Fly (Japanese: そらをとぶ Fly) is a damage-dealing Flying-type move introduced in Generation I. It is HM02 in Generations I through VI and TM76 in Generation VII.

Effect

In battle

Generation I

On the turn that Fly is selected, the user will fly up high, where the only attacks it cannot avoid are Bide, Swift, and Transform. On the following turn, Fly will inflict damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Fly is selected, the user will be unable to switch out unless Fly is disrupted or fully executed.

If Fly is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the opponent uses Mirror Move during the turn that the user flies up high, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Fly (or fail if it cannot).

Full paralysis and self-inflicted damage due to confusion will disrupt Fly. Additionally, if the user is fully paralyzed during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly, it will not be reset until the user switches out or fully executes Fly.

From Pokémon Stadium onward, Fly will allow the user to avoid Bide. Full paralysis will reset the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly. Mirror Move will copy Fly on either of the turns it takes to execute.

Pokémon can be caught during the semi-invulnerable stage of Fly.

Generations II and III

The user can now also be hit by Gust, Sky Uppercut, Thunder, Twister, and Whirlwind during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly, and will receive double damage from Gust and Twister.

The user may also be hit in the air if it was previously targeted by Lock-On or Mind Reader, and then struck the following turn. Swift, Bide and Transform no longer hit on their own during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly.

Generation IV onwards

Fly's base power was increased from 70 to 90. The user is now unable to avoid moves used by Pokémon with the Ability No Guard during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly, and unable to avoid moves if it has No Guard. It can also be hit with Hurricane, Smack Down and Thousand Arrows. If Smack Down or Thousand Arrows hits, the user of Fly will be knocked down, cancelling the move.

If a Power Herb is held by the user, Fly can be executed in one turn.

Fly can hit non-adjacent opponents in Triple Battles.

Outside of battle

Players can fly to locations they have visited. Most possible Fly destinations are places with Pokémon Centers, primarily cities and towns, but other significant locations can be flown to as well. Generally, simply entering a flyable location is all that is required to be able to use Fly for that location. There are some exceptions, however, such as Opelucid City in Black and White where the player must first view the Team Plasma event, Lacunosa Town in Black 2 and White 2 where the player must first encounter Professor Juniper and Bianca, and Ever Grande City in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald where the player must first climb the waterfall. The Johto Battle Frontier, by contrast, can automatically be accessed after the National Pokédex is obtained.

Using Fly usually lands the player in front of an area's Pokémon Center. If the location lacks a Pokémon Center, however, a suitable spot is otherwise used. These locations are detailed below.

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Players can fly to any area marked on the PokéNav Plus's Town Map except Southern Island, Seafloor Cavern, and the Cave of Origin. When the player flies to a route, or a landmark such as Sea Mauville, they will land in front of a sign that marks the area if there is one. In addition to the Party menu, players can use Fly through the AreaNav.

If the location lacks both a Pokémon Center and a sign for the location, another suitable spot is used.

Littleroot Town	between Brendan and May's houses

Sun and Moon

As of Pokémon Sun and Moon, Fly can no longer be used outside of battle, being replaced with Charizard Glide.

Super Smash Bros. series

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: any other instances in the Smash series

Charizard uses Fly as its Up Special move. It cloaks itself in fire as it rotates in the air while gaining height, damaging nearby enemies. It acts as a recovery move for returning to the stage. Moltres's Trophy states that it uses Fly when summoned from a Pokéball. However, this instance of the move is much more similar to the flying action that a bird makes, rather than the actual move Fly.

Trivia

• In Pokémon Colosseum, Charizard and Salamence dive into the ground on the second turn of Fly.
• Many Pokémon noted for their ability to fly over long distances are unable to learn this move, such as Yanmega, which is easily capable of transporting an adult in flight according to its Pokédex entry from HeartGold. Conversely, some of the Pokémon that can learn Fly, like Pidgey, appear to lack the physique required to transport a human being in flight, and Vullaby can learn it even though all of its Pokédex entries outside of Pokémon White and Pokémon Sun state that its wings are too small for it to fly.
• Doduo and Dodrio are both able to learn Fly, despite being based on flightless birds. If they use Fly in the 3D side-series games, they will be shown running in midair.
• In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, Fly cannot travel between even the closest of areas in Kanto and Johto, despite being able to fly over either of the regions. This is most evident at Mt. Silver and Route 27 (the latter of which being adjacent to New Bark Town). In HeartGold and SoulSilver, this was changed so that any area in either region can be flown to from Indigo Plateau and Route 26.
• While there are 14 Bug/Flying-type Pokémon, none of them can learn Fly. In fact, the only two Bug-type Pokémon that can learn Fly (Volcarona and Genesect) are not Flying-type.
