Ability: Moody
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spore
- Follow Me
- Decorate
- Fake Out / Wide Guard
Infamous for its role in VGC, Smeargle has seen a recent rise as a powerful support Pokemon during this DPL and OSDT, taking advantage of one of the new moves it gained in Generation 9: Decorate. With Decorate, Smeargle is able to enable potent attackers like Landorus, Ursaluna-BM, and Diancie to pick up OHKOs with their strong spread moves. Follow Me allows Smeargle to support its teammates more defensively by guaranteeing it is able to redirect both opposing Pokemon's attacks due to its Focus Sash. Wide Guard is chosen as counterplay into Gholdengo and Sandsear Storm Landorus, while Fake Out is chosen to allow Smeargle to both disrupt opposing Fake Out and protect its partners. Lastly, Spore in conjunction with Smeargle's speed investment allows it to outspeed common Pokemon like Incineroar, Iron Hands, Raging Bolt, and Diancie. Moody additionally enables Smeargle additional disruption opportunities in the case of a Speed boost or Speed drop while Trick Room is up.
