As a Pokémon expert with a deep understanding of the mechanics within the Pokémon games, I can explain how Smeargle's unique move, Sketch, works.

Smeargle is a Normal-type Pokémon known for its ability to learn almost any move through the use of a move called Sketch. Here's how it works:


1. Sketch is a one-time use move that allows Smeargle to permanently copy the last move used by an enemy Pokémon in battle.
2. The copied move is added to Smeargle's move set and can be used as long as Smeargle remains in the party.

3. Sketch can only be used once per battle. If Smeargle leaves the battle and returns, it can use Sketch again to copy a new move.

4. Smeargle can only hold one sketched move at a time. If it uses Sketch again, the previously copied move will be replaced by the new one.
5. The copied move does not count towards Smeargle's four move limit, meaning it can still have its standard set of moves in addition to the sketched move.
6. The power and accuracy of the copied move are the same as the original move used by the enemy Pokémon.

It's important to note that Sketch can only copy damaging and non-damaging moves that are obtained through natural means, meaning it cannot copy HMs (Hidden Machines), moves learned through TMs (Technical Machines), or certain special moves like Chatter or Struggle.

After Smeargle learns a move by using Sketch, it learns Sketch again after 10 levels. ... The easiest way to teach Smeargle moves is by doing double battles with wild Pok��mon. (you can only do this is B/W and B/W 2 ) Have your Smeargle with Sketch with you and then the Pok��mon with the move that you want Smeargle to learn.read more >>
