Fly is a -type move introduced in Generation I. It is part of HM02 in most generations, though in generation VII, it is TM76, and in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, it is TM14.
Effect
When the move is used in battle, the user soars, avoiding the opponent's attack, then it strikes on the second turn, inflicting a lot of damage. However, Thunder, Sky Uppercut, Twister, Hurricane, Stone Edge, and Gust inflict double the damage on a Pokémon using Fly.
Fly is also a field move. In games prior to Generation VII, Fly can be used to fly into cities, towns, and locations that have a Pokémon Center. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Fly can be used to any marked locations on the map except Southern Island.

Trivia
- As of Generation V, several Pokémon that do not have the -type or Levitate have become able to learn Fly, such as Golurk and Volcarona.
- Fly was removed in Generation VII, which removed HMs and replaced them with Poké Ride and Secret Technique.
- In Generation VIII, Corviknight was introduced as a Taxi Pokémon that could transport the player in a manner similar to Fly.
- It bears a resemblance to the black bird sprite seen in earlier games.
