Flying Press?

[DL Kurosh]

I'm adding all the 6 gen. Pokémon to my game, and i'm near Hawlucha, and i was wondering how to implement Flying Press.

If you don't know what Flying Press is, it's a fighting type move which the damage dealt is a combination of Fighting and Flying types.

I was thinking of creating a new type just for this move and adding to all the others types the respective weakness/resistance, but then Hawlucha wouldn't receive the STAB from it.

TL;DR (although it's not a long text): How do i add Flying Press to my game?

You could just do what you said, and then add a new move effect that doesn't do anything

################################################################################
# No additional effect.
################################################################################
class PokeBattle_Move_XXX < PokeBattle_Move #next available number
end

then just give it the multiplier

if @function==0xXXX && isConst?(attacker.species,PBSpecies,:HAWLUCHA) #XXX is function code
basedmg*=(3/2)  #does Hawlucha get double STAB from it?
end

Oh yeah, that makes sense xD i don't know how i missed that.

Thanks a lot! =)

end

Where should I put this code？

if @function==0xXXX && isConst?(attacker.species,PBSpecies,:HAWLUCHA) #XXX is function code
basedmg*=(3/2) #does Hawlucha get double STAB from it?
end

In addition, If the target has used Minimize, Flying Press will never miss and its base power is doubled.
How to deal with it？

I'd put it in PokeBattle_Move under the Iron Fist section


For the minimize thing, add this to the move effect

def pbModifyDamage(damage,attacker,opponent)
    damage*=2 if opponent.effects[PBEffects::Minimize]
    return damage
  end

I think there's other things flying press does, but I'm not too concerned tbh lol
