Deals damage. Its power is determined by the user's held item. After using Fling, the item is consumed, even if the move misses because the target has protected themselves. Fails if the user has no held items, if it is holding a Mega Stone that can Mega Evolve the holder, or if used by a Giratina holding a Griseous Orb, a Arceus holding a Plate, or a Genesect holding a Drive. Also fails if the user is holding any type of Gem, Poké Ball, Mail, or the Red Orb or Blue Orb. Embargo, Klutz, Magic Room, Knock Off, and Unnerve (if the Pokémon is holding a Berry) all prevent the usage of Fling.
