Sketch is a Normal-type move with 0 power and 0% accuracy, as it doesn't deal damage directly. It allows the user to permanently learn the last move used by the target, replacing Sketch in the process. This move is unique to Smeargle, which can use Sketch to acquire any move in the game, making it an extremely versatile Pokémon. Sketch can be used multiple times, granting Smeargle the ability to build a custom moveset tailored to various situations, which is especially valuable in competitive play. Smeargle learns Sketch starting at level 1 and continues to learn Sketch every ten levels (11, 21, 31, etc.).
Permanently replaces itself with the target's last used move. If that move is chatter or struggle, this move will fail. This move cannot be copied by mimic or mirror move, nor selected by assist or metronome, nor forced by encore.
Short Effect: Permanently becomes the target's last used move.
