Answer 1

If you are using it on a Pokemon slower than you. You will most likely be OHKOed by an opponent who is faster than you, since smeargle has trash defense(it has trash everything and decent speed actually). I would never recommend smeargle competitively. If you do want it on your team tho, replace leftovers with focus sash

If you donwvote this, plz tell me why you did so

Thx. Sometimes peeople downvote me and I have no idea waht I got downvoted on

Answer 2

In every format that I know (except maybe this really obscure one called TagMons), when you use spore, the opponent will switch out and you will have wasted a turn. If you don't use spore, then the opponent will one-shot you, and you will have wasted a Pokemon. So this Smeargle usually can't do anything and I wouldn't recommend using it.
