Firstly, Ultraman being unable to lift Skydon was for the sake of the story, he has lifted something just as heavy in another episode. Secondly Ultraman is known to be able to mentaly augment his physical strength making him potentially the physical strongest of all the Ultra Brothers.

Thirdly, the reason for Seven/UItraman Dark challenging him (It was one person switching between their two spark dolls) was to act as a type of form change, switching up his fighting style to keep Ginga guessing. As for defeating him on their own.

The fight heavily implied that Seven's techniques could counter Ginga, if not in power than in operation, but Seven could not physically overpower Ginga.

Ultraman however could defeat Ginga in terms of hand-to-hand combat but his techniques were more than likely not up to par with Seven's or Ginga's.

As for them becoming weaker, that was a problem for a while but I think Ginga did credit to show that ALL the Ultras were strong in their own individual ways. Say what you will about Ginga, its better than Seven's own SON just suddenly being stronger than him most other warriors of the Land of Ultra
