Throwing items are items in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series that can be thrown at foes to deal damage over a distance. These items are stackable. Up to 99 items can be stacked, except in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon where up to 40 items can be stacked. As these items are stackable, the amounts below are per one item.

Most throwing items are tossed in a straight line, and damage the first Pokémon they hit. These stop after flying 10 tiles or hitting a wall (unless the user has the Long Toss or Pierce status). In Red and Blue Rescue Team, and Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, if the user is holding a Curve Band, these items will turn upon reaching a wall. Unlike straight line toss items, Geo Pebbles, Gravelerocks and Rare Fossils fly in arcs and over walls when thrown, and inflict fixed damage.

Items can be thrown when the Pokémon has the Paralyzed or CringingRBTDS/CringeGtI/FlinchSMD status. The direction of the thrown item is unaffected by the Confused status.

In Red and Blue Rescue Team, and Explorers of Darkness, Time and Sky, the IQ skill, Item Catcher, allows Pokémon to catch thrown items as long they are not holding an item. The IQ skill, Item Master, allows partner Pokémon to throw items. In Gates to Infinity, the Power-Pitching Team Skill allows items to be thrown farther than usual. The Slip-Through Team Skill allows thrown items to conveniently slip through teammates to hit an enemy behind them, or pass through enemies to hit teammates behind them.

In Super Mystery Dungeon, throwing items can be registered so that other members of the team can automatically throw items to their own accord. Holding the Water Looplet allows items to fly endlessly. Setting the emera, Piercing Throw, onto a looplet allows thrown items (except stones) to pierce through all Pokémon and walls and fly endlessly.

Enemies are also capable of throwing items. They can also catch thrown items, instead of being damaged by them.

Availability

Available throwing items vary depending on the game.
