Smearguru is a Pokemon that you will encounter in Bleak Beach in Pokemon Pokopia. Read on to learn more about Smearguru, its habitat, specialty, likes, requests, and its story role!

Smearguru can initially be found in Bleak Beach muttering and obsessing over their art, then later on offers their services as a painter to Ditto, using Paint to color or coat different furniture in various designs.

Take note that Smearguru can only paint over eligible furniture. Furniture that can be painted is marked by the paintbrush icon on their information snippet when viewing them in the inventory.

Smearguru is involved in several requests related to paints, and the first one is Crush a Leppa Berry which, as the name suggests, will require you to have some Leppa Berries crushed by a Pokemon to create red paint.

Smearguru is unique from other Smeargles as they are covered in paint, notably, Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow.
Do note that Smearguru retains the same typing as a regular Smeargle, so only the general appearance of Smearguru is different compared to the species that it belongs to.
