* It is possible for Smeargle to have both effects of the move {{m|Curse}}, provided the right moves have been Sketched.  One is by simply using it to the non-{{type2|Ghost}} effect of Curse.  The other is by using either {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, or (starting in [[Generation III]]) a {{m|Skill Swap}}ped or {{m|Role Play}}ed {{a|Color Change}} to change its type to Ghost and have the Ghost effect of Curse.  In Generation II, it shared this trait with {{p|Porygon}} and {{p|Porygon2}}, who could learn Curse via [[TM03]]; starting with Generation III, Smeargle is the only Pokémon that can do the strategy it once shared with Porygon and Porygon2 legally.

* Initially, the normal sprite of Smeargle featured a tail tipped with red paint, while the shiny form had green paint; this was changed in later generations, reversing the colors. Smeargle's art has always featured a green-tipped tail, however.
