If an effect refers to the battle icons you've flipped, can that effect see a hybrid icon if the character doesn't match its trait?

Yes. For example, Mindwipe - Hypnotist (body mode) is a melee character that has an ability that triggers "when this attacks and flip at least one black battle icon." If Mindwipe attacks and you flip
Master of Metallikato (a battle card with a black ranged battle icon), Mindwipe's ability will trigger, even though the black battle icon will have no effect.
Can I make my opponent scrap a card with a hybrid battle icon of the color I chose?

Yes. Hybrid battle icons count as their color.
