Fly (Japanese: そらをとぶ Take to the Sky) is a slightly inaccurate damage-dealing Flying-type move introduced in Generation I. It is HM02 in all generations.

Effect

Generation I

In battle

On the turn that Fly is selected, the user will fly up high, where the only attacks it can't avoid are Bide, Swift, Thunder, Twister, Sky Uppercut, and Transform. On the following turn, Fly will do damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Fly is selected, the user will not be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.

If Fly is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the opponent uses Mirror Move during the turn that the user flies up high, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Fly (or fail if it can't).

Full paralysis and getting hurt due to confusion will disrupt Fly. Additionally, if the user is fully paralyzed during the mostly-invulnerable turn of Fly, the mostly-invulnerable part will not be reset until the user switches out or fully executes Dig or Fly.

In Pokémon Stadium, Fly will allow the user to avoid damage reversed by Bide. Full paralysis will reset the mostly-invulnerable part of Fly. Mirror Move will copy Fly on either of the turns it takes to execute.

Outside of battle

Players can warp to select spots they've been to, usually outside the entrance to a town's Pokémon Center.
