Smeargle

Smeargle (), known in Japan as , is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Smeargle first appeared in the video games Pokémon Gold and Silver and most of its subsequent sequels. Designed by Game Freak's development team and finalized by Ken Sugimori, it has also appeared in various spin-off titles, such as Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Pokémon Pokopia, and animated adaptations of the franchise, where it is primarily voiced by Koichi Sakaguchi.

Resembling a Beagle with a beret-shaped head and a paintbrush at the end of its tail, Smeargle is classified as a Normal-type Pokémon. In the franchise's fictional universe, it uses paint-like fluid that flows from its tail to paint, creating paint markings and graffiti to mark its territory. It has the signature move, Sketch, which allows it to permanently learn any move used by the opponent. An additional variant of Smeargle, dubbed Smearguru, was introduced for the video game Pokémon Pokopia.
