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}}, if the user has ensured a hit with {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}}, 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.

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 (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}}.

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.

[[Protect (move)|Protect]] can guard against the initial use of the move but any attempts to try and use Protect to avoid damage when already in the air will fail.
