Fling fails if used by an {{p|Arceus}} holding a [[Plate]], a {{p|Giratina}} holding the [[Griseous Orb]], a {{p|Genesect}} holding a [[Drive]], a {{p|Silvally}} holding a [[Memory]], a Pokémon holding a [[Mega Stone]] that allows it to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], or a [[Paradox Pokémon]] holding [[Booster Energy]] (excepting {{p|Koraidon}} or {{p|Miraidon}}). {{m|Embargo}}, {{a|Klutz}} (from Generation V onward), and {{m|Magic Room}} all prevent the usage of Fling; {{a|Unnerve}} prevents a Pokémon holding a Berry from using Fling. In Generation IV only, if the target of Fling is under the effect of Embargo and the user was holding an item with a special effect, then that item's effect will not activate.
