Pokémon Pokopia calls its exceptionally talented Smeargle Smearguru.
Smearguru is one of the special Pokémon encountered as Ditto restores habitats. The character is described as being unusually talented at painting, a fitting role for Smeargle because the species is known for using the tail-tip fluid associated with its signature move, Sketch.
Smeargle is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. Its artistic theme has appeared throughout Pokémon media, but Pokopia gives that idea a character-specific name and story identity.
Smearguru is not the species name and is not a standard evolution. The base Pokémon remains Smeargle; Smearguru is the game’s named individual. This is easy to confuse with generic nicknames or fan-created labels, so the exact spelling is important when identifying the character from Pokopia’s story.
