==Biology==

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.

** 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 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==

** 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.

* 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 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.
