Thanks to Sketch, Smeargle is able to learn any move in the entire game, allowing for Game Breaking combinations and fantastic Role Compression/Utility.
Let's explore Smeargle's success throughout the years and the different options it has used.

Some will never figure out how to get Tyranitar in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Tyranitar Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Tyranitar Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
Arceus exists.
The below text is very relevant to many people.
Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.
Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.
Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.
Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on YouTube. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

Two Pokemon GOATs, SOULWIND and Mana, just faced off in our Invitiational Gen 3 OU tournament. This was a long anticipated Rematch. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHxnaQaKSuE

Smeargle: simultaneously ZU’s biggest liability and Ubers biggest threat

DO NOT REJECT THE PAINTER! HORSE COUNCIL DO NOT REPEAT HISTORY!
-
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but Smeargle's bid for a seat on the Horse Council feels like a psyop designed as a spoiler to Magcargo's bid. I think Horsea is using Smeargle to literally run a smear campaign.
-
"For each weather effect" Hail: "You are in the weather council but we do not grant you the rank of Castform form." Sandstorm: "This is outrageous, this is unfair."
-
this funny dog can't just sneak into any club by sketching a new move. magcargo learned horsepower the old fashioned way
-
"Castform has four different type forms for each weather effect. 'No weather' is a weather effect and Sandstorm is the default state of things. I work a 9-5 at the ADV OU factory and am married to Tyranitar by common law." Jimothy spitting facts as usual.

We haven't heard about Iron Mugulis for quite some time now. Could it be that he has something to do with the political tensions in the Horse Council?
-
A new horse into the equation. I see what you did there

Every dog has its day

smeargle is a surprisingly well-balanced pokemon. the fact that it can learn nearly any move is balanced by its rock-bottom stats. even in later generations, the wider pool of moves keep it relevant, and its abilities allow for either total chaos or more consistency in it gameplay. you'd think that game freak would overdo a pokemon that can learn every move, but it's just been relevant without being overbearing in every generation (and in a lot of different tiers, too).
-
Gimmick Pokémon are actually pretty interesting in the TCG. How (and whether) they implement the gimmick can be a real challenge.
-
Wait wait wait, is Smeargle a Pegasus?! Because it can learn High Horsepower and Fly, along with Surf, now surf is important because Poseidon created horses along with the Pegasus
-
Smeargle does not in fact learn high horsepower. It learns sketch which can be USED to learn high horsepower but only after watching a REAL horse use the move. Therefore Smeargle should not be allowed into the horse council.
-
My favourite part was when the captions couldn't understand Jim's lovely accent and displayed "Smiggle" and "Smaggle" every time he said Smeargle
-
9:30 appearance from our dear friend Groo - dawn
-
Smeargle's Sketch allowed it to choose any defense attorney it wanted, and Mudsdale is the best choice it could have gone with. Truly a big brain play.
-
Thank god they made it so that smeargle cannot sketch revival blessing
-
Cat jumpscare at 10:21, I hope Jim learns to be more professional in the future this is detrimental to the viewer experience and makes macargo look bad to the horse council and worsens his chances

Jlimonthy what is your favorite species of rodent ?
