For the farthest reaches of the galaxy, for the spark that sets the sun ablaze, for the inferno fueled raze...and now, I wonder...who am I? (The answer to this riddle can be found on the Forums)

The Sky Drop glitch is a glitch in Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 that occurs in Double and Triple Battles when Gravity is used while two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state due to Sky Drop. Due to the glitch, the move Sky Drop was 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 Pokémon World Championships.

This glitch was corrected in the Generation VI games.

Effect

The glitch is activated when Gravity is used while two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state after Sky Drop is used. Gravity will bring the user of Sky Drop down while the target will be stuck in the semi-invulnerable state, unable to move until the user of Sky Drop is knocked out or switched out.
