What it does
If the Defending Pokémon attacked last turn, and Smeargle was in play during that attack, Smeargle copies that attack except for its Energy costs and anything else required in order to use that attack.
A special fluid oozes from the tip of its tail. It paints the fluid everywhere to mark its territory.

Where it came from
Released in the year 2001, the Smeargle card from the Neo Discovery expansion marked an early inclusion of the Painter Pokémon into the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed to introduce Generation II Pokémon from the Johto region to the competitive scene, acting as a bridge between the classic Base Set era and the more complex mechanics of later expansions. The set is noted for its high-quality artwork that sought to capture the distinct character designs of the Gold and Silver video games.
The card features artwork by Hironobu Yoshida, a long-time illustrator for the franchise known for his clean, expressive style. In this piece, Smeargle is depicted in a characteristic pose that emphasizes its signature move, Sketch. The design was received favorably by collectors for its vibrant holofoil pattern, which complements the colorful palette of the subject, and it remains a representative piece of the Neo-era aesthetic that emphasized thematic consistency and artistic detail.
