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 disappears--this can be problematic if Fling throws an item that can only be obtained once.
The power of Fling is calculated as:

If the user hits its opponent with a Berry, the effect of the Berry will be activated. Additionally, some items will cause other effects when used with Fling:
Item Effect
Flame Orb Causes a Burn
King's Rock Causes the target to Flinch
Light Ball Paralyzes the target
Mental Herb Cures Infatuation
Poison Barb Poisons the target
Razor Fang Causes the target to Flinch
Toxic Orb Badly poisons the target
White Herb Fixes stat loss on the target
Fling will fail if used by an Arceus holding a Plate or a Giratina holding the Griseous Orb, though neither Pokémon can normally have this move. It will also fail if used when the Pokémon is holding any type of Poké Ball.
