guillotine, it would really make it overpowered, but thankfully, the metagame bans OHKOs.
No Guard doesn't have any effect on OHKO moves. They don't have normal accuracy checks and are based on the user's level vs opponent's level. Since it has a custom scripted accuracy No Guard doesn't effect it.
Snagem isn't Canon to the Pokemon world. Its an off bran team made by a different company. GRAMPS is for Gamefreak official teams.Team Flare's goal is to make money. But I wanted a team that plans to steal Pokemon DNA and use it on themselves, due to its genetics theme, as well as completing the GRAMPS theory (not counting Team Snagem).
