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
A Sky Trainer asking to have a Sky Battle with the player
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. In this event, due to a current glitch, the Sky Trainer is unable to be re-challenged or even spoken to, even if the player's eligible Pokémon are restored, until the player exits and reenters the area.
Eligible Pokémon
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 must first Mega Evolve to become Flying-type or have Levitate 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 or hovering in normal battles.
Prohibited moves
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 or Sleep Talk, a message will appear saying that it won't work well in Sky Battles.

In the anime
Sky Battles first appeared in episode XY036 of the anime. Nami defeated a Sky Trainer's Skarmory with her Talonflame. Later she fought Ash and his Hawlucha with her Talonflame and easily won. Soon after that, after defeating Team Rocket, Nami and her Talonflame fought Ash and his Fletchling, who they had previously rejected a battle with, and lost after Fletchling evolved into a Fletchinder and learned Flame Charge partway through the battle.
It is shown in the anime that during Sky Battles, trainers take to the air using special suits so they can fly alongside their Pokémon. Unlike the games in which certain flying-types or Pokémon with Levitate are restricted, Sky Battles appear to be open to any Pokémon which has the ability to fly (as both Hawlucha and Fletchling took part in one while they are disallowed in the games).
