* The last 2 EVs of the 510 total do not affect stats but are included so that the EV diagram in game shows the EVs as maxed

Stats at lvl 100 w/ perfect IVs:
HP: 314
Sp. Atk: 77
Sp. Def: 207
Speed : 186

Support Requirements: needs spatk debuff (e.g. struggle bug, eerie impulse) as well as spdef debuff (e.g. apple acid, lumina crash).

Strategy: wait for partner to use debuff blastoise's spatk on turn 1, amnesia, focus energy, 3x incinerate, 2x tail glow, terastalize, incinerate until your stats reset, 1-3 amnesia, 2x tail glow, incinerate to victory

Notes: smeargle's gimmick is that it can learn every possible move making it extremely versatile, but on the flip side it has terrible stats. for this reason it has tons of possibilities for various roles but is difficult to use without a 3rd player.

Pros: supereffective tera type, technician ability boosts base power of incinerate from 60 to 90, which makes it equivalent to flamethrower but with a shorter animation to save clock time, amnesia buffs spdef quickly, focus energy + razor claw gives 100% chance of critical hit, providing 1.5x multiplier for incinerate, tail flow buffs spatk very quickly, not affected by blastoise's use of iron defense or withdraw, typing does not invite spdef drops from flash cannon

Cons: tera type does not match base type, atrocious spatk stat, poor speed, HP, and spdef stats

Overall Rating: 7/10
