+Sketch allows the user to learn the target's last move permanently, replacing Sketch in the process.
+It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. Sketch is not affected by {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Spiky Shield}}. Sketch will fail if used against a target protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}.
+These moves cannot be sketched: {{m|Chatter}}, {{m|Mirror Move}}, {{m|Sleep Talk}}, {{m|Struggle}}, Sketch itself, [[Shadow move]]s, [[Z-Move]]s, and others depending on the generation.

 ===Generation III===
 In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} only, Sketch can copy a move a Pokémon attempted to use, but failed to due to {{status|sleep}}. This allows the moves {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mimic}}, and {{m|Transform}} to be copied (which otherwise cannot be)—this means that in the Generation III games, these moves can only be copied by Sketch in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
-Sketch can now be used to copy {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}} when used in a battle with a Pokémon with the {{a|Damp}} [[Ability]]. {{m|Struggle}} and [[Shadow move]]s cannot be sketched.
 If the battle does not allow [[Experience|experience points]] to be earned (such as link battles or [[Battle Tower]] battles), any moveset changes caused by Sketch will be reverted at the end of the battle.

-Sketch can now be used to copy {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mimic}}, and {{m|Transform}} like any other move (without the need for the move to fail due to sleep). {{m|Chatter}} cannot be sketched.
