You missed one of the best new moves Smeargle will run, Salt Cure. It's almost a perfect complement to Spore because it puts everything that switches in (sans Shield Dust Magic Guard/Covert Cloak) mons on a timer that continues even after Smeargle switches out or is KO'd.
It's true, but smeargle's bulk isn't very good, it would be difficult to find space in the moveset. It could work, if you fight a faster user, you have 1 turn to use spore and spend Focus Slash, and the next turn probably changes and you can use 1mov, sticky web, but if the poke that comes in is faster, you would have to change and Wait for a slower opponent. Vs stall would work better, it is a good move to add, but I think it is less useful than the rest of the movepool it has: Spore, sticky web, the spikes move, and tidy up/rocks move/nuzzle/revival.
Another move You can use in smeargle is court change, but same, hard to find a place in his movepool, more if Enter whit hazzards, lose the Focus (and boots, not work realy Wells in smeargle
Despite this pokemon's very low stats the unmatched versatility of having access to absolutely any move you want has always been valuable in competitive singles.
Does this mean that smeargle is an accomplice to tax evasion? Old money avoides paying tax by using his vast resources to artificially inflate the value of smeargle's sketches. He personally has the largest private collection of these sketeches. Every year he donates some to museums so he can write off their overinflated valuation from his taxes!

You forgot about the signature move No Respects. It starts out at 300, and it gets raised by 50 every time it knocks out a Pokemon, getting as high as 600.
just earlier I was thinking about how Smeargle is going to be able to sketch Revival Blessing, I suppose the Normal/Psychic type future paradox pokemon known as Iron Content Creator must have read my thoughts & made them into reality
I kinda doubt it. The problem with Revival Blessing is that you're reviving a Pokemon that your opponent already defeated at half-health, and often sacrificing a Pokemon to do it. Funny thing is that one of the best ways to use it is to power up Kingambit and Last Respects by feeding them more bodies.

@@mysticfrace568 yeah but there’s absolutely no point in getting rid of prankster considering that without it it’d lose its niche. Plus, the idea would be to be able to use busted status moves through prankster, or with Grafaiai’s base speed.
In Ubers, revival blessing will be at its most powerful, since last respects ignores if any pokemon were revived and ko'd again, every ko powers up the move. (According to Bulbapedia)
I cannot wait for GameFreak to introduce HyperOffenseEnabler a convergent evolution form of Smeargle with snow warning as its ability. Aurora Veil + Sticky Webs would go so hard.
There's also an insane new addition to it's move pool for doubles, being Decorate from Gen 8. Alcremie is also confirmed to be returning so it'll be able to Sketch that for the first time. Doodle, Silk Trap, Jungle Healing,
If Defog stays as uncommon as it already is. Then I can see it becoming genuinely viable for once, instead of a gimmick mon that forced you to play the worlds most aggressive HO team possible just to make the most of turn 1 hazards.
I think that, once Smeargle is allowed in OU, either it or Gholdengo is getting banned, 100%. Ceaseless Edge make Spikes not even blocked by Magic Bounce, and with all the new strong moves that it gets access too, it's gonna be too much in my opinion. Ribombee is, honestly, much worse than Smeargle. Smeargle has multiple hazards, Spore...And if you wanna beat tusk and not allow a Spin, just tera ghost. The utility is gonna bring in one slot is too much for the tier, and as the video say I think it's going to be top tier in ubers too
I don't think it's going to be that OP. Honestly I'm not sure it will even be better than Ribombee - 75 speed and zero offensive presence is a big difference compared to 124 speed and the ability to OHKO the tier's best hazard remover.
@@alexpotts6520 You don't need to be able to OHKO the hazard remover (which, tbh, is not the best, but also the only one because Corv is extremely bad in this meta) if you can *deny* the hazard removal With tera ghost, or speed investment to guarantee defensive tusk gets asleep with Spore, you make it so that Tusk can't spin and potentially have a free switch on the asleep elephant
@@piku2able Quite a high opportunity cost of using the once-per-game Tera on a hazard lead, though. Like, it *can* do that but as soon it does, your Kingambit or whatever becomes way less threatening.
Something I was thinking that could potentially be quite strong in ubers with revival blessing, is the return of ho-oh, given it gets regenerator and roost, allowing it diminish the 50% hp side effect; adding tera into the equation, being able to tera into something more defensively adept, removing its reliance on heavy duty boots due to its typing, its essentially moltres on steroids.
Smeargle is at its most powerful in gen 9, with the new moves stone axe and ceaseless edge, it can finally set up hazards even if the opponent has taunt/magic bounce/magic coat, the only problem it has, is those attacks have a 5% chance to miss
Another problem is it forces u to waste your terra on smeargle to make it ghost type to block opponents rapid spin, which is a heavy price to pay. I kinda wish all of the dedicated hazard leads were all ghost type(deoxys forms/smeargle/azelf/etc)
God I'm imagining some really gross Smeargle sets with Trapping move Spore Revival Blessing Recycle Leppa Berry Imagine getting Smeargle in on something slow like Skeledirge, Toxapex, Blissey, Alomomola and Smeargle getting multiple rezzes off
I like to imagine Jimothy creating an audio book about the Iron Mugulis saga and dubbing over it, but every single character sounds exactly like Jimothy, cadence and all.
Population bomb would also be very funny to use on smeargle considering it gets stab. Might actually get meaningful damage considering smeargle’s base 20 attack lol
Jimothy, I'm afraid. This is devastating news. It looks my Gen 9 draft league was influenced by Iron Mugulis's attempt to get to the real world. One team drafted both Sinistcha and Iron Jugulis. I fear that they will be fused together to create a real-world body for Iron Mugulis to inhabit. This is insane, what do I do?
Incineroar: "My time has come to once again torment Doubles with my presence." Even though I'm more excited about Doubles/VGC over singles since they ain't got time for entry hazards over there making games go faster, I don't mind watching vids focusing on Singles since seeing you guys work with the crumbs GameFreak gives you guys amazes me as they really showcase with peeps like Sinistcha or the Treasures of Ruin that Singles is just main storyline for them, doubles is where they REALLY focus on competitively IMO.
Honestly I might be in the minority but I don't think Smeargle will be super insane and is more of a jack of all trades but a master of none. Powercreep has gotten so bad that imo having every move in the game won't automatically make you good by default, especially with smeargle's terrible base stats. I feel Revival Blessing is like the Cat's Paw considering Pawmot has far better stats than Smeargle and it's still pretty mediocre (both need focus sash and RB only really has a good use case in Ubers due to higher power levels), Garganacl is far bulkier so it can get off multiple salt cures, and Smeargle is even less bulky than Maushold so Tidy Up likely won't be that useful. Sticky web could be useful, but again I just think Ribombee provides that role better than Smeargle does due to it's better speed. Smeargle is useful at providing multiple different things (status, web, hazards/hazard removal) but I don't think it's particularly excellent at anything besides status due to spore and nuzzle having limited good options. I think Smeargle would struggle by trying to do too much at one time, but again that might just be me thinking from the perspective of someone that doesn't play singles enough to be hyper aware of meta trends.
Man, smeargle is going to have a field day with all the new moves it can use. Chilly reception, web hold, tera blast, this thing is going to go places. That is if the meta game doesn't immediately ban smeargle from competition
What I found odd while researching Smeargle was that I already knew it couldn’t use Dark Void (Gen 7 onwards) and Chatter, but I didn’t know it couldn’t use Hyperspace Fury, Hoopa Unbound’s signature move. It also can’t use Struggle as a sketched attack
If balanced hackmons is anything to go off of, the most common smeargle set will either be Webs Stone axe Ceaseless edge Mortal spin/rapid spin Or Spore Nuzzle U-turn/flip turn Revival blessing/Ceaseless edge/stone edge/sticky webs/mortal spin/rapid spin/tidy up/shed tail/defog
I legit screamed "no" when I found out it was coming back. This damn dog has never been healthy for the game in any format it was in (Im speaking more from a VGC perspective btw, cuz its WAY more common in VGC than Smogon. Thanks Moody)
Iron mugulis' recent behavior is very worrying indeed. As we all know, Machamp does not have the necessary certifications to operate construction vehicles. Not content with his dastardly crimes, he has resorted to paying unwitting pokemon to operate heavy machinery without a license.
Gholdengo might assist smeargle in keeping hazards up but since smeargle always runs sash Gholdengo being around is also a detriment since the smeargle user will either have to always lead (standard but easy to play around) or break their sash on hazards.
Smeargle doesn’t really need Sketch to use Spore. Because of its distinct domed cap, we can conclude that it is in fact a mushroom and can learn spore like the other shroom mons
There's only one problem: Scarlet/Violet is *extremely* allergic to Double Battles. As soon as you've unlocked the school tournament, it's lost all access to Revival Blessing on that savefile. Either you're forced to delete your save *and* throw multiple fights to build your perfect Smeargle, or you stick to Showdown and can just take the moves for free.
I hate this dog. Not only did it lead to the nerfing of Darkrai, it's now about to outshine Ribombee's relevance in OU, too. How many more must suffer for the crimes of this canine painter? Gamefreak is mad for ever releasing this beast again.
Ribombee's always been my favorite lower tier mon. I used it even in RU in Gen 8 with some success, especially since it could easily outspeed and OHKO the king of RU, Flygon. It was a great sweeper in PU, too, and one of the top Pokemon there.
Smeargle is returning but did we forgot loaded dice? Smeargle being amazing only works with stash( so next turn it spores) , but sinse alot of mons now run multi hit moves , and samurott and stone axe exist to break stash And terra grass removes spore as a move Smeargle aint gonna do shit

I hate this dog. Not only did it lead to the nerfing of Darkrai, it's now about to outshine Ribombee's relevance in OU, too.
How many more must suffer for the crimes of this canine painter? Gamefreak is mad for ever releasing this beast again.
Ribombee's always been my favorite lower tier mon. I used it even in RU in Gen 8 with some success, especially since it could easily outspeed and OHKO the king of RU, Flygon. It was a great sweeper in PU, too, and one of the top Pokemon there.
Rhibombee's relevance was always going to end after Gholdengo was banned
Smeargle seems so good in theory. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets banned.
This is insane.
Im Scared, Iron Mugulis can't be real.
Honestly, if gold was banned, we could probably unban like half of the banned mons
I love your videos so much. By far my favorite Pokemon TH-camr. What is your accent if you don't mind me asking? It's so soothing and cool.
Gholdengo deserves a suspect test. Would barely consider it a "victim"
Smeargle is returning but did we forgot loaded dice?
Smeargle being amazing only works with stash( so next turn it spores) , but sinse alot of mons now run multi hit moves , and samurott and stone axe exist to break stash
And terra grass removes spore as a move
Smeargle aint gonna do shit
How is samurott and stone axe breaking sash if Smeargle's a lead mon? Sash ensures he at least gets one move off.
Smeargle getting revival blessing sounds rather sketchy ngl
Smeargle, the best utility mon in the series, finally coming back. 😭
Ah Smeargle I remember calling the first one I caught named French baguette 🥖 man was the homie Rip to the those lost Pokémon cartridges 😢
The Jim cool comments section has invaded my home. I heard memeing from youtube and the comments section had grown to enormous size! "This is insane!" I cried before I was buried in memes
