Description
The user throws its held item at the target. The attack deals damage and gains effects depending on the type of item thrown. If there is no target or the target avoids this move using Protect or Detect, the user's held item is still lost. Fling fails if Embargo or Magic Room is in effect for the user, if the user is Arceus with a Plate item or Giratina-O with a Griseous Orb, if the user is holding a Gem item, if the user has Klutz for an ability, if the user isn't holding an item, or if the user is holding an item which doesn't appear in the following list:

Competitive Use
Fling is most famously seen on Gliscor. Holding a Toxic Orb, Gliscor can activate its Poison Heal ability, then Fling away the Orb, potentially inflicting Toxic poison on a target. Once Gliscor is no longer holding an item, the Base Power of its STAB Acrobatics will double.
Flinging an Iron Ball generates a 130 Base Power Dark-type attack, but will halve the user's Speed until Flung. Yet, this is still an option for Pokemon that are desperate to get rid of Psychic- or Ghost-type threats and have no other move with which to break through them. An example is Hitmonlee in RU, where Flinging an Iron Ball at Misdreavus will put the Ghost into KO range of Stone Edge, where before Hitmonlee would face getting burned by Will-O-Wisp before being able to KO it.
