A short write-up on Smeargle, weaving together Pokédex notes, species lore, and evolution context.
A special fluid oozes from the tip of its tail. It paints the fluid everywhere to mark its territory.
Once it becomes an adult, it has a tendency to let its comrades plant footprints on its back.
The color of the mysterious fluid secreted from its tail is predeter mined for each SMEARGLE.
A second dex beat (Diamond) frames Smeargle as one that marks its territory by using its tail like a paintbrush.. Rotating that line on a sticky note beside the page keeps the spread feeling lived-in.
Smeargle shows up in Emerald lore as a smeargle marks its territory using a fluid that leaks out from the tip of its tail.. When you shop for cards, look for illustrations that lean into that mood instead of generic portrait poses.
