Smearguru is the name of the paint-splattered Smeargle in Pokémon Pokopia.
Smearguru has vibrant colors splashed across its body. Like an artist at work, it uses its tail as a brush, making the Pokémon look like a painter. The character is one of Pokopia’s unusual residents and is introduced as part of the game’s peculiar-looking Pokémon group.
The design builds on Smeargle’s established identity. In the main Pokémon series, Smeargle is associated with painting and uses the end of its tail as a brush. Pokopia exaggerates that theme by covering this individual Smeargle in bright paint, making its name and appearance immediately recognizable.
Smearguru should not be confused with a move, item, or species evolution. It is a named Pokopia character. The other unusual residents introduced alongside it include Professor Tangrowth, Peakychu, and Mosslax, each of whom has a distinctive alteration connected to the game’s rebuilt settlement.
