===Eligible Pokémon===
Many {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}} are eligible for Sky Battles. They do not lose eligibility even if [[Mega Evolution]] or a move like {{m|Roost}} or {{m|Gastro Acid}} leaves them exposed to {{type|Ground}} moves. The {{dl|In-battle effect item|Iron Ball}} and {{dl|In-battle effect item|Air Balloon}} have no effect on eligibility. Pokémon that must first Mega Evolve to become Flying-type or have Levitate are not eligible. If a Pokémon can have Levitate as one of multiple Abilities and is not Flying-type, it will only be eligible if it has Levitate.

Note that certain Flying types and Pokémon with Levitate are ineligible for Sky Battles, such as {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Hawlucha}}. These Pokémon are not shown flying or hovering in normal battles.
