Smeargle (Japanese: ドーブル Doble) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon first seen in the Generation II games. Its single move, Sketch, allows it to learn nearly any move in existence.
Smeargle does not evolve to or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Smeargle are unusual white and brown Pokémon that seem unremarkable at first, but they possess a tail with an end that resembles a paintbrush. This paintbrush is oozing with a paint, the color is apparently different for each Smeargle (although the sprites depict green). It also appears to be wearing a beret.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Smeargle secretes a fluid from its tail, which can be used as paint. Smeargle is the only Pokémon known to express itself in an artistic fashion. Smeargle is also the only Pokémon that can learn any move permanently thanks to its signature move, Sketch.
Behavior
Smeargle live in groups. When a Smeargle reaches adulthood, the other members of the group draw a paw-print pattern on its back. Those who refuse to let themselves be marked are ostracized from the pack.
Habitat
Smeargle are very adaptable, and can live just about anywhere. You can always tell when you've found a Smeargle's territory because it will mark the boundary with the paint-like substance excreted by its tail.

Trivia
- Smeargle is the only non-legendary, non-Template:Type2 Pokémon able to legally know Draco Meteor.
- Smeargle is one of three Pokémon legally able to use Transform, the others being Mew and Ditto.
- Since Sketch lets Smeargle learn any move, it can also pass down egg moves to any Pokémon in the Ground Egg Group.
- In Generation II games, Smeargle's shiny form changes its original brownish color to green. In later games, however, green becomes its most common color, while the shiny color is red.
- Smeargle's Pokémon Diamond and Pearl sprites are almost exactly the same as those from Generation III.
- Paradoxically, Smeargle is simultaneously the Pokémon with the smallest movepool (learning only one move ever) and the Pokémon with the largest movepool (using that move to learn any other move).
Origin
Smeargle appears to be based on a beagle and a painter.
Name origin
Smeargle's name may be a combination of smear and beagle. Its Japanese name may be a combination of dog and doodle or dabble – to splatter liquid, which could be a reference to paint being splattered.
It could also be a combination of doberman, a kind of dog, and double, as a reference to Sketch, which copies the previous move used.
Its German name, Farbeagle, comes from Farbe and beagle. Its French name, Queulorior, comes from queue and colorier.
