Sky Drop

Flying

Summary

Sky Drop is a Flying-type move with 60 power and 100% accuracy. It is a two-turn attack where the user grabs the target on the first turn, preventing the target from using most moves, and then drops them to deal damage on the second turn. Sky Drop cannot affect targets that are taller than 20 meters or heavier than 200 kg in Pokémon games, effectively making larger Pokémon immune to this move. Additionally, during the first turn when the target is lifted, some moves like "Thunder" or "Hurricane" can still hit the target. This move is unique in that it can disrupt the opponent's strategy by temporarily removing a Pokémon from battle.

Effect

Inflicts regular damage. User carries the target high into the air for one turn, during which no moves will hit either Pokémon and neither can act. On the following turn, the user drops the target, inflicting damage and ending the effect. If the target is flying-type, this move will function as normal but inflict no damage. gust, hurricane, sky uppercut, smack down, thunder, twister, and whirlwind can hit both the user and the target during this effect. gust and twister will additionally have double power. The damage from hail and sandstorm still applies during this effect. Either Pokémon may be hit during this effect if also under the effect of lock on, mind reader, or no guard. This move cannot be used while gravity is in effect. This move cannot be selected by sleep talk. *Bug*: If gravity is used during a double or triple battle while this move is in effect, this move is not correctly canceled on the target, and it remains high in the air indefinitely. As this move prevents the target from acting, the only way to subsequently remove it from the field is to faint it.

Short Effect: Carries the target high into the air, dodging all attacks against either, and drops it next turn.
