So. I was in the Battle Frontier, right? And I caught this totally badass Smergle. I was all ready to start raping faces with a completely custom moveset, when I looked at the stats. They were horrible.
I'm pretty lazy, so I want to know before I start raising one from an egg. Is it worth it to raise a Smergle? Will its stats be at least decent enough for battle or will it always be an excuse?
Doesn't Smeargle only have one move? If so, I wouldn't bother.
Smeargle's one mover allows it to permanently copy an opponents move.
But his stats are really bad. I personally wouldn't spend time training one :O
Ya, that one move is useless if you accidently go up against growl, or something, though.

Go into a double battle and copy your other Pok?mon's move. That way you can hand pick your moveset.

Read this and find something you like. (http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/smeargle)
I still think having a Pokemon with only one move is a bad strategy, unless it is transform.

Transform is crap unless the opposer has a move that's super effective to itself.
Smeargle can get its one move multiple times. So if you really wanted, you could give it a moveset using moves like Judgment and Dark Void. I guess it could be useful as a support Pokemon. You could give it Stealth Rock/ Spikes and Dark Void ;D
It's attack stats are awful, but its pretty decent in speed.
I wouldn't train a Smeargle, but I do like how you can get your own custom moveset. All you gotta do it go in a double battle and use a pok?mon who has a move you wanna copy, copy it, then either level up Smeargle 10 levels, or take him to the move tutor to remember sketch.

...Smeargle can learn Sketch at any of 10 levels, meaning you get a chance to learn the move again if you use it before gaining those additional levels. It also allows you to get 10 chances at the 4 moves you want.
I have a smeargle with Judgement, Dark Void, Magma storm, and Shadow force (Giratina). Took 5 months to make, since I relied on a lot of metronome and restarting XD
I could actually see Smeargle as a Pokemon in Brawl, with all this talk about Sketch and whatnot.
Just a thought ::)

Not really, seeing as he won't beat out Lucario, PT, or Pikachu. He might be able to edge out Blaziken for Jigglypuff's spot, however.

Jigglypuff would never leave Smash Bros. It's a known fact.

Why do you continue to insist that Blaziken would boot Jiggs? Jiggs is too classic to be removed :P
Blaziken has no chance of getting a spot as playable in Smash Bros, unless he was part of a new Pok?mon Trainer ;-)

Lulz
Two new Pokemon Reps for SSB4... (Well, PT has new Pokemon, anyway)
Pokemon Trainer - Ivysaur, Squirtle, Charizard, Cyndaquil, Croconaw, Meganium.
Pokemon Rival - Treecko, Marshtomp, Blaziken, Grotle, Empoleon, Chimchar.
At the roster screen, small icons of the pokemon will appear at PT/PR's character portrait. Select the three Pokemon you would like to use, and they will appear, along with PT/PR on the portrait. Again, they each have three Special Moves and a Pokemon Change Down B.
PT is just like he was in Brawl, and PR is much more, shall we say, menacing...
That leaves our roster with Pikachu, Jiggs, PT, PR, and possibly Lucario/Mewtwo. 4-5 reps ain't so bad, and giving each Trainer the traditional 6 Pokemon truly represents all four generations. You may think this is overloading the Pokemon Franchise, but the Pokemon Franchise is overloaded with nearly 500 Pokemon, as it is. This many reps only makes sense >_>. Besides, now you can
truly have a Pokemon Battle without two people using the same Pokemon :P
Excuse me, this was about Smeargle. If you want to talk about poopty games like Brawl, go to the appropriate board, faggots.
oh....Smeargle isn't really worth raising, even if it can copy any move.

What if you used a macho brace on it from a low level? Isn't that thing suppossed to make the stats raise twice as fast, despite halving the speed while it's on?

The macho brace just helps EVs grow trice as fast. Its not really going to help out Smeargle.
