  • flying press is currently the only move that can do dual-type damage, but there are a lot of other moves that could conceivably be dual-typed. fire punch could be fire and fighting, for example. what move(s) would you make dual type?

  • The <Type> Fang moves should be <Type>/Dark.

    Same for the <Type> Punch moves, except <Type>/Fighting.

    Steel Wing should be Steel/Flying, Avalanche should be Ice/Rock.

    Dragon Rage, Dragon/Fire; Dragon Pulse, Dragon/Water

    Eruption, Fire/Rock

    Many moves unique to a single Pokemon could share it's typing.

    Earth Power, I think it classified as Fire/Ground dual-type hense it erupts something.
    Scald be best as Water/Fire as the moves was hot water, you can't heat water without heating it first so needs fire

  • Freeze-Dry also does dual type damage, though I suppose it is only towards Water types in addition to the normal Ice weak types.

    As for other dual type moves, going along with idea of Scald being Water/Fire, I'd say Steam Eruption should be a Water/Fire move. I know I'd feel like I was on fire after getting hit by one of those attacks.

  • bonemerang would be kinda cool as a ground/flying (or even just full flying, but i assume it can't be that since it's a signature move for cubone). i always felt, despite matching cubone's typing, having it be ground alone made no sense.

    Sky uppercut should be fighting and flying. Syncronoise should be the Pokemon's typing and not just psychic

    I want to add two more. Blaze Kick to deal Fire/Fighting damage, and Mystical Fire to deal Fire/Psychic damage.

  • Solgaleo's signature move Sunsteel Strike totally needs to be Fire/Steel, since that's what the move's animation suggests.
