How it works in Champions

This move combines Flying in its type effectiveness against the target. Damage doubles and no accuracy check is done if the target has used Minimize while active.

“The user dives down onto the target from the sky. This move is Fighting and Flying type simultaneously.”
In-game text, Scarlet & Violet
