On Smogon's Movedex:

Sky Attack (Japanese:ゴッドバードGod Bird) is a damage-dealingFlying-type move introduced inGeneration I. InGeneration II, it was thesignature move ofMoltres, but other Pokémon could still inherit it viabreeding. It isTM43 in Generation I andTM153 inPokémon Legends: Z-A.

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 usesMirror 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, andflinching will pause but not disrupt the duration of Sky Attack.

InStadium, 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 toflinch. It also now has an increasedcritical 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 aPower Herb, there will be no charge turn.

Generations V and VI

Sky Attack can hit non-adjacent opponents inTriple Battles.

Sky Attack is no longer affected byKing's Rock.

Generation VII

InPokémon: 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

Sky Attack has the highestbase power of allFlying-type moves, excludingZ-Moves,Max Moves, andG-Max Moves.
- Sky Attack also has the highest base power of all moves capable of causingflinching.
- Additionally, Sky Attack has the highest base power of all increased critical-hit ratio moves.
- ASupersonic Skystrike based on Sky Attack has the highest base power of all Flying-type moves.
Sky Attack andBrave Bird share similar in-game animations inGeneration IV andV; the only major difference is that the former has a blue aura, the latter has a red aura. This was reversed in theanimated series (Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire portrayed Sky Attack with a red or orange aura, whereas its portrayal inPokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl changed it to white or yellow) up untilPokémon the Series: Sun & Moon.
InGeneration I, Sky Attack was the only Flying-type move that could be taught viaTM.
