On Smogon's Movedex:

Sky Drop (Japanese: フリーフォール Freefall) is a damage-dealing Flying-type move introduced in Generation V. It has been TM58 since Generation V.

Effect

Generation V

On the turn it is selected, Sky Drop brings the target to the air. While in the air, the target cannot act. While in the air, both the user and the target avoid any move targeted at them (except Gust, Thunder, Twister, Sky Uppercut, Hurricane, or Smack Down). The next turn, the target is thrown down and receives damage. Sky Drop does no damage to Flying-type Pokémon, but it will still pick them up (making them unable to move) on its first turn.

Sky Drop can target non-adjacent Pokémon in Triple Battles. Sky Drop can target allies, but will fail when attempting to perform the move on them.

The Ability No Guard or a previously used Lock-On or Mind Reader can still allow moves to hit Pokémon that are in the air.

Sky Drop will fail if the target is behind a substitute, or if used on a target that is already semi-invulnerable due to moves such as Fly, Bounce, or another Sky Drop.

Sky Drop cannot be used while Gravity is in effect. If Gravity is used during the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop, the move will be cancelled. In Generation V only, due to a glitch, if Gravity is used while two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state of Sky Drop, Gravity will bring the user of Sky Drop down, but the target of Sky Drop will be stuck unable to move in the semi-invulnerable state, until the effect of Gravity ends, the user of Sky Drop switches out or is knocked out, or the Pokémon affected by Sky Drop is knocked out. This can only occur in Double and Triple Battles.

If a Pokémon locked into a consecutively executed move is brought up with Sky Drop, the Pokémon will discontinue using the move when freed; if the move confuses the user due to fatigue upon completion, that will occur now.

Protect and Detect can guard against the initial use of the move, but the affected Pokémon cannot use any moves (including Protect) while in the air.

Sky Drop is unaffected by the Power Herb.

Sky Drop is not redirected by the effects of Follow Me or Rage Powder. If a Pokémon that is the center of attention (due to Follow Me or Rage Powder) is taken into the air by Sky Drop, it will no longer draw moves.

In a Rotation Battle, if the target Pokémon is rotated out on the second turn of Sky Drop, the Pokémon will be dropped into their new rotated position and take no damage, while the rotated in Pokémon still gets to attack.

Glitch

Main article: Sky Drop glitch

In Black, White, Black 2, and White 2, a glitch in Double and Triple Battles can cause a Pokémon to become stuck in the semi-invulnerable state when Sky Drop is used. The glitch is activated when Gravity is used while two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state after the use of Sky Drop. Gravity will bring the user of Sky Drop down while the target will be stuck in the semi-invulnerable state, unable to move until it is knocked out or hit with one of the moves listed above. Because of the glitch, Sky Drop was banned in Generation V Wi-Fi Random Matches starting November 10, 2010 and all subsequent official tournaments.

Generation VI

Targets weighing 440.9 lbs. (200 kg) or more cannot be lifted by Sky Drop, causing the move to fail.

Both the user and the target can now be hit by Thousand Arrows during the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop.
