So after stepping into a discussion about transferring a Machamp with the move one hit KO move Fissure from the recently released virtual console versions of the first generation of games to a new generation to compensate for it's 30% accuracy with No Guard.
My question is whether No Guard will allow a move to affect a target that is otherwise immune due to typing as in the above discussion by using Fissure against a flying type.
No Guard does not ignore type immunities (such as a Ground type move against a Flying type or a Fighting type move against a Ghost type), as can be tested in game with a current No-Guard Machamp using a Fighting move against a Ghost type.
However, it does ignore invulnerability in that No-Guard allows a Pokemon to hit another in the invulnerability phase of Fly, Bounce, Dive, etc (as long as the move would normally affect the target).
