Question: What moves can Sketch not copy?  Asking because it says almost any move.  [[User:Surskitty|surskitty]] 03:19, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:I don't believe Sketch can copy Selfdestruct or Explosion since a Pokémon using one of those moves would faint afterwards, either ending the battle or bringing in another opponent. Plus, Smeargle would likely need to be at a MUCH higher level in order of survive such an attack.

*Say you in a Double Battle.  Your Pokemon are a Smeargle that wants to Sketch move X, and Pokemon Y that knows move X.  Pokemon Y is faster than Smeargle.  Pokemon Y is asleep.  For Pokemon Y, you select move X.  For Smeargle, you select Sketch and target Pokemon Y.  Pokemon Y's turn executes: nothing happens, as it is asleep.  Smeargle's turn executes: Smeargle Sketches move X as if Pokemon Y had used it.  End of battle, Smeargle now knows move X.  So basically, for Sketch to work, the target need only have *selected* the move-to-be-sketched, not necessarily have used it.  This method works for every move except Struggle, which of course cannot be selected.  This only works in Gen3, not in Gen2.  --[[User:MasamuneXGP|MasamuneXGP]] 04:02, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:It's not any more, probably because some moron took it out, regardless of the fact that Smeargle is pretty much all you need as a father for any Pokémon in the ground egg group. There's a lot of shitheads on this website who are hellbent on removing perfectly good uploads and information. Either they're just ass-burgers (most likely scenario) or they're under the thumb of the whoever pays the loot for all the advertising they show on this page (possible, but, why?) - the advertising industry pretty much corrupts any media it's dirty money comes in contact with.[[User:Iliekmudkips|Iliekmudkips]] 07:19, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Sketch can copy Selfdestruct and Explosion.  Just be in a double battle.  You must have Smeargle and something with Selfdestruct/Explosion.  One opponent must have Damp.  Use SD/EX.  It will fail due to damp.  Sketch it.

: Chatter is probably un-sketch-able due to audio limitations. [[User:Yenreb|Yenreb]] 23:05, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
:: That's absurd. I see that same bullshit parroted all over, but never any explanation. If it were truly a hardware issue, the move itself wouldn't work on Chatot, either (duh). Rather, it's probably to prevent the stupid situation of someone having Smeargle "learn" a chatter, only to find out that all of their other chatot's have learned what the Smeargle did (the game only saves one sound, which isn't traded with the pokemon). {{unsigned|Iliekmudkips}}

:No, sprite trivia are most of the time not really trivia worthy. Also, it is incorrect to say they are 'identical' since when you look at them side by side there's a big difference (in terms of pixels, etc.) <span style="color:red">—<small>♥</small></span> <b>[[User:Jello|<span style="color:orange">Jel</span>]][[User Talk:Jello|<span style="color:#90a8e0;">lo</span>]]</b> 01:13, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

== In SoulSilver, Transform & Move Tutor ==
I was able to tutor Sketch to Smeargle.
Then I took Smeargle to fight ditto. With the ditto going first, it used transform and then the smeargle used sketch.
The Smeargle learned transform from the ditto->smeargle.
Possibly unrelated, before I tutored, eh smeargle knew false swipe.
Pardon my wiki noobishness.

== Transform ==
I Have A problem: I just recently taught my Smeargle transform through sketch. Besides that, It had the moves disable and Thundershock. Later on that day, I fought a wild Tauros and used transform. During the battle, it said that an ability called anger point activated, and then after I completed the battle, My Smeargle had lost all of its previous moves, and kept the Wild Tauros'. Can anyone explain how this could have happened? {{unsigned|Proctor}}
:New comments to the bottom please. What game is this in? I know that in some games there is a glitch that causes a Pokémon which has transformed to keep the transformed moveset after the battle ends. You probably activated that glitch. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</sc> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 01:46, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

== Metrenome ==
I know smeargle can't copy metrenome due to it turning into another move... but what about the trick someone mentioned earlier (an asleep pokemon) that uses it and doesnt wake up, will smeargle learn metrenome? If so, this makes Transform, Metrenome, and moves like Bolt strike that do a ton of damage a lot easier. {{unsigned|Pikachu3634}}
:As of Generation VI, the only moves that cannot be copied via {{m|Sketch}} are {{m|Chatter}} and {{m|Struggle}}.
