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 target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.
Sketch cannot be used to copy Selfdestruct, Transform, Explosion, Struggle, Metronome, Mimic 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 used against a transformed Pokémon, Sketch will fail.
If the battle does not allow experience points to be earned (such as link battles or Battle Tower battles), Sketch will fail.
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 the battle does not allow experience points to be earned (such as link battles or Battle Tower battles), any moves learned via Sketch will be forgotten at the end of the battle.
If used by a transformed Pokémon, Sketch will fail.
Generation VI onward
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, the user's Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed are raised by one stage each.
Z-Moves cannot be sketched.
