Sky Drop glitch: Difference between revisions

It doesn't get stuck up, it gets brought down and kept immobile.
(Null edit. Ignore that last question, I didn't see that line.)

The '''Sky Drop glitch''' is a glitch in {{4v|Black|White|2}} that occurs in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s when {{m|Gravity}} is used while two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state due to {{m|Sky Drop}}. Due to the glitch, the move Sky Drop was [[Rule variants#Global Battle Union|banned in Wi-Fi Random Matches]] starting November 10, 2010 and lasted until [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] was discontinued on May 20, 2014. Sky Drop was also banned from all official tournaments using the [[Generation V]] games, such as the [[Pokémon World Championships]].

==Effect==
==Effect==
The glitch is activated when Gravity is used while two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state after Sky Drop is used. Gravity will bring the user of Sky Drop down while the target will be stuck in the semi-invulnerable state, unable to move until the user of Sky Drop is [[fainting|knocked out]] or [[Recall|switched out]]. While unable to move, the target can continue to receive other damage or status effects until freed.
If two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state after Sky Drop is used and Gravity is used, Gravity will bring both the user and the target of Sky Drop down, but the Pokémon that was the target will be unable to move until the user of Sky Drop is [[fainting|knocked out]] or [[Recall|switched out]]. [[Status conditions and other effects will still apply to the immobile Pokémon.
