Hello, I'm an expert in the field of Pokémon, and I'd be happy to help you with your question about Smeargle and the move "Sketch."
Smeargle is a unique Pokémon with the ability "Own Tempo," which prevents it from being confused. This means that Smeargle cannot be affected by the move "Sketch" in the way that other Pokémon can. "Sketch" is a normal-type move that allows a Pokémon to copy the last move used by the opponent. However, there are a few nuances to consider:
1. Smeargle can use Sketch to copy other moves, but it can only do this once per battle. After copying a move, Sketch is then replaced in Smeargle's move set with the move it copied.
2. If Smeargle is holding a Metronome, it can use Sketch multiple times per battle, copying a different move each time until it has copied all possible moves.
3. Smeargle cannot copy certain moves, such as "Sketch" itself, "Struggle," "Chatter," and moves that have multiple effects depending on the situation (like "Nature Power").
4. If an opponent uses "Sketch" on a Smeargle that already has a move set full of eight moves, the last move in Smeargle's move set will be replaced with the move copied by "Sketch."
So, to answer your question directly: Smeargle cannot be made to struggle by using the move "Sketch" because it is immune to confusion. However, Smeargle itself can use "Sketch" to copy other moves, with some limitations as described above.

Yes, it can via Sketch. Even the exclusive moves. The only moves that Sketch has no effect on are Struggle and Chatter, as of Gen 5. That means that it is impossible for Smeargle to know Chatter, although if it runs out of PP, Smeargle can use Struggle.
