Wait. Do we already know what Mystic Flame does?

Yeah, but when Mega Aerodactyl comes in, it might have a completely different moveset, or one similar, but with a few moves it couldn't learn before. It might be more useful in OU, or it might suck in OU. We won't know until X and Y comes out anyway. (LOL forgot there was a reply button)
65 bp, lowers target's special attack
I think it does damage with a chance of/and always lowers Special Attack.
I hope Mega Aerodactyl means that GameFreak gives Aero a really good attack stat, 5 more speed, and Head Smash/Brave Bird. It's not asking for a lot...
I bet they make it basically a fast Tyrantrum clone though... Or something dumb

How dare you use the anime as a basis for what's canon in the games Do I have to mention the Horn again?
Also, Cameron is an idiot.
STAB is just a made up name by the community
those are some weird percentages, but i think we can conclude that it's either going to do this damage or the damage i posted (0x, .5x, 2x)
the pokemon community only made an acronym for what nintendo already stated
Frogidier evolving into Greninja:
More leaning toward Water Shuriken being a signature move because it learns it the second it evolves. I still hope Cloyster gets it, but it looks like the starters could get these moves to themselves. It's happened before.
The exact wording is "simultaneously".
Ludicolo is simultaneously water and grass, but when a fire move is used it is not (2+0.5)/2= 1.25 damage.
What part of the the sentence "this move is flying and fighting type simultaneously" implies to you that the damage is split an averaged instead of doing the logical thing and finding the product? The last time I checked simultaneous events are not split, they happen at the same time.
Most likely that is not the case. Looking at Flying Press, it is labeled as a fighting move, although it deals fighting/flying simultaneously. Fighting types get STAB from it, and only gains STAB from the fighting part of it, given the move label.
Perhaps, but the acronym made up by the community came from what it does...a bonus when a pokemon's type matches the attack's type.
I'm just throwing this out there as another logical theory for how this mechanic might work. I also believe the fighting side only getting STAB based on the screenshot is a completely reasonable theory.
Until the games come out, that's all this really is. Theory.
"Before everyone starts getting ridiculous with dual typed speculation.........
........Let me get ridiculous with speculation first."
If Flying Press hits gengar, then I will send you a letter of apology.
If we take the descriptions litterally is not half and half it says simultaneously flying and fighting damage. In my opinion it's the same as when we calculate a monotype and monodamage attack on a dual type pokemon the only difference is that now instead of calculating 2 types in defense now we calculate 2 in attack, and the only discriminant of the stab is the type of the attack. I think also we won't have the problem of muddy water being 2 types because if you see flying and fighting doesn't have a type on wich both are supereffective, it's not just a case imo and I think Game Freak has thought a lot on what dual types move to do and what not to do, to not ruin the metagame.
Very rough numbers here. Level 20 isn't ideal for base stats but it looks like:Mega Aerodactyl
Mega Aerodacyl
Base 80/120/80/75/80/160? Assuming neutral nature.
Again, very, very rough.
I agree with your reasoning, but we need to remember that it's unlikely that even Game Freak would go with a mechanic that broken with damage multipliers into the x16-x32. Perhaps they would put a cap on it (x4-8 max maybe).
Fighting and Flying share no SEs. Rock, Steel, Ice, Normal, Dark; Fighting, Grass, Bug.
Has over 130 Spe (also increased Atk).Mega Aerodactyl
Abomasnow.
That's only a 4x SE, even with double STAB (which seems unlikely) that's only 9x Multiplier. There are pokemon with 12x weaknesses including STAB.
Gengar was the only one I wasn't sure of because Ghost immunity might take over everything.
However, I still highly doubt that a Fairy/Ice attack for example will deal 8x damage to Flying/Dragons... That's just too ridiculous. Fighting/Ground moves dealing 8x to Tyranitar... Yea right.
