The user of Sky Attack will become cloaked in a harsh light on the first turn. On the second turn, Sky Attack deals damage and has a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch (if the target has not yet moved).. It also has an increased critical hit ratio (1⁄8 instead of 1⁄24).
If the user is holding a Power Herb, Sky Attack executes in one turn. Pokémon with the ability Inner Focus or those behind a Substitute cannot be made to flinch. Pokémon with the abilities Battle Armor or Shell Armor, or those under the effects of Lucky Chant, are protected against critical hits.
When a Pokémon is holding Flyinium Z and uses its Z-Power, Sky Attack turns into Supersonic Skystrike and has base power 200.
