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}}. The next turn, the target is thrown down and receives damage. Sky Drop can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[triple battle]]s.

Sky Drop will fail if the target has a {{m|Substitute}}, while the target is using semi-invulnerable moves such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Bounce}}, and when {{m|Gravity}} is in effect. Gravity will also cancel Sky Drop. Sky Drop does no damage to {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, but it will pick them up (and make them unable to move) on its first turn. Sky Drop also does no damage to Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}, unless that Pokémon was hit by {{m|Smack Down}} first. Sky Drop works normally on Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Magnet Rise}} or {{m|Telekinesis}}.

A [[Sky Drop glitch|glitch]] in double and triple battles 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.
