Curious. It is dual type so I was wondering. Also, does it gain double STAB.

It hits Normal, Grass, Ice, Fighting and Dark type Pokemon for super effective damage. The other type matchups can be found here on Bulbapedia.

And no, Flying Press does not give Flying/Fighting type Pokemon double the STAB bonus. Since it is a Fighting type move, only Fighting type Pokemon receive STAB from it; the Flying damage is merely a side effect.

The only Pokemon to learn this is Hawlucha.
Hypothetically speaking though, the move wouldn't have any additional STAB applied to it, be it for Hawlucha or any other Pokemon that gets the same typing in the future. I'm quite aware the move is exclusive to the one Pokemon.
Couldn't Pikachu learn that move?

I thought of the same question and all I could find was the snover line. The fighting part beats the ice part, and the flying part beats the grass part. Hope I helped

Ok, but what if you're going against an armaldo? Bug is weak against flying and resists fighting, while rock is weak against fighting while resisting flying... so, does it count as a 2x supereffectiveness? 2x weakness? Neutral damage?
Flying Press is neutral against Armaldo.
