A '''Sky Battle''' (Japanese: '''スカイバトル''' ''Sky Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] introduced in {{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. | A '''Sky Battle''' (Japanese: '''スカイバトル''' ''Sky Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] introduced in {{g|X and Y}}.

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.

Most {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}} are eligible for Sky Battles. They do not lose eligibility even if they become [[grounded]] due to any in-battle effect, such as [[Mega Evolution]], a move like {{m|Roost}} or {{m|Gastro Acid}}, or an item like the [[Iron Ball]] or [[Air Balloon]]. 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. | Most {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}} are eligible for Sky Battles.

Certain moves are not permitted to be used in Sky Battles. If a Pokémon's only usable moves are prohibited, the Pokémon will use {{m|Struggle}} if it attempts to attack. If one of these moves is called by {{m|Metronome}} or {{m|Sleep Talk}}, a message will appear saying that it won't work well in Sky Battles. | Certain moves are not permitted to be used in Sky Battles.
