Smeargle's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Smeargle PvE Analysis

Smeargle is a unique Pokémon. It copies the moveset of the species it photobombs, making it the Pokémon with the most diverse movepool in the game. However, even with the best moves, it’s useless due to its mere 40 Attack stat and 83 Defense (the 146 Stamina doesn’t make any difference). 🫣🫣🫣

This Pokémon is just a collectible.

Smeargle PvP Analysis

With hideous stats, Smeargle is just terrible in PvP. Since it maxes out at 487 CP, it can be a fun wildcard in the Little Cup with an unexpected moveset, but that’s the only redeeming quality it has in PvP.

The rest is completely pointless. 😝

Fast Attacks

Trainers beware! Team Rocket's at it again - we stole Smeargle's Fast Attacks to teach our Meowth some new tricks, but don't worry, we'll give them back soon... or maybe not, muahaha!

Charged Attacks

Listen up, twerp! Team Rocket is proud to announce that we've successfully pulled off our latest heist - we've stolen all of Smeargle's moves! Don't worry, we'll return them once we've used them to conquer the world, one gym battle at a time. Looks like it's game over for you, Trainer!
