What is the painter-like Smeargle called in Pokémon Pokopia?

The painter-like Smeargle in Pokémon Pokopia is called Smearguru.

Smearguru is a colourful Pokopia character described as a prolific painter. Its identity builds on Smeargle’s established artistic theme: Smeargle is known for the paint-like substance produced from the tip of its tail and for using that tail in artwork.

The name Smearguru is a character name used in Pokopia, not the name of a new Pokémon species or an evolution. The game gives several familiar Pokémon unusual appearances or identities as part of its distinctive world. Along with characters such as Peakychu and Mosslax, Smearguru shows how Pokopia combines recognisable Pokémon with local personalities while players rebuild the environment around them.
