Mt. Skylift (Skylift) is a dungeon that contains mostly Flying-type Pokémon, found northwest of Grassroot Town, and northeast of Pitch-Black Abyss. It provides the player 
HM Fly at the end of the dungeon. Most of the dungeon may be clear due to Swablu and Altaria which have the Ability Cloud Nine. Pelipper also spawns on the higher floors, which can lead to rain as it has the Ability Drizzle.
Due to the ease of defeating the enemy Pokémon, accessibility, and experience points gained, Mt. Skylift is deemed the best dungeon to train Pokémon to level 30 or 40.

Dungeon Objective
The main objective is to obtain HM Fly, and after that players usually return for the amount of training that can be done at this dungeon. Several recruitable Pokémon are also found here. Old Amber is a hidden item here, that can be resurrected into Aerodactyl, meaning Aerodactyl can only be obtained via this dungeon. As well as the Sky Silk is exclusive to this dungeon.
Trivia
- Mt. Skylift was created by Kirk.
- Aerodactyl was once a Pokémon that could be recruited directly from this dungeon, but was later removed with the introduction of Old Amber.
