Pet Skills Attack Patterns

So, This is something I encountered before, and just recently read some earlier posts about leveling pet skills, which makes me wonder...
My pets have multiple attack patterns and on one, there's the usual percentage plus an arrow in a colored font, so what I want to ask is does anyone know what purpose this colored font has? Is it meaning a decrease in the cast speed for the skill? or is it a detriment?

 

The blue font with arrow down signifies that the pet wont be performing optimally at the said option. Other than the affinity boost attack pattern also boost damage. Each pet is uniqe on its own and mostly best built up with skills that support it.
There is 3 options that i know off about those special attack patterns.
Blue with arrow down
Red with arrow up
Gray with "unselectable"

I also notice that the 3 options listed is a bit like proration.
1st line is for normal attack
2nd line for magic attack
3rd line for physical attack
For mochelo, it seems that it is a physical attack pet and mostly benifit using the top left corner skill as an inherited skill when you fuse him up. Also since as a regular boss he may have a boost on thumble skills for pet. But this is just a speculation and havent really gotten the time to train my own mochelo.

 

Mochelo can be tamed??

 

it's from the 3rd chapter of the hanami event

attack patterns have (invisible) types, like critical, magic and support.
when used with a non-matching skill, they have reduced effectiveness. (blue arrow down)
support skills are unaffected by the damage rate, but get an increased buff effect when used with a "support" pattern. (red arrow up)
