'''Sky Drop''' (Japanese: '''フリーフォール''' ''Free Fall'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It was [[TM58]] from Generation V to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.


==Effect==
==Effect==
On the turn it is selected, Sky Drop brings the target to the air. While in the air, both the user and the target will be unable to take action and will avoid any move targeted at them except {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Twister}}, {{m|Sky Uppercut}}, {{m|Hurricane}}, {{m|Smack Down}}, or any move used by a Pokémon with {{a|No Guard}}. If a Pokémon that is in the air has No Guard, it can be hit by any Pokémon. The next turn, the target is thrown down and receives damage. Sky Drop can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[Triple Battle]]s.
===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 {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Twister}}, {{m|Sky Uppercut}}, {{m|Hurricane}}, or {{m|Smack Down}}). The next turn, the target is thrown down and receives damage. Sky Drop does no damage to {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, but it will still pick them up (making them unable to move) on its first turn.


Sky Drop will fail if the target has a {{m|substitute}}, while the target is already semi-invulnerable via moves such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Bounce}} or another Sky Drop, and when {{m|Gravity}} is in effect. Gravity will also cancel Sky Drop. Sky Drop does no damage to {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, but it will pick them up (and making them unable to move) on its first turn; if the capability to resist Ground-type moves is removed due to {{m|Smack Down}} or a held [[Iron Ball]], the move will damage these Pokémon. Sky Drop works normally on Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Magnet Rise}} or {{m|Telekinesis}}.
Sky Drop can target non-adjacent Pokémon in [[Triple Battle]]s. Sky Drop can target allies, but will fail when attempting to perform the move on them.


If a Pokémon in a chain of {{m|Thrash}}, {{m|Outrage}}, or {{m|Petal Dance}} is brought up with Sky Drop, the Pokémon will discontinue using the move when freed, but will then become {{status|confusion|confused}} due to fatigue at the end of the turn anyway.
The Ability {{a|No Guard}} or a previously used {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}} can still allow moves to hit Pokémon that are in the air.


Sky Drop can target allies, but will fail when attempting to perform the move on them.
Sky Drop will fail if the target is behind a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}, or if used on a target that is already semi-invulnerable due to moves such as {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Bounce}}, or another Sky Drop.


Sky Drop is unaffected by the [[Power Herb]].
Sky Drop cannot be used while {{m|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 [[Sky Drop glitch|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 Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s.
 
If a Pokémon locked into a {{cat|Consecutively executed moves|consecutively executed move}} is brought up with Sky Drop, the Pokémon will discontinue using the move when freed; if the move {{status|confusion|confuses}} the user {{cat|Moves that confuse the user due to fatigue|due to fatigue}} upon completion, that will occur now.
 
{{m|Protect}} and {{m|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]], and will not consume it.
 
Sky Drop is not redirected by the effects of {{m|Follow Me}} or {{m|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.
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.
<!--The target may also be hit in the air if it was previously targeted by {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}}, and then struck the following turn. (This needs to be tested) -->


In Black and White, a [[Sky Drop glitch|glitch]] in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s can cause a Pokémon to be stuck in the semi-invulnerable state when Sky Drop is used until it faints. The glitch is activated when {{m|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 has been banned in Wi-Fi Random Matches since November 10, 2010 and all subsequent official tournaments. While it was fixed in Black 2 and White 2, it is still banned in Wi-Fi Random Matches and official tournaments using these games.
===Generations VI and VII===
Targets [[weight|weighing]] [[List of Pokémon by weight#440.9 lbs. to 451.3 lbs. (200.0 kg to 204.7 kg)|440.9 lbs. (200 kg)]] or more cannot be lifted by Sky Drop, causing the move to fail. Once the target has been lifted, its weight can no longer affect the success of that usage of Sky Drop—even if a lifted target becomes heavier than the threshold, it will not cause Sky Drop to fail.
 
If {{m|Gravity}} is used during the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop, the move will be cancelled and both Pokémon will be brought down.
 
Both the user and the target can now be hit by {{m|Thousand Arrows}} during the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop.
 
While a Pokémon currently being lifted by Sky Drop can freely select any of its moves at the start of the turn, it does not have the option to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] or [[Ultra Burst]] even if it otherwise would be able to.
 
The Abilities {{a|Wimp Out}} and {{a|Emergency Exit}} will not trigger if the Pokémon is brought below half HP during the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop.
 
Sky Drop can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]] with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Entrainment}}, {{m|Hold Hands}} or {{m|Play Nice}} was used in the prior turn.
 
===Generation VIII onwards===
Sky Drop cannot be selected in a battle.
 
===Glitches===
{{main|Sky Drop glitch}}
In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, a glitch in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s can cause a Pokémon to become stuck in the semi-invulnerable state when Sky Drop is used. The glitch is activated when {{m|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.
 
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, a [[List of battle glitches (Generation VII)#Spiky Shield Sky Drop glitch|glitch]] can cause a Pokémon to become stuck in an "undead" invulnerable state when Sky Drop is used. The glitch is activated when Sky Drop is used on a Pokémon using {{m|Spiky Shield}}. Spiky Shield will damage the Pokémon using Sky Drop, but the game does not recognize the move. This makes the attacking Pokémon reach 0 HP and completely skip its turn and all moves used against this glitched Pokémon fail.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Sky Drop targets the enemy in front and brings the user and the enemy to the air (giving the user the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Sky Drop}} status and {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|suspended|suspending}} the enemy). While the user is in the air, the Pokémon cannot be hit by moves (except by moves such as Gust, Thunder, Twister and Sky Uppercut). Projectiles will also pass the user as if their tile was empty. The next turn, the enemy is thrown down and receives damage. Due to it being a two-turn move, this move cannot be linked.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Rufflet is the only Pokémon who is capable of learning Sky Drop and can still evolve.
* Sky Drop is the only move in [[Generation VI]] which causes an opponent's Pokémon to become fully immobile while in use.
* Sky Drop is the only move that causes an opponent's Pokémon to become fully immobile whilst in use.
* Sky Drop is one of the two {{cat|moves with a charging turn}} that cannot be used in [[Generation VIII]], the other being {{m|Razor Wind}}.
* Mew is the only non-Flying-type Pokémon that can learn Sky Drop, and therefore the only Pokémon that does not receive STAB from it (with the obvious exception of {{p|Smeargle}}).
* Sky Drop is the only move to be banned in an in-game tournament or [[Battle facility]], being banned in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* No Generation IV Pokémon can learn this move.
