Does Misty Terrain reduce the power of Dragon moves from Flying type Pokemon?
Don’t give me serebii or Showdown as a source, test it out ingame.The easiest way to do things would be to do a battle against another person. I’ll list good steps to take:
One player has Noivern with Dragon Pulse. The other player has a Florges with Misty Terrain and any other Pokemon (that isn’t Flying or Levitating or Fiary).The player with Florges leads with the other Pokemon they have. Noivern leads and hits with Dragon Pulse.Take note of how much damage was done then start a new battle.
In this new battle, lead with Florges. Noivern must not KO it. Florges uses Misty Terrain. Florges then switches out to the Pokemon you used in the previous battle, and Noivern hits it on the switch with Dragon Pulse. Take note of how much damage was done.

All Dragon type moves have their power halved in Misty Terrain, even if the user is otherwise unaffected by the terrain. Regarding this question’s scenario, Noivern’s Dragon Pulse would do half damage.
Misty Terrain (Bulbapedia)
Misty Terrain wouldn’t affect Noivern since it doesn’t touch the ground, but Dragon Pulse wouldn’t do any damage to Florges since Dragon type moves don’t affect Fairy types.
