If the user is holding a TR item, Fling has the power of the move stored in the TR. If the stored move has no base power (for example by being a Status category img move or by having varying power) Fling will have 10 power instead.
If the flung item boosts the power of moves, Fling is also boosted if applicable.
A thrown Life Orb item img does not reduce the user's HP stat img as the user is no longer holding the item.
Throwing a berry will activate its effect for the target even if the activation requirements are not met.
There are also items that have an additional effect when thrown: A Pokémon affected by Embargo, Klutz or Magic Room can not use Fling.
  • In Gen 4 Klutz does not disable the use of Fling and a Pokémon affected by Embargo does not receive the effect of the flung item.
