Collector Insights

Smeargle is a Colorless-type Pokémon with 40 HP. It has a retreat cost of 1 Colorless energy and resists Psychic-type attacks by 30. The card features a single attack named "Paint" that costs 1 Colorless energy. When used, this attack flips a coin; if heads, the player selects a type other than Colorless and places a Coloring counter on the defending Pokémon, changing its type to the chosen one. If the defending Pokémon already has a Coloring counter, the old type is removed. If tails, the attack does nothing. The flavor text describes Smeargle as a Pokémon that, once mature, encourages its companions to leave footprints on its back. The card was illustrated by artist Tomokazu Komiya and is part of the Base set released in 1999. It is classified as a Promo rarity card and is numbered 32 in the series. Smeargle’s weaknesses include Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s theme color is a warm earth tone, reflecting its design aesthetic.

Once it becomes an adult, it has a tendency to let its comrades plant footprints on its back.
