Fling (Japanese: なげつける Throw) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

The power of Fling is determined by the held item. The move will fail if the user has no held item, or if the item is not one listed below. After using Fling, the item disappears--this can be problematic if Fling throws an item that can only be obtained once.

The power of Fling is calculated as:

Power Items
10 All Berries, All Incenses, All Scarves, BrightPowder, White Herb, Soothe Bell, Mental Herb, Choice Band, Silver Powder, Focus Band, Leftovers, Soft Sand, Metal Powder, Wide Lens, Muscle Band, Wise Glasses, Expert Belt, Power Herb, Quick Powder, Focus Sash, Zoom Lens, Lagging Tail, Destiny Knot, Smooth Rock, Shed Shell, Big Root, Choice Specs, Reaper Cloth
30 All Medicines, All Herbal Medicines, All Revives, All Drinks, All Ethers and Elixirs, All Repels, All Vitamins, All Shards, All Mulches, All Battle items, All Flutes, Lava Cookie, Sacred Ash, Old Gateau, Poké doll, Fluffy Tail, Shoal Salt, Shoal Shell, Escape Rope, Sun Stone, Moon Stone, Fire Stone, Thunderstone, Water Stone, Leaf Stone, Everstone, Tinymushroom, Big Mushroom, Pearl, Big Pearl, Stardust, Star Piece, Nugget, Heart Scale, Honey, Exp. Share, King's Rock, Amulet Coin, Cleanse Tag, Soul Dew, DeepSeaScale, Lucky Egg, Scope Lens, Metal Coat, Dragon Scale, Light Ball, Smoke Ball, Miracle Seed, BlackGlasses, Black Belt, Magnet, Mystic Water, NeverMeltIce, Spell Tag, TwistedSpoon, Charcoal, Up-Grade, Shell Bell, Light Clay, Life Orb, Toxic Orb, Flame Orb, Metronome, Black Sludge, Razor Fang
40 Lucky Punch, Icy Rock
50 Sharp Beak, Dubious Disc
60 Adamant Orb, Lustrous Orb, Macho Brace, Stick, Heat Rock, Damp Rock
70 Poison Barb, Dragon Fang, Power Bracer, Power Belt, Power Lens, Power Band, Power Anklet, Power Weight
80 Shiny Stone, Dusk Stone, Dawn Stone, Oval Stone, Odd Keystone, Quick Claw, Sticky Barb, Protector, Electirizer, Magmarizer, Razor Claw
90 All Plates, DeepSeaTooth, Thick Club, Grip Claw
100 All Fossils, Rare Bone, Hard Stone
130 Iron Ball

If the user hits its opponent with a Berry, the effect of the Berry will be activated. Additionally, some items will cause other effects when used with Fling:

Item Effect
Flame Orb Causes a Burn
King's Rock Causes the target to Flinch
Light Ball Paralyzes the target
Mental Herb Cures Infatuation
Poison Barb Poisons the target
Razor Fang Causes the target to Flinch
Toxic Orb Badly poisons the target
White Herb Fixes stat loss on the target

Fling will fail if used by an Arceus holding a Plate or a Giratina holding the Griseous Orb, though neither Pokémon can normally have this move. It will also fail if used when the Pokémon is holding any type of Poké Ball.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon

The user seizes the nearest enemy Pokémon and throws it into another enemy, dealing 10 damage to both parties.

Trivia

  • Fling, along with Fake Out is the only move that has a 100% chance of causing flinching, if the held item is a King's Rock or Razor Fang.
  • Fling will fail if the user is holding a Poké Ball or any variant. This is probably to prevent confusion should a flung Poké Ball hit a wild Pokémon and do damage rather than try to catch it.
