What are the best moves for Smeargle? šŸ¤”

14

Thatā€™s pretty lame, putting in low CP PokĆ©mon hurts every player trying to get gold in a gym both from your team and others.

Smeargle has only one job to do. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: His best move would be Photobomb.

Might as well put them to use before transferring them. Most of the gyms around here are such high traffic, it doesnā€™t matter what you put in. If someone wants it bad enough, it will get taken. I only put high CP monsters in gyms that Iā€™m not gold at yet, or Iā€™m trying to defend for my team.

I disagree on this. The rate of decay on big CP PokƩmon is that quick they are just as quick & easy if not quicker to remove from Gyms than putting low CP junk in after a couple of hours.
Even at near full CP thereā€™s no Gym that canā€™t be taken down, even by not very strong players.
The stat rework killed off the few great defenders that stopped lower levels.
The only reason for putting decent PokƩmon in Gyms is to throw Berries at for bonus Candy.

Iā€™m encouraging my local new players to take the gyms I take. Not by intimidating them with Blisseys where they wonā€™t bother. I want the turnover. Keeps the game interesting.

Min CP Blissey is still around 200CP above maxed out Smeargle if Im not mistaken though

I never said it had to be a 2700 CP blissey I just said it hurts everyone to but an incredibly low CP pokemon in the gym. A 900-1200 cp pokemon is just as easy to take down as a 300-400 CP one, still have slow CP decay. Additionally at least some gym XP goes to the attacker and is slightly more likely to keep lazy folks from attacking if any of your team members are who may actually want to keep a gym bannered for a period of time.

I donā€™t really think into it that much. I go through the Pokedex and get rid of weakest monsters and keep 2 strongest. Right now Iā€™m killing weakest Yanmas.

Sometimes my ability to attract other pokemon to help defend a gym I just took seems to be like a marketing problem, and it seems like I get more interest by putting an unusual mon in first. (I think the fastest I saw my 1 defender get 5 strong helpers was the time I put in a 10 CP Pidgey.)

Most of the time Iā€™m driving so I just throw whatever I click on the fastest

When this game was released, a whole bunch of guardian angels must have started racking up some serious overtime for guys like usā€¦ Try if you can to be safe and use good sense.

And if youā€™re fresh out of sense, I think I heard HEB advertising discounts on bulk packs of it this weekend. (Or maybe they were saying we could save dollars and cents, not save dollars on sense?)
