Talk:Fling (move)

Flinging Balls

Since they're not listed, should I assume trying to use Fling while holding any sort of Pokeball causes the move to fail?--PikamasterADV 02:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Good question. I shall test this. TTEchidna 08:36, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Lost for good?

Do you get the item back after the battle? If so, it is automatically re-equipped to the pokémon, or does it go back into your Bag? ~ Serial Colour 02:04, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

No. It is lost forever. I tried it with Leftovers. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 02:05, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Unless it's used in something like the Battle Frontier or PBR. TTEchidna 22:29, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Berry

When flinging berries, the effect goes on the opponent or the user? ^ht14 17:38, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

I would suspect the opponent, since the user is discarding the held item. Kevin Y (talk) 17:58, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Wifi battles

Do you lose the item you fling in wifi battles too? Or is it just in-game? Flyingtypefan 03:13, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

No, you recover the item you fling after wifi battles, but the flung item is gone for the rest of the battle. A person wrote this at 01:00, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Dread Plate/Blackglasses

If you use Fling while holding Dread Plate or Blackglasses, do they still boost its power by 20%? Dragoness 06:36, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

This is exactly what I want to ask, too. Will the power boost occur? - Pokémon _Questions? -- 01:11, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Gem

What about the 17 Gems?--- Pokémon _Questions? -- 01:16, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

This can't be right...

This page says that Fling will fail if the held item is not listed there. However, Lady Celeste often flings her rare candy. Tk3141 23:18, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Marowak and Fling

Putting competitive use aside, if a Marowak holding a Thick Club uses Fling, would Marowak's attack remain doubled during the attack, or is its attack halved before calculating Fling's damage? Brilliance360 (talk) 18:56, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
