On Smogon's Movedex:

Sky Attack (Japanese: ゴッドバード God Bird) is a damage-dealing Flying-type move introduced in Generation I. It is TM43 in Generation I. In Generation II, it was the signature move of Moltres, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via breeding.

Effect

Generations I and II

Sky Attack does nothing on the turn it is selected, other than say that the user is glowing. On the following turn, Sky Attack will deal damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Sky Attack is selected, the user will not be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.

If Sky Attack is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the target uses Mirror Move during the turn that the user is glowing, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Sky Attack (or fail if it cannot).

Sleep, freeze, binding, and flinching will pause but not disrupt the duration of Sky Attack.

In Stadium, Mirror Move will copy Sky Attack on either of the turns it takes to execute.

Sky Attack has 140 base power.

Generation III

Sky Attack now has a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch. It also now has an increased critical hit ratio.

Generation IV

Sky Attack now displays "<Pokémon> became cloaked in a harsh light!" instead of "<Pokémon> is glowing!" If the user is holding a Power Herb, there will be no charge turn.

Generations V and VI

Sky Attack can hit non-adjacent opponents in Triple Battles.

Sky Attack is no longer affected by King's Rock.

Generation VII

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Sky Attack's power was increased from 140 to 200.

Generation VIII onwards

Sky Attack's power was changed back to 140.

In other games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

The user gains the Sky Attack status condition on the first turn, and unleashes the move on the next turn. In the Rescue Team and Explorers series, the move's damage is doubled at the end of damage calculation.

Being a two-turn move, this move cannot be linked. Sky Attack cannot be used in a Pokémon Tower in the Adventure Squad series.

Sky Attack has an increased critical hit ratio only since Super Mystery Dungeon.

Trivia

Sky Attack has the highest base power of all Flying-type moves, excluding Z-Moves, Max Moves, and G-Max Moves.
- Sky Attack also has the highest base power of all moves capable of causing flinching.
- A Supersonic Skystrike based on Sky Attack has the highest base power of all Flying-type moves.
Sky Attack and Brave Bird share similar in-game animations in Generation IV and V; the only major difference is that the former has a blue aura, the latter has a red aura. This was reversed in the anime (Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire portrayed Sky Attack with a red or orange aura, whereas its portrayal in Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl changed it to white or yellow) up until Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon.
In Generation I, Sky Attack was the only Flying-type move that could be taught via TM.

+'''Sky Attack''' (Japanese: '''ゴッドバード''' ''God Bird'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[TM043|TM43]] in Generation I. In [[Generation II]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Moltres}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.
 ==Effect==
-===Generation I===
+===Generations I and II===
-Sky Attack deals damage, has a 9.8% chance of causing the target to {{status|flinch}}, and has an increased [[critical hit]] ratio.
+Sky Attack does nothing on the turn it is selected, other than say that the user is glowing. On the following turn, Sky Attack will deal damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Sky Attack is selected, the user will not be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.

On the following turn, Sky Attack will deal damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Sky Attack is selected, the user won't be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.
+If Sky Attack is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the target uses {{m|Mirror Move}} during the turn that the user is glowing, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Sky Attack (or fail if it cannot).
-If Sky Attack is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the target uses {{m|Mirror Move}} during the turn that the user is glowing, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Sky Attack (or fail if it can't).
+{{status|Sleep}}, {{status|freeze}}, [[bound|binding]], and [[flinch]]ing will pause but not disrupt the duration of Sky Attack.
-{{status|Sleep}}, {{status|freeze}}, partial trapping, and flinching will pause but not disrupt the duration of Sky Attack.
+In {{pkmn|Stadium}}, Mirror Move will copy Sky Attack on either of the turns it takes to execute.
-In Stadium, Mirror Move will copy Sky Attack on either of the turns it takes to execute.
+Sky Attack has 140 base power.
-===Generation II-III===
+===Generation III===
-Sky Attack now has a 10% chance of causing the target to flinch. Otherwise, it is exactly the same as Generation I.
+Sky Attack now has a 30% chance of causing the target to [[flinch]]. It also now has an increased [[critical hit]] ratio.
 ===Generation IV===
-Sky Attack now displays "'''<name> became cloaked in a harsh light!'''" instead of "'''<name> is glowing!'''". Otherwise, it is exactly the same as Generation II and III.
+Sky Attack now displays "<Pokémon> became cloaked in a harsh light!" instead of "<Pokémon> is glowing!" If the user is holding a [[Power Herb]], there will be no charge turn.
+===Generations V and VI===
+Sky Attack can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[Triple Battle]]s.
+Sky Attack is no longer affected by [[King's Rock]].
+===Generation VII===
+In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Sky Attack's power was increased from 140 to 200.
+===Generation VIII onwards===
+Sky Attack's power was changed back to 140.

 ==Trivia==
-* Except {{P|Mew}}, all Pokémon who can learn Sky Attack are {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon, and thus receive [[STAB]] for using it.
+* Sky Attack has the highest [[Power|base power]] of all {{type|Flying}} moves, excluding [[Z-Move]]s, [[Max Move]]s, and [[G-Max Move]]s.
-* Sky Attack has the highest base [[power]] of any Flying-type attack.
+** Sky Attack also has the highest base power of all moves capable of causing [[flinch]]ing.
-* Sky Attack and Brave Bird share similar in-game animations; the only major difference is that where the former has a blue aura, the latter's is red.
+** A {{m|Supersonic Skystrike}} based on Sky Attack has the highest base power of all Flying-type moves.
-* Mew, Crobat and Gliscor are the only non-[[wikipedia:archosauria|archosaurian]] Pokémon to learn this move.
+* Sky Attack and {{m|Brave Bird}} share similar in-game animations in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V|V]]; the only major difference is that the former has a blue aura, the latter has a red aura. This was reversed in the {{pkmn|anime}} (''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' portrayed Sky Attack with a red or orange aura, whereas its portrayal in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' changed it to white or yellow) up until ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.
+* In [[Generation I]], Sky Attack was the only Flying-type move that could be taught via [[TM]].
