What is Sketchmons?
Sketchmons is a metagame that answers the common question: "What if [Pokemon] got access to [move]?". In this format, each Pokemon is allowed to "sketch" a move, based on how the move Sketch worked in previous generations. Pokemon may learn one move normally not available to them, with the exception of a few powerful or unhealthy moves restricted to their native learners.
