How it works in Gen VII
This attack takes the target into the air with the user on the first turn and executes on the second. Pokémon weighing 200 kg or more cannot be lifted. On the first turn, the user and the target avoid all attacks other than Gust, Hurricane, Sky Uppercut, Smack Down, Thousand Arrows, Thunder, and Twister. The user and the target cannot make a move between turns, but the target can select a move to use. This move cannot damage Flying-type Pokémon. Fails on the first turn if the target is an ally, if the target has a substitute, or if the target is using Bounce, Dig, Dive, Fly, Phantom Force, Shadow Force, or Sky Drop.
- Makes contact
- Takes a turn to charge
“The user takes the target into the sky, then drops it during the next turn. The target cannot attack while in the sky.”
