Smeargle (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Smeargle is a bipedal, {{wp|beagle}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with white and brown fur. It has a long tail with an end resembling a paintbrush. This paintbrush oozes with paint, and the color of the paint may vary for each Smeargle, as well as change in hue corresponding to its emotions. Smeargle has a footprint on its back that is typically the same color as the paint on the tip of its tail, though Smeargle can have seperate back and tail colors in {{g|Stadium 2}}. The mark is placed on Smeargle's back as a sign of adulthood. Smeargle's in-game appearances in {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver|s}} and {{v2|Crystal}} as well as [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] all depict it with red paint on its back and tail while its [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] coloration is depicted with green; the inverse is true in the [[Generation III]] [[Core series|core series]] games and in every game from [[Generation IV]] onwards. Pokémon Stadium 2 and [[EP197|the anime]] both depict Smeargle that have blue back and tail colors, with the anime also depicting Smeargle that have yellow back and tail colors. Its Shiny coloration in Stadium 2 can also be seen with teal, orange or indigo paint on its back and tail. Smeargle also has a round structure on its head with a point that resembles a {{wp|beret}}. It has floppy, brown ears and a brown collar on its neck. The rings encircling Smeargle's eyes are also brown, as are Smeargle's eyelids. Its arms have two brown bands, and its legs have only one. Each of its limbs has three digits.

* In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Smeargle's tail has a red tip in its normal coloration instead of a green one, and a green tip in its shiny coloration instead of a red one, which how it was depicted in the [[Generation II]] [[Core series|core series]] games despite the inverse being the case in the [[Generation III]] core series games at the time of its release.

* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Smeargle can have either red, green or blue back and tail colors and its [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] coloration can have either teal, indigo or orange back and tail colors respectively, determined by a combination of its [[Stat#Speed|Speed]], [[Stat#Defense|Defense]], [[Stat#Special|Special]] and [[Stat#Attack|Attack]] [[Individual values|DVs]].<ref>[https://bluemoonfalls.com/pages/general/stadium-hues#smeargle Stadium's Color Changing Pokémon - Blue Moon Falls]</ref>

** Uniquely, Pokémon Stadium 2 is the only game in which Smeargle is depicted with additional paint colors that aren't tied to its Shiny coloration. It is also the only instance of Smeargle's back and tail being shown with two seperate colors.
