Technician
Moves with 60 base power or less do 50% more damage.

Baton Pass support
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 HP 4 Defense 252 Speed.
Item: Salac Berry/Leftovers
Ability: Own Tempo
Spore
Ingrain
Substitute
Baton Pass

This moveset is particularly useful for Baton Pass chains because it keeps everything from being phazed. Salac berry can be used if you want to pass a speed boost to the receiver, Leftovers can make Smeargle bulkier.


Belly Drum
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Attack 252 Speed.
Item: Focus Sash/Salac Berry
Ability: Own Tempo
Belly Drum
Extremespeed/Substitute
Explosion/Spore
Baton Pass

This moveset is designed to pass a belly drum to your teammate, Focus Sash is designed to let you get off a Belly drum and Baton Pass. Extremespeed lets you OKHO things if you've got no-one to pass to or unless you want to attack. Substitute gives your recipient a shield from status moves

The choice between Explosion and Spore is a personal one, if you have a physical sweeper which is frail, that is gonna be the recipient than use Spore to ease things and if you use it on the first turn of a battle, you can cripple your opponent and while he switches out, you can Belly drum, then BP.


Nasty Plot
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 Special Attack 4 Defense 252 Speed.
Item: Salac Berry
Ability: Own Tempo
Nasty Plot
Spore/Judgment
Substitute
Baton Pass

This is separate from the first moveset since this serves a different purpose. Focus sash is not on here, since you have substitute. Salac berry is used to pass a speed boost which helps your recipients. Tail Glow can be used instead of Nasty Plot, though it is harder to get, though they both accomplish the same thing.

Spore lets you cripple the opponent, which lets you, as mentioned before lets you get a boost. Judgment is for STAB and if you've got anyone to pass to, or just want to fight. It also protects you from Taunt.


Agility
Nature: Jolly/Timid
EVs: 252 Attack 4 Defense 252 Speed/ 252 Special Attack 4 Defense 252 Speed
Item: Liechi Berry/Petaya Berry
Ability: Own Tempo
Rock Polish
Extremespeed/Judgment
Substitute
Baton Pass

This is a combination of the previous sets, the main difference between this one and the others is that, it can pass more speed boosts(instead of +1, it can pass +2), with the added addition of boosting Special atttack or attack.

Rock Polish can be used instead of Agility, though Agility is easier to obtain. They both accomplish the same thing.


Lead
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Attack 4 Defense 252 Speed
Item: Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
Taunt/Explosion
Belly Drum
Extremespeed
Fake Out

Start out with Fake Out, if your opponent has a Sash it will be nullified. Then Belly Drum, focus sash will let you survive, then just extremespeed. Then start again.

Taunt works with prediction, if you predict your opponent is going to set up rocks, then Taunt away. Explosion can be used as a surprise.


Other Options

Smeargle has everything in the book, they are literary millions of other options. Though they do not work as great as some sets because of his low stats.

EVs

252 EVs are the way to go. Put them in Speed for all sets because Smeargle's speed is pretty good.


Opinion

Smeargle is the reason why it isn't so simple to just Roar / Whirlwind out of Baton Pass chains. Smeargle can cause your loss right away, even outside of the chain, because Baton Passing a Belly Drum and a Salac boost to something like Medicham is just plain "good game". Beware of Smeargle, despite its frailty.

Taunt can get some sets without attacking moves. Ghosts counter most of the sets. For Nasty Plot, Blissey can counter it and many physical walls can counter the physical set.

I may decide to add more sets.
