===Generation II===
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 opponent is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.


===Generation II===
Sketch cannot be used to copy {{m|Selfdestruct}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Struggle}}, {{m|Transform}}, {{m|Metronome}} or Sketch itself.
Sketch allows the user to copy the opponent's last move permanently, therefore replacing Sketch. Sketch cannot be used to copy {{m|Selfdestruct}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Struggle}}, {{m|Transform}}, or {{m|Metronome}}. If used by a transformed Pokémon, Sketch will fail.

Sketch (Japanese: スケッチ Sketch) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II. It is the signature move of Smeargle.

Effect

Generation II

Sketch allows the user to learn the target's last move permanently, replacing Sketch in the process. It bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

Sketch cannot be used to copy Selfdestruct, Explosion, Struggle, Transform, Metronome or Sketch itself.

Sketch will fail if used to copy a move the user already knows.

If used by a transformed Pokémon, Sketch will allow the Pokémon to permanently learn the sketched move; this is known as the Sketch glitch.

If the battle does not allow experience points to be earned (such as link battles or Battle Tower battles), any move learned via Sketch will be forgotten at the end of the battle.

Sketch is not affected by Protect or Detect.

Generations III-V

Sketch can now be used to copy Selfdestruct and Explosion when used in a battle with a Pokémon with the Damp Ability. It can also be used to copy Metronome and Transform, if the move fails to activate due to effects such as sleep. Struggle, Chatter and Shadow moves cannot be sketched.

If used by a transformed Pokémon, Sketch will fail.

Generation VI onwards

Sketch can now be used to copy Metronome and Transform, without the need for either move to fail.

Sketch will fail if used against a target protected by Crafty Shield. Sketch is not affected by Spiky Shield.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Sketch, all of the user's stats are raised one stage each.

Z-Moves cannot be sketched.
