Tips

Pokemon Go Smeargle tips

There are some aspects to consider when trying to catch Smeargle in Pokemon Go:

• If Smeargle is going to appear, it will be in the first photo you take each time you open the camera, so you don’t need to spam the photo button multiple times.
• You can only catch one Smeargle per day – this resets at midnight local time, not 24 hours after catching the last Smeargle
• The Pokemon you take a photo of doesn’t influence the chance of Smeargle appearing
• We don’t know the exact chance of Smeargle showing up, so simply rinse and repeat the above steps until it does
• Smeargle’s moveset will be copied from the Pokemon in the photo, so consider using stronger Pokemon if you want to use Smeargle in battle
• Smeargle cannot copy Transform from Ditto, nor can it learn two Charged moves
• Catching Smeargle contributes to the Cameraman badge
• Smeargle will stay in the wild for an hour before disappearing
• Smeargle can appear in a photo of another Smeargle
• Smeargle can run away from you, so throw some Razz Berries if it’s your first one
