Transform question

[ScorpionX]

I have a shiny smeargle on my emerald, and no matter how hard i try i can't get it to sketch transform, can somebody help me please?

Why not use Macho Brace to slow it down when battling Ditto?

Speed ain't the problem, every time i try it says the move failed.

Oh, then it will work after transform. I haven't tried that but there are certain moves that won't work. I did the reverse to test out if Ditto can learn sketch to disprove a theory and true to fact, it won't work.

Use it right after Ditto uses ransform.

 

[meta-master]

I think he's tried that already -.-

 

[ScorpionX]

Yes i have, i can't figure out how to do it.

Spore it, then use sketch.

When the pokémon is asleep, you can sketch the move you selected, since it´s ditto´s only move, no problem.

I´m not sure if this works, as I never tried.

i've heard that sketching transform doesn't work on emerald, but it does on R/S.

You cannot sketch Transform.
People say you cant sketch Metronome or Mirror Move either but you CAN my Smeargle has both of these moves.

I don't think you can sketch transform... I tried it once. I put my ditto amd smeargle at the top of my party, and went off to find a pair of double battle trainers. Once I got into a battle, I got Ditto to use transform (since that is his only move) and got smeargle to sketch the transform. It did not work. And my Ditto was faster than Smeargle, I remember feeding it carbos to boost its low speed.

But I do remember reading about a trick called the "Ditto Trick" that allows Smeargle to sketch transform, and even allow Ditto to transform into Smeargle and sketch any move it wants so it doesn't have to transform in order to attack... but I think this was for Gold/Silver, and maybe Crystal. So I don't know if it works in the third generation games...

I tried to do something similar to that on my fire red. I tought my charizard mimic and went into a double battle with charizard and smeargle and I tried to mimic sketch so I could teach my charizard water pulse but it didn't work
