Sketch (Japanese: スケッチ Sketch) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II. It is the signature move of Smeargle. Although, after using Sketch the move itself is lost, Smeargle can learn it again every ten levels.
Effect
Generation II
Sketch allows the user to copy the opponent's last move permanently, therefore replacing Sketch. Sketch cannot be used to copy Selfdestruct, Explosion, Struggle, or Metronome.
Generation III
The effects of Sketch continue into this generation, however, Sketch cannot be used to copy Struggle or Transform. Sketch can be used to copy Selfdestruct and Explosion when used in a battle with a Pokémon with the Damp ability.
Generation IV
Same as Generation III, however, Sketch cannot be used to copy Chatter and Struggle.
The current list of moves Smeargle cannot sketch is limited to:
- Chatter (presumably due to technical limitations)
- Struggle (as no Pokémon naturally learns it)
- Transform (possibly to keep Ditto a unique Pokémon)
