hmmm can there maybe be something with sketch where certain moves that make sense can be used without a medium like aromatherapy, because with that you're making a medium but it's being used up in the move and you have to re-sketc, yes they should use up 1.5X energy and I do agree that sketch before was a bit broken, but a nerf of this magnitude will render smeargle little better than a pokemon that only knows mimmic or me first, smeargle's main weapon is unpredictability and this will be taking that, I mean without the ability to directly sketch something it can be rendered useless by a first turn taunt and if you're up against a gallade then, well you get the picture
