Using a sub 400cp Smeargle to beat Sierra's shadow Carvanha, Porygon-Z & Houndoom.
With the new Pokemon snap event, Smeargle has been appearing 15 times a day & can now learn every move in the game bar 2: frustration & return. if you try to copy either of these moves, your Smeargle will learn a random charge move instead. This allows for some unique combinations that aren't possible on any other Pokemon.
The obvious choice when it comes to team rocket challenges is lock on. Lock on is the best energy per turn fast move in the game at 5ept. Pairing it with low energy charge moves allows for some serious spam against the leaders Pokemon, who can't attack for a few seconds after a charge move is thrown.
To do this, you have to take snapshots of either Porygon2 or Porygon-Z as a shadow/purified with frustration/return.
On paper, it might seem like a good idea to try to get some of the 35 energy charge moves combined with lock on, as that's the spammiest combination, but unfortunately Smeargle's attack stat is very low & the 35 energy charge moves don't hit very hard. This means that the timer will often run out as there are lots of stoppages (charge moves being thrown) but not enough damage in that time to take out all 3 Pokemon.
The best fighting type charge move at 35 energy is sacred sword (the signature move for the swords of justice legendary trio), hitting for 60 damage (the same as body slam & weather ball). For 5 more energy you can use flying press (Pikachu Libre's signature move) & deal a whopping 90 damage (the same as pre-nerf hydro cannon). The 50% extra damage reduces the number of charge moves needing to be thrown & hence reduces the time taken to finish the battle.
The issue is then with energy management. At 5 more energy for each charge move, energy management becomes much more precise. This is one of my most precise challenges yet & I was really pleased to pull it off. I have more Smeargle challenge's in the works, so watch out for those.
