What's the easiest way to Sketch moves onto Smeargle?

Let’s say if I didn’t have a person withDitto Safarito transform into myAmoongus/BreloomwithSporeand then send out mySmeargletoSketchit. What would the easiest way toSketchmoves on him be?

I’ve triedDouble Battlesat theBattle MaisonandSketched Sporeon him there but for whatever reason when I retire or get defeated mySmeargleno longer has the move which I find stupid.

I know you can find Pokemon in the wild with popularSmearglemoves likeStealth RockonGraveler’s inVictory Roadbut it’s not exactly ideal, or is this the only way to do it withoutDitto Safari?

Try the Double Battles in the Lumiose restaurants. The reason your Smeargle didn’t Sketch moves in the Battle Maison is because it is like playing competetively; your Pokémon do not gain or lose anything in those battles. Including items, such as Focus Sash.

you can still use the ditto method. You can find it easily enough in Pokemon village as a normal wild encounter. just means you’ll have to swap in the Pokemon to be copied, instead of starting with it, as it won’t have its hidden abilityhttp://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kalos/pokemonvillage.shtml(storm, stop editing my answers)

Just go into any old double battle except in the battle maison it like playing competitively with flat rules, I recommend using a Pokemon with a strong move, as the only moves thatcannotbe sketched are Metronome and Chatter, so you can even sketch judgement. Just use a trainer either in a routeorjust use a restaurant and sketch from your other Pokemon. But a triple battle will work too.
