A '''Sky Battle''' (Japanese: '''スカイバトル''' ''Sky Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] | A '''Sky Battle''' (Japanese: '''スカイバトル''' ''Sky Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] exclusive to {{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. | Most {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}} are eligible for Sky Battles. 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 (this affects only {{p|Duskull}}, {{p|Bronzor}} and {{p|Bronzong}}). Pokémon do not lose eligibility even if they are holding an item like [[Iron Ball]], and cannot gain eligibility by holding an item like [[Air Balloon]]. Eligibility is determined before the battle starts, so Pokémon that must first [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] to become Flying-type or have Levitate are not eligible. Eligibility cannot be changed in-battle, and will be unaffected by a Pokémon becoming [[grounded]] due to any in-battle effect, such as Mega Evolution, a held item change, or a move like {{m|Roost}} or {{m|Gastro Acid}}. | ||
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. | Certain Flying types and Pokémon with Levitate are ineligible for Sky Battles, such as {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Hawlucha}}.
