Sketch question

[water types rule]

I'm not sure where to put this, but I have a question. Can Sketch copy Shadow attacks, I checked the attackdex, and it didn't say anything about Shadow attacks? If they can be copied, can they be kept,and traded to another game?
I would assume not, but I don't know, after this is answered, it can be closed.

I am unsure but I think it will probrably go the same (if you try) as my "Can you relearn shadow moves using a move relearner" test

No Pokemon with a Shadow Move can be traded to another game, because Shadow Moves haven't been programmed into the GBA games. As to being able to Sketch, I believe the Sketch will fail every time if the target is a Shadow Move.

I was just wondering, since all my Shadow Pokes are purified so I can't try it for myself.

 

[Shukaku]

Yeah, what Whompithian said. It won't work.

No, I believe that if you try to use Sketch on a Shadow attack, it will say:

"SMEAGLE used SKETCH! But it failed!"

1. There would never be a normal Pokemon with shadow moves.
2. Shadow Pokemon or even the moves can't be traded.
3. Since the other 2 would make sense, the programmers obviously didn't put that option in.
4. Are you crazy?

 

[water types rule]

I'm not crazy, I'm just curious, whether or not Sketch would work on Shadow attacks.

This can be closed now.

I tried it, and it didn't work.
OT:Of course you're not crazy. You're just "special".
