Effect

In battle

Generation I

On the turn that Fly is selected, the user will fly up high and becomesemi-invulnerable, where the only attacks it cannot avoid areBide andSwift. On the following turn, Fly will inflict damage,PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Fly is selected, the user will be unable to switch out unless Fly is disrupted or fully executed.

If Fly is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the opponent usesMirror Move during the turn that the user flies up high, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Fly (or fail if it cannot).

Fullparalysis and self-inflicted damage due toconfusion will disrupt Fly. Additionally, if the user is fully paralyzed during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly, it will not be reset until the user switches out or fully executes Fly.

FromPokémon Stadium onward, Fly will allow the user to avoidBide. Fullparalysis will reset the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly.Mirror Move will copy Fly on either of the turns it takes to execute.

Pokémon can becaught during the semi-invulnerable stage of Fly.

Generation II

The user can now be hit byGust,Thunder,Twister, andWhirlwind during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly, and will receive double damage from Gust and Twister.

The user may also be hit in the air if it was previously targeted byLock-On orMind Reader, and then struck the following turn, unless said move wasMagnitude,Earthquake, orFissure. Swift and Bide no longer hit on their own during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly.

Starting in this generation, if a Pokémon flies into the air but the battle ends before it can come down (such as from a wild Pokémon usingTeleport orSelf-Destruct), the PP was already deducted on the first turn. No additional PP will be deducted when the move hits on the second turn.

Due to a glitch in this generation only, whenLock-On orMind Reader are in effect, the movesAttract,Curse,Foresight,Mean Look,Mimic,Nightmare,Spider Web, andTransform cannot hit targets in the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly, and moves cannot lower stats of targets in the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly (status moves such asString Shot will fail, andadditional effects of moves such asBubble will not activate).

Generation III

The user can now also be hit bySky Uppercut during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly.

Magnitude,Earthquake, andFissure will now hit a Pokémon using Fly as usual when the target is under the effect of Lock-On or Mind Reader.

Generation IV

Fly's basepower wasincreased from 70 to 90. It cannot be used ifGravity is in effect, and if Gravity takes effect on the same turn Fly was used, the latter move is canceled.

The user is now unable to avoid moves used by Pokémon with the AbilityNo Guard during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly, and unable to avoid moves if it has No Guard. If the user is hit by Gust or Twister during the semi-invulnerable turn, the move's power will be doubled rather than the damage dealt (resulting in virtually the same effect).

Generation V onwards

The user can also be hit withHurricane,Smack Down, andThousand Arrows during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly. If Smack Down or Thousand Arrows hits, the user of Fly will be knocked down, cancelling the move. If the user is hit by Gust or Twister during the semi-invulnerable turn, the damage dealt will be doubled rather than the move's power (resulting in virtually the same effect).

If aPower Herb is held by the user, Fly can be executed in one turn.

Fly can hit non-adjacent opponents inTriple Battles.

Generation IX

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

The user cannot be targeted while airborne, granting full immunity to attacks until the user lands.Hurricane,Gust,Twister, andThunder cannot hit a target that is airborne.

Outside of battle

Main article:Flight

Fly is used as afield move to instantly travel to previously visited locations. Most possible Fly destinations are primarily cities and towns, but other significant locations can be flown to as well.

InPokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, players can fly to any area marked on thePokéNav Plus'sTown Map. When the player flies to aroute or a landmark, they will land in front of a sign that marks the area if there is one, or an otherwise suitable spot. In addition to theParty menu, players can use Fly through theAreaNav.

Starting inGeneration VII, Fly is no longer a field move. This function is served by thePoké RideCharizard Glide inPokémon Sun, Moon,Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon; theSecret Technique Sky Dash inPokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!; theFlying Taxi inPokémon Sword, Shield,Scarlet, and Violet; and thePokétch's Hidden Moves app inPokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

This move effect may be in need of research. Reason:Check if using Fly affects the poisoned Pokémon the same way in later generations You candiscuss this on the talk page.

InGeneration I, using Fly resets the counting of steps related to how apoisoned Pokémon loses HP in the overworld. Therefore, the poisoned Pokémon will lose 1 HP four steps after the latest use of Fly.

In other games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Fly gives the user theflying status on the first turn. While the user is in the air, the Pokémon cannot be hit by moves (except moves such as Gust, Thunder, Twister and Sky Uppercut). Projectiles will also pass the user as if their tile was empty. On the second turn, the user attacks the enemy in front. In theRescue Team,Explorers andAdventure Squad series, the move's damage is doubled at the end of damage calculation.

Due to it being a two-turn move, this move cannot be linked. Fly cannot be used in aPokémon Tower in theAdventure Squad series.

When used by aGigantic Pokémon inGates to Infinity, Fly has a base PP of 20, base accuracy of 90%, and the user can move to hit an enemy anywhere in the room.

Super Smash Bros. series

Fly isCharizard's up special. It cloaks itself in fire as it rotates in the air while gaining height, damaging nearby enemies. It acts as a recovery move for returning to the stage.

Moltres's Trophy states that it uses Fly when summoned from a Poké Ball. However, this instance of the move is much more similar to the flying action that a bird makes, rather than the actual move Fly.

TheSmash Bros. DOJO!!, the official website forSuper Smash Bros. Brawl states thatMew,Celebi, andJirachi all use Fly when leaving the screen after being summoned from a Poké Ball, however, of the three,only Mew can learn it in the core series.^[1]
