'''Fling''' (Japanese: '''なげつける''' ''Fling'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

 

It is:

* [[TM56]] from Generation IV to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.

* [[TM59]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

* [[TM043]] in [[Generation IX]].

{{MoveResearch|The following items are missing, or the damage dealt is unknown: [[Max Honey]] and [[Wishing Chip]]. Can {{p|Ogerpon}} throw his own [[Hearthflame Mask|Masks]]?}}

Fling inflicts damage; the power of the move is determined by the user's [[held item]].

 

The power of Fling based on the held item is detailed in the following table.

If the user holds a [[TR]], Fling's power is equal to the power of the move the TR contains, unless the move does not list a specific power (i.e. it is a [[status move]] or has {{cat|Moves that have variable power|variable power}} with no default power), in which case it has 10 power. Due to this, {{TR|71|Leaf Storm}} and {{TR|43|Overheat}} match the Iron Ball in producing the maximum possible Fling power of 130.

 

If the user's held item can boost the power of moves (such as the [[Black Glasses]] or [[Life Orb]]), the power of Fling is boosted by the held item accordingly (if applicable). Because the user is no longer holding the item after using the move, the Life Orb does not reduce the user's HP when it boosts the power of Fling.

If a Pokémon holding a Berry uses Fling, that Berry will activate for the target (even if its usual trigger condition is not satisfied). Additionally, some other items have special effects when a Pokémon holding them uses Fling:

|{{bag/s|Flame Orb|SV}} [[Flame Orb]]

|{{bag/s|King's Rock|SV}} [[King's Rock]]

|Causes the target to [[flinch]]

|{{bag/s|Light Ball|SV}} [[Light Ball]]

|{{bag/s|Mental Herb|SV}} [[Mental Herb]]

|Cures the effects of {{status|infatuation}}, {{m|Taunt}}, {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Torment}}, {{m|Disable}}, and {{m|Heal Block}} from the target<br />In Generation IV, only cures infatuation

|{{bag/s|Poison Barb|SV}} [[Poison Barb]]

|{{bag/s|Razor Fang|SV}} [[Razor Fang]]

|Causes the target to [[flinch]]

|{{bag/s|Toxic Orb|SV}} [[Toxic Orb]]

|{{bag/s|White Herb|SV}} [[White Herb]]

{{m|Embargo}}, {{a|Klutz}} (from [[Generation V]] onward), and {{m|Magic Room}} all prevent the usage of 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, the item's effect will not activate.

Fling can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if {{m|Celebrate}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Happy Hour}}, or {{m|Wish}} was used in the prior turn.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series, Fling is a [[status move]] that sends the enemy in front flying across the room. If there is another enemy Pokémon in range, the target will collide, causing both Pokémon to take 10 HP damage. Despite being classified as a status move, it is only affected by {{m|Taunt}} in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]].

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], using Fling opens the inventory and allows the leader to choose an item to fling (excluding held items). It only works when a visible enemy is within a fan-shaped area up to 10 tiles in front. Like [[Gravelerock]]s, the item will be flung in an arc, but otherwise has the same effect as when thrown normally. Partner Pokémon can use this move to fling their held item. Though Fling is listed as a status move, it is unaffected by {{a|Prankster}}.

 

===Pokémon Adventures===

* Fling is one of two moves with a 100% chance of causing flinching (if holding a King's Rock or Razor Fang), the other being {{m|Fake Out}}.

* Fling is the only {{type|Dark}} move able to cause {{status|paralysis}} (if holding a [[Light Ball]]), a {{status|burn}} (if holding a [[Flame Orb]]), or {{status|poison}}ing (if holding a [[Poison Barb]] or [[Toxic Orb]]).

* In the anime, Fling can also be used to throw the remains of attacks, such as when [[Bianca's Emboar]] flung the remains of [[Trip]]'s {{p|Conkeldurr}}'s {{m|Stone Edge}} at it. It can also be used to throw the opponent.
