Introduction
The purpose of this guide is to delve into the useful aspects of Smeargle. It will include the most common and flexible builds, numerous other builds that are used with explanations, linked guides to references, and overall general support in order to guide you to the best way to utilize your smeargle(s). There are times when I will point out more optimal options such as for the HM buddy builds and pay day builds. Ultimately, this is meant to guide your process of creating smeargles. I personally went through many different smeargle builds so I hope this guide serves as a way for you all to save your Pokeyen and craft the smeargle that suits your needs.

Details
 
Pokémon: Breloom
Ability: Poison Heal
Nature: Adamant
IVs: Ideally 5x31. For more practical cost-saving purposes, 2x31 with Attack and Speed and as high as you can in the other IVs.
EVs: 18 HP, 252 Attack, 240 Speed
Moves: False Swipe. Spore. Substitute. Rock Slide. (Bulldoze for Rapidash Hordes)
Item: Toxic Orb
**Wide Lens when leveling**
Prevo Moves: Giga Drain, Spore
**PREVO moves are a way to obtain the move via leveling in a PREVO form. If you evolve Shroomish into Breloom, you will have to teach Spore via the move tutor**
Egg Move: Wake up slap
**Optional, but I recommend it for versatility. It's also just one egg move from an inexpensive poke.**
**If you pass egg moves to the final breed, they are re-learnable. This means you will have expanded the maximum moveset of your final breed**
HM Moves: Cut, Flash, Rock Smash, Strength

Pokémon: Shedinja
Nature: Lonely
Optimal IVs: X/31/0/31/21/31
**HP doesn't matter. 31s in attack and speed to maximize usefulness. 0 in Defense and 21 in Special Defense to keep defenses as low as possible due to PvP purposes and to counter the download ability. 31 in Special Attack because it has some special attack moves in its move pool**
Cost-saving IVs: 2x31 in Attack/Speed.  
**A 21 IV difference between Defense and Special Defense with Special Defense being higher. A high special attack IV is nice, but not necessary.**
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 special attack
Egg moves: Final Gambit, Night Slash, Gust, Flail
**Optional, but I recommend them for versatility**
**If you pass egg moves to the final breed, they are re-learnable. This means you will have expanded the maximum moveset of your final breed**
HM moves: Cut, Flash

I agree, but instead of "your mom's house" it should be "[playername mom's house]". Such a wholesome idea to honour our moms!

Simply as stated. Make your home in each region be called "Your Moms House" for a hatch location. Because reasons. 

And I couldnt forget these loved friends too from one of the coolests team in Pokemmo (NDGO-EN) and good pvp players
@StrengthPolicy
And @AjDrewski. 
I love you very much! 💕😙
 

For story, the best item is no item. Crobat learns Acrobatics which is 110 base power when no item is held. The other moves can be Cross Poison, Roost and Crunch/Leech Life.

Hello there! I too am a Hoenn enthusiast. This game has a lot of differences, the main one I can tell you is that the difficulty is higher than the original games due to the NPC's having improved movesets, so watch out for that.

Lots of people are interested in have a back sword item, the pirate back sword can attend this mass.
 
Also, release two different style of Pirate Outfit as well the Pirate Hat in order to make pirate clothing very diverse, different wearing possibilities between players, having as well different option of accessory to wear (Sword or Gun, Handhook or Beer) as well two Limited Pirate Masks (Golden and Cursed).

In the first fashion contest, I have been a mere homeless person on a rat infested ship. But since then, I've gotten my life together, built my own Kame House on an island and opened up the Turtle School.

This event truly was spectacular. Sure, it was a little late, but as soon as the event came out, it became increasingly more apparent as to why the hold up. Great effort, great event. Awesome cosmetics, the alphas were an unexpected added touch. A 2 week event rather thsn the usual 7. And despite the big changes, rather minimal bugs on top of releasing an iOS version. Credit where its due, staff and devs did a great job in our opinion. Thankyou very much for the great event!!!!!
