Fling (move)

Fling is a damage-dealing Dark-Type physical move. It is the TM56, found in Dulfern Forest.

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 is consumed, even if the target has protected themselves with a move like Protect or Detect.

Base Power
Additionally, Black Glasses, Dread Plate, Muscle Band, Choice Band, Expert Belt and Life Orb may still boost the power of Fling while thrown. Life orb doesn't reduce hp. If the user hits the opponent with a berry, the berry's effect will be activated even if the conditions for the effect's activation is otherwise not met.
