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 as part of the Neo Discovery expansion, this card represents the introduction of Smeargle into the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The Neo Discovery set was the second installment in the Neo series, designed to integrate the generation two creatures introduced in the Pokémon Gold and Silver video games. It drew thematic inspiration from the ruins of Alph, incorporating a distinct aesthetic that leaned into the archaeological mystery of the Johto region.
The artwork for this card was created by Hironobu Yoshida, a long-time illustrator for the franchise. Yoshida captured Smeargle using its signature tail to paint, reflecting the creature's artistic nature within the established lore. The design was received by collectors as a quintessential representation of the Neo era's experimental style, which favored more dynamic, watercolor-adjacent compositions compared to the rigid, static poses found in the original Base Set.
