How to Get Any Move via Sketch

Battle any Blueberry League Elite Four Members or Trainers

# Steps
1
Equip your Smeargle with Focus Sash to ensure it survives a hit.
Optional: You can also opt to equip a Focus Sash on the Pokemon whose move you want to bestow.
2
Put Smeargle and the Pokemon whose move you want to teach in the first two slots in your party.
If your Pokemon whose move you want to Sketch is slower than Smeargle, give it a Choice Scarf to bump up their Speed.
3
Head into the League Club Room and Save before talking to any trainer you wish.
Note: You need to have finished the Mochi Mayhem Epilogue for Carmine and Kieran to appear in the clubroom.
4
Challenge them into a battle.
If you haven't finished their Trade, you have to go through a few sets of dialogue first.
5
Once the battle starts, choose the move you wish to Sketch on your other Pokemon.
6
Choose Sketch on Smeargle.
If Smeargle moves first, just reset your Save and retrain your Pokemon to make Smeargle slower than your other Pokemon.
7
Smeargle should now know the Move!
You can use PP Ups or PP Max to get more uses for the move you just obtained.
8
At this point, you can just lose the battle or defeat the Trainer you chose.
Make sure to bring strong Pokemon like Miraidon or Koraidon to quickly defeat them!.
