Also when she shot her spear at the cliff she also stayed in the air for a while. watch the episode again if u must. sorry if i bothered u. Look man, the scene was slowed down in order to allow Sugilite to say her line in time. Basic filmmaking 101. Also, if Pearl can "fly" why does she climb (with Steven strapped to her back mind you!) to Rose's Armory in "Rose's Scabbard"? what about when she threw her spear. AND most of sugilite's lines were while she was hitting pearl so that's not true. AND if you're gonna use the excuse why didn't she use that ability in rose's scabbard ( one of my favorite episoded btw) why don't the gems use their abilities in tougher fights like with lapis's clones or countless others. That always happens in cartoons ( which is annoying). They do use their abilities on tougher fights. Garnet always has her future vision on but that doesn't mean everything she sees is what's going to happen. It's literally just a gamble but with something to back-up the choice.

Lapis did use her water clones when she fought, but only if she's fighting. When she was released from the mirror she didn't even kill the CGs, only incapacitating them temporarily, because she doesn't want to fight. When they followed her to the water elevator, she was just forced to fight lest she be taken from what she thought was her only chance of salvation. In The Return/Jailbreak, Lapis didn't put up a fight because she literally does not want to fight. She willingly gave herself up to prevent fighting. She just wants a peaceful life, and who can blame her?

Amethyst just uses her profeciency in shape-shifting in fights. Pearl doesn't fly because she simply doesn't. A lot of scenarios could've been avoided if she could fly. And they were not avoided because she couldn't avoid them. Flying would've been a great ability in Giant Woman.
