Trivia
- Smeargle's abilities to copy foes' powers by using an art-based move called "Sketch" are identical to party member Relm Arrowny's from Final Fantasy VI.
- Smeargle has the largest potential movepool out of all Pokémon (able to learn any attack, even legendary-exclusive attacks).
- Smeargle is the only non-legendary, non-dragon type Pokémon able to get Draco Meteor.
- Smeargle is one of three Pokémon able to use Transform, the others being Mew and Ditto.
- In Generation II games, Smeargle's shiny form changes its original brownish colour to green. In later games, however, green becomes its most common colour.
Origin
Smeargle appears to be based on a beagle and an artist.
Name origin
Smeargle's name may be a combination of smear and beagle. Its Japanese name may be a combination of "dog" and "dabble" - to splatter liquid, which could be a reference to paint being splattered.
