When Niantic introduced the Celebi Special Research quest to Pokemon GO, it meant that there was only one Pokemon keeping players from completing their Johto region Pokedex. That Pokemon is none other that Pokedex #235 Smeargle, who still has yet to be added to the popular mobile game as of January 2019.
Since Pokemon GO now includes Pokemon up to Gen 4, some may be anxious to complete their Johto region Pokedex. However, Niantic has yet to announce any concrete plans to actually add Smeargle to the game, leaving Pokemon GO enthusiasts wondering when exactly it will finally be added. We don’t know, but there have been some clues that Smeargle could be added to Pokemon GO sooner rather than later.
Last year, well-known Pokemon GO dataminer Chrales found evidence for both Smeargle and Kecleon in a Pokemon GO update. Neither Pokemon has debuted in the game just yet, but the fact that data for Smeargle exists within the game’s files is a good indication that Niantic is at least preparing the creature for a proper debut in Pokemon GO eventually.
More recently, Niantic released a demo preview for Pokemon GO’s PvP mode through IGN, where the IGN staffers were able to play the game in “God” mode, meaning they had access to things that aren’t live on the servers. This included Smeargle, meaning that the Pokemon is ready to be added to the game proper, and is fully animated.
Since Niantic has seemingly finished creating Smeargle for Pokemon GO, to the point that it even has battle animations and the like, some may be wondering why it still has yet to debut in the game. The running theory is that Smeargle’s Sketch move, which allows it to copy the attacks of other Pokemon, has made it difficult for Niantic to incorporate it into the game because of the way Pokemon GO’s battle system works.
It seems likely that Niantic is trying to figure out a way to add Smeargle to Pokemon GO without compromising one of the Pokemon’s most unique features. Whatever Niantic decides to do with Smeargle, fans can count on the Pokemon being added to the game at some point in the future.
Pokemon GO is out now for iOS and Android mobile devices.
