Sky Attack (Japanese: ゴッドバード God Bird) is a slightly inaccurate and very highly-damaging Flying-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect
Generation I
Sky Attack has a 9.8% chance of causing the target to flinch, and it also has a high critical ratio.
Sky Attack does nothing on the turn it is selected, other than say that the user is glowing. On the following turn, Sky Attack will do damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Sky Attack is selected, the user won't be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.
If Sky Attack is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the opponent uses Mirror Move during the turn that the user is glowing, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Sky Attack (or fail if it can't).
Sleep, freeze, partial trapping, and flinching will pause but not disrupt the duration of Sky Attack.
In Stadium, Mirror Move will copy Sky Attack on either of the turns it takes to execute.
Generation II and on
Same as Generation I, but with a 10% chance of causing flinching instead.
