A '''Sky Battle''' (Japanese: '''{{j|スカイバトル}}''' ''Sky Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] exclusive to {{g|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 {{t|Flying}} types and certain Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Levitate}} are eligible for Sky Battles. | |||

At certain points in the game, the player can encounter {{tc|Sky Trainer}}s 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, 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. | At certain points in the game, the player can encounter {{tc|Sky Trainer}}s on top of cliffs or other distant areas who will challenge them to a Sky Battle.

Sky Battles | Sky Battles appeared in ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]''. An expert Sky Trainer called [[Moria]] was seen defeating another Sky Trainer's {{p|Skarmory}} with her {{p|Talonflame}}. Later, {{Ash}} challenged Moria to a Sky Battle, wanting to use his {{p|Fletchling}} against Talonflame. Although Moria accepted the offer, Talonflame was shown being unwilling to battle against its pre-evolved form, forcing Ash to use his {{AP|Hawlucha}} instead. Even through Hawlucha tried its best, it was defeated rather easily. After that, {{TRT}} showed up, trying to steal Talonflame, but were soon defeated. Afterwards, Talonflame, being thankful for Ash's Fletchling for saving it, accepted Fletchling's battle challenge. Even though Fletchling was almost defeated by Talonflame's {{m|Fire Blast}}, it [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{AP|Fletchinder}} and learned {{m|Flame Charge}} partway through the battle, allowing Ash to gain the victory. | ||
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 {{a|Levitate}} are restricted, Sky Battles appear to be open to any Pokémon which has the ability to fly; both {{p|Hawlucha}} and {{p|Fletchling}} took part in the anime, which cannot participate in the games. Hawlucha also used {{m|Flying Press}}, a move which is prohibited in the games, although it missed. | During Sky Battles, Trainers take to the air using special suits so they can fly alongside their Pokémon.

Sky Battles first appeared in ''[[PS571|Burning Fletchinder]]''. While flying on a helicopter, {{adv|X}}, {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and [[Cassius]] were attacked by a group of Sky Trainers led by [[Yvette]]. Commanding a herd of {{p|Vivillon}}, they attacked the helicopter with {{m|Hurricane}}, forcing Y to go out and battle with them. Y flew away from the helicopter to prevent it from being attacked, but Yvette caught up to her and started to bully her, while her Vivillon battled [[Fletchy]]. Y finally fought back as Fletchy evolved into {{p|Fletchinder}}, who defeated Vivillon with {{m|Flame Charge}}. At the same time, X and the others saw [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}, realizing that all the Sky Trainers were under its mind control. After X had [[Élec]] defeat it with {{m|Discharge}}, the Sky Trainers were freed from its control. | Sky Battles first appeared in ''[[PS571|Burning Fletchinder]]''.
