Fling (Japanese: なげつける Throw) is a Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation IV. Its power varies depending on the item flung.

Effect

The power of Fling is determined by the 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 disappears--this can be problematic if Fling throws an item that can only be obtained once.

The power of Fling is calculated as:
