So, I've been wanting to breed a metagross of my own for a while now, but using the spore+false swipe technique on wild Beldum is has no rate of success as the Beldum wake up rather frequently and knock themselves out with take down recoil. Some people suggested using conversion to turn smeargle into a ghost type, but that strategy on its own requires too much effort to enact and since the moves spore, false swipe and soak(to make grass types affected by spore and ghosts affected by false swipe) are mandatory, I can't fit the two moves needed to catch beldum. What are the other best ways to catch wild beldum for breeding purposes?

Shedinja false swipe + gengar hypnosis

Could make a specialized Smeargle set with a ghost move in your first slot and conversion to turn it into a ghost type. 

 

Edit: Didn't read all the way lol. Can't make more than one Smeargle?

too much effort, man. The price would be the same as just buying random beldum from the gts for breeding purposes
