:''This article is about the glitch in [[Generation V]]. For the [[Generation VII]] glitch, see [[List of battle glitches in Generation VII#Spiky Shield Sky Drop glitch|List of battle glitches in Generation VII → Spiky Shield Sky Drop glitch]].''

The '''Sky Drop glitch''' is a glitch in {{4v|Black|White|2}} that occurs in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s when {{m|Gravity}} is used while two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state due to {{m|Sky Drop}}.

Due to the glitch, the move Sky Drop was [[Rule variants#Global Battle Union|banned in Wi-Fi Random Matches]] starting November 10, 2010 and lasted until [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] was discontinued on May 20, 2014. Sky Drop was also banned from all official tournaments using the [[Generation V]] games, such as the [[World Championships|Pokémon World Championships]].

This glitch was corrected in the [[Generation VI]] games.

==Effect==
If two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state after Sky Drop is used and Gravity is used, Gravity will bring both the user and the target of Sky Drop down, but the Pokémon that was the target will be unable to move until the user of Sky Drop is [[fainting|knocked out]] or [[Recall|switched out]]. [[Status condition]]s and other effects will still apply to the immobile Pokémon.
