What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics
What is the bug?
I was testing Custom doubles matches for a randomlocke tournament im in.
The bug is Sky Drop doesnt work properly with Unseen Fist, Protect blocks it.
Sky Drop is a contact move and thus should bypass protect if a Pkm with the ability Unseen Fist uses it. I dont think im missing anything.
Sky Drop was removed from the game on gen8 onwards and Unseen Fist is from gen8, so maybe the interaction is not working in Showdown because of that. But following the logic of the move and the ability, Unseen Fist should work on any contact move, which includes Sky Drop.
If its indeed an oversight, please let me know if you can fix it soon for my tournament which is held in PS. If its working as intended, let me know so i can change my team haha
Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?

Whimsicott has Unseen Fist and uses Sky Drop into Baxcallibur and Spectrier. Notably, Sky Drop fails if the foe is over 200kg (Baxcallibur is over 200kg but Spectrier isnt), but this is not a factor in the replay as it fails on both when using Protect.
You can see how Whimsicott hits Nuzzle, Breaking Swipe and Draining Kiss through Protect thanks to Unseen Fist, but doesnt hit Sky Drop.

PS. I was trying to test if Hurricane/Thunder would hit and opponent who used Protect but was hit by Sky Drop (thanks to Unseen Fist). Thunder and other moves hit the opponent during the invulnerable turn of Sky Drop, but i wanted to see how would it work, since Unseen bypasses Protect but doesnt break it... and found out Sky Drop doesnt connect at all.
