Smeargle (Japanese: ドーブル Doble) is a Normal-type Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Smeargle is best known for its ability to use the move 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 Chatter and Struggle (not including Shadow moves). As a result of this, it can pass on any Egg Move to Pokémon in the Field Egg Group.
Biology
Smeargle is a beagle-like, bipedal Pokémon 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. Sprites from the games depict green, brown and red, while the anime also shows yellow and blue. Smeargle will use the paint to mark its territory. It can also use its signature move, Sketch, to copy moves from other Pokémon.
Smeargle has a footprint on its back that is the same color as the tip of the tail. Smeargle also has a round structure on its head with a point that resembles a 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 have three digits. Smeargle is often found in urban areas.

Learnset
Smeargle can learn practically any set of moves due to Sketch, which permanently copies any move. However, Sketch cannot be used to learn Sketch, Chatter or Struggle.

Trivia
- Due to its signature move Sketch, Smeargle can legally possess any move (other than Chatter or Struggle), giving it a number of distinctions:
- Smeargle is the only Pokémon able to have both Outrage and Own Tempo, making it able to use the move without becoming confused.
- Smeargle is the only non-starter, non-event Pokémon able to legally know Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, Grass Pledge, Fire Pledge, or Water Pledge.
- Smeargle is the only Pokémon that can have these moves in different combinations of types.
- Smeargle can pass down any Egg Move combinations to any Pokémon in the Field Egg Group. This is important in Generations II to V, when only the father can pass down Egg Moves.
- 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 able to Sketch Hyperspace Fury, but the move will always fail when used by Pokémon other than Hoopa Unbound.
- Smeragle is able to sketch Dark Void, however starting in Pokemon Sun and Moon is unable to use it, due to it needing to be used by Darkrai.
- Smeargle is the only Pokémon capable of learning the same move 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 anime, Smeargle have been seen with different colored-tipped tails.
- This is also the case In Pokémon Stadium 2, where they have also differently colored backs.
- 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.
- Smeargle has the lowest base stat total of all Pokémon not part of an evolutionary line.
- In Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Smeargle's tail has a brown tip in its normal coloration (as it was in Generation II) instead of a green one, despite these games being part of Generation III. This is due to the games re-using models from Pokémon Stadium 2 for first and second-generation Pokémon.
Origin
Smeargle appears to be based on a beagle and a painter.
Name origin
Smeargle may be a combination of smear and beagle.
Doble may be a combination of dog and doodle or dabble (to splatter liquid, which could be a reference to paint being splattered). Doble also means double in Spanish, perhaps referencing Smeargle's ability to copy opponent's techniques.
