Wait so if you don't want to use magic paint to learn a move immediately, you keep your old moveset and just have the item dangling in your inventory? The journal says it "bequeaths" sketch so I thought you just have your dudes waddle around with the paint to explain how and why your awesome rattata can use sketch and move onward from there.

“bequeaths” is a stupid word choice mike made and i need to go back and edit it

just do whatever, im really tired of receiving like 3 asks a day about this with people not bothering to look back a page or two or ASK ON THE JOURNAL about it OR READ IN THE COMMENTS ON THE JOURNAL BEFORE SENDING ME ANONYMOUS ASKS

seriously this is like the 30th ask  please save me some time and ask someone else or ask somewhere else
