Revision as of 04:04, 30 November 2013
A Sky Battle (Japanese: スカイバトル Sky Battle) is a type of Pokémon battle introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Sky Battles consist of two Pokémon battling each other in the air instead of on land or sea. However, because of this, only certain Flying types and certain Pokémon with the Ability Levitate are eligible for Sky Battles.
In the games
At certain points in the game, the player can encounter Sky Trainers on top of cliffs or other distant areas who will challenge them to a Sky Battle. All Sky Battles are optional, since the player may not have any eligible Pokémon to use. If all eligible Pokémon in the battle faint, the player will black out, but will resume the game standing where they were before battle.
Eligible Pokémon
This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: complete list |
Many Flying-type Pokémon and Pokémon with the Ability Levitate are eligible for Sky Battles. They do not lose eligibility even if Mega Evolution or a move like Roost or Gastro Acid leaves them exposed to Ground-type moves. The Iron Ball and Air Balloon have no effect on eligibility. Pokémon that would only be Flying-type or have Levitate after Mega Evolving are not eligible. If a Pokémon can have Levitate as one of multiple Abilities and is not Flying-type, it will only be eligible if it has Levitate.
Ineligible Flying types and levitating Pokémon
Certain Flying types and Pokémon with Levitate are ineligible for Sky Battles. These Pokémon are not shown flying in normal battles.

Prohibited moves
This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. |
Certain moves are not permitted to be used in Sky Battles. If a Pokémon's only usable moves are prohibited, the Pokémon will use Struggle if it attempts to attack. If one of these moves is called by Metronome, a message will appear saying that it won't work well in Sky Battles.
