'''Smeargle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ドーブル ''Doble'') is a {{t|Normal}}-type Pokémon first seen in the [[Generation II]] games. Its single move, {{m|Sketch}}, allows it to learn almost any move in existence.

'''Smeargle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドーブル''' ''Doble'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].
 
It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.
 
Smeargle is best known for its ability to use the move {{m|Sketch}}, which permanently copies the last move used by the opponent. Due to this, it can legitimately have any [[move]] in the Pokémon games except for {{m|Chatter}}, {{m|Struggle}}, and [[Shadow move]]s — though it can learn {{m|Dark Void}} and {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}, it cannot use those moves as they can only be used by {{p|Darkrai|specific}} {{p|Hoopa|Pokémon}}. As a result of this, it can pass on any [[Egg Move]] to Pokémon in the {{egg3|Field}}.
 
==Biology==
[[File:Jack Pollockson Smeargle.png|thumb|left|220px|Smeargle with various tail colors]]
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. Sprites from the games depict green, brown, and red, while [[EP197|the anime]] also shows yellow and blue. Smeargle has a footprint on its back that is the same color as the tip of the tail. The mark is placed on Smeargle's back as a sign of adulthood. 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.
 
Smeargle uses its paint to mark its territory. There are over 5,000 known different marks that Smeargle uses. Each Smeargle's tail is predetermined by the mysterious fluid secreted at the tip of the tail. There are Smeargle fanatics who will pay big money to own one. It can also use its [[signature move]], {{m|Sketch}}, to copy moves from other Pokémon. Smeargle is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Sketch. Smeargle is often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}} filled with graffiti.

* In {{g|GO}}, Smeargle only spawns after photobombing a Pokémon while taking its picture with the AR Camera.
** Outside of special events, there is a 10% chance of a Smeargle photobomb for each session with the AR Camera, up to one photobomb per day.
* Smeargle will know the same moves as the Pokémon it photobombed, if possible.
** If the Pokémon knows two Charged Attacks, Smeargle will learn the one in the first slot.
** If that Pokémon knows a move Smeargle cannot learn, Smeargle will have a random move instead.
***Smeargle cannot learn the Fast Attack {{m|Transform}}, or the Charged Attack: {{m|Frustration}}, {{m|Return}}, {{m|Weather Ball}} (Rock), {{m|Luster Purge}}, or {{m|Mist Ball}}.
* Smeargle cannot learn a second Charged Attack, even if the photobombed Pokémon has one.
* Smeargle cannot use a TM or an Elite TM to change its moves. <!--Smeargle used to be able to re-roll its moves via TM, but this was changed sometime after initial release-->

==Trivia==
* Due to its [[signature move]] {{m|Sketch}}, Smeargle can legitimately know almost any [[move]], giving it a number of distinctions:
** Smeargle can pass down any [[Egg Move]] combination to any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{egg3|Field}}. This was important in Generations II to V, when only the father could pass down Egg Moves.
** {{m|Hidden Power}}-evaluating NPCs cannot identify the type of Smeargle's Hidden Power even if Smeargle possesses the move, due to being unable to use the TM for it.
** Prior to [[Generation IX]], Smeargle was able to sketch {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} and {{m|Dark Void}} (starting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}), but the moves would always fail when used by Pokémon other than {{p|Hoopa}} {{form|Hoopa|Unbound}} and {{p|Darkrai}}, respectively.
* Smeargle is the only Pokémon capable of learning the same move by leveling up more than four times—some Pokémon have the same move available at level 1 as well as by leveling up, while Smeargle has the same move available ten times as it levels up.
* In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] mission "Smeargle's Desperate Plea", even though the Smeargle refuses to have a paw painted onto its back, the paw print is nonetheless present on its sprite.
* 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 brown tip in its shiny coloration, which is the same as how it was in [[Generation II]], despite these games being part of [[Generation III]].
* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Smeargle can have either blue, red, or green back and tail colors depending on its IV stats.
* Because it's only ever capable of learning Sketch by level up, and being unable to learn any [[TM]] or [[HM]] move, Smeargle has both the smallest and the largest move pool out of any Pokémon.


=Trivia=
===Origin===
Smeagle's abilities to copy foe's powers by using an art-based move called "Sketch" are identical to party member [[wp:Relm Arrowny|Relm Arrowny's]] from [[wp:Final Fantasy VI|Final Fantasy VI]].
Smeargle appears to be based on a {{wp|beagle}} and a {{wp|painter}}. Its tail is used as a {{wp|paintbrush}}, its head looks like it is wearing a {{wp|beret}}, a hat often associated with painters, and it has a {{wp|footprint}} stamped on its back which is a form of art.


==Origin==
====Name origin====
Smeargle appears to be based on a beagle and an artist.
Smeargle may be a combination of ''smear'' and ''beagle''.


===Name origin===
Doble may be a combination of ''dog'', ''daub'', and ''doodle''. It may also be derived from ''doble'' (Spanish for double), possibly referring to Smeargle's ability to copy moves.
Smeargle's name may be a combination of ''smear'' and ''[[wp:beagle|beagle]]''. Its Japanese name may be a combination of "dog" and "dabble" - to splatter liquid, which could be a reference to paint being splattered.
