For example, say you'd like an Ursaring who knows Night Slash and Close Combat. When you check what Pokémon can give those moves, you realize no one parent can send both, and you'll have to settle for just one.
But wait! There's hope!
Enter Smeargle!
Smeargle can learn any move with Sketch. (Except for Chatter)
Anyone in the Ground Egg Group can breed with Smeargle. Any female in the Ground Egg Group can have Smeargle pass any combination of Egg Moves onto hatched Pokémon. Sketch Close Combat and Night Slash and breed with a female Ursaring. The baby will have both moves!
Smeargle starts with a single Sketch on level 1 and learns a new one every ten levels, provided you've used the Sketch already in your move list. Setting up the Sketches can take a little time. Sketching your partner Pokémon in a Double Battle is certainly the best method. If you're short on TMs, Smeargle's ability to Sketch TM moves and breed them can be indispensable. Any Pokémon can have TMs they are compatible with bred into them, so keep that in mind.
By chaining from Smeargle's moves through multiple Egg Groups, you could get unusual Egg Move combinations or rare TMs to Pokémon outside of the Ground Egg Group too. Just look for someone who can breed with Smeargle that is in multiple Egg Groups, and experiment.
Keep Smeargle in mind when you encounter a problem with Egg Moves, or run out of TMs!
