No, Sketch is the only move that will allow you to learn an opponents move, so Protect will not teach Smeargle Roar of Time. Also, Sketch will not permanently teach a move when in a WiFi battle - only during the battle. Any moves Sketched during a WiFi battle will revert back to Sketch. For legendaries, yes, you may sketch any move the Legendary used, no matter how crazy the idea of Smeargle with Roar of Time is.__ALSO:Sketch can do any move other than Selfdesruct, Explosion, Chatter, Struggle and Metronome. (as of Gen V). Anything other than those few can be learned, no matter the circumstances.

i think no from what i’ve heard it cant learn from wifi battlehope this helps :D

No, it doesn’t learn it. Smeargle only learns the move if it uses Sketch directly after the opponent uses the move.

Ex: Chikorita uses Razor Leaf, Smeargle uses Sketch, Smeargle learns Razoe Leaf!

But be careful, as if you fill your moves you’re have to waste Heart Scales remembering and deleting.

And it can learn any move, sig or not.
