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!

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.

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. 😝

More information

Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Smeargle, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

Catch rate formula

Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
