The power of Fling is determined by the user's [[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 is consumed, even if the target has protected themselves with a move like {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}.

Fling will fail if used by an {{p|Arceus}} holding a [[Plate]], a {{p|Giratina}} holding the [[Griseous Orb]], a {{p|Genesect}} holding a [[Drive]], or a {{p|Silvally}} holding a [[memory]]. Fling will fail if used by a Pokémon holding a [[Mega Stone]] that allows it to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. It will also fail if the Pokémon is holding an [[Ability Capsule]], a [[Festival Ticket]], [[Red Orb]] or [[Blue Orb]], or any type of [[Apricorn]], [[Gem]], [[Poké Ball]], [[Mail]], or [[Z-Crystal]]. {{m|Embargo}}, {{a|Klutz}} (from Generation V onward), {{m|Magic Room}}, and {{a|Unnerve}} (if the Pokémon is holding a Berry) all prevent the usage of Fling. In Generation IV only, if the target of Fling is under the effect of Embargo, the item's effect will not activate.
