Niantic has been introducing new Pokemon through various Raid battles and Community Day events, but this time Pokemon GO has taken a new approach for adding a new Pokemon namely Smeargle.
Although all the Johto leagues generation 2 Pokemon were introduced during 2017 in Pokemon GO, still one Pokemon was healed back from being included to the title. Smeargle had to wait for a while to be included in the title as this Pokemon features a very unique move.
Smeargle is a gen 2 Pokemon which has a unique ability known as Sketch. The Sketch move allows Smeargle to copy the ability of the enemies Pokemon and counterattack them with their own moves.
Niantic had to put this Pokemon on hold during 2017 as the game was not developed enough to support such move types and moreover, no other Pokemon had such move set, so it became hard for developers to add this cute monster to the title.
But possibly developers at Niantic have figured out an intersecting way of including this Pokemon to the title. Pokemon GO fans have an exciting opportunity to experience Smeargle to the title, as Niantic has featured Smeargle to its newly introduced GO Snapshot.
Pokemon GO fans can only catch a Smeargle through GO Snapshot a new AR feature introduced by Niantic. Players have to take photos using the GO Snapshot, and there is a possibility that Smeargle could appear in any of the clicked images.
It is totally random, but once you manage to click a picture with Smeargle with it, then you can catch this cute pokemon and include him to your team. This is entirely a new way of capturing a Pokemon in the title as previously players had to complete Community Day challenges or win raid battles or go through research tasks to obtain a Pokemon.
Although catching Smeargle through GO Snapshot does not emphasize on the special sketch move. Still, trainers are happy to receive a Pokemon which can be captured with minimum effort and maximum fun. Moreover, players can add Smeargle to their Pokedex and utilize this monster in creative ways.
The team of developers at Niantic have figured out a unique way of including the special Sketch move of Smeargle as traditionally this Pokemon copied the moves of the opponent in the battle and use those copied moves against them.
But in Pokemon GO Smeargle will sketch the abilities of any Pokemon which is being photographed using the GO Snapshot feature in the game. It is concededly a unique way of including the special ability of Smeargle and promoting the newly introduced GO Snapshot feature in the game.
How to sketch other Pokemon abilities using Smeargle?
To catch a Smeargle, trainers have to choose a Pokemon which they want to sketch, as Smeargle can copy or sketch the ablates of the pokemon which trainer is taking photographs of.
But trainers have to keep in mind that Smeargle is not capable of copying all the moves of enemies like other Pokemon such as Ditto’s Transform. Trainers should make a wise decision while selecting a Pokemon for Smeargle to copy as by using the sketch ability trainers will have two Pokemon with similar abilities.
Although Smeargle can copy the moves and abilities of the foe still this Pokemon is unable to copy the stats and CP level so, the CP level of this pocket monster does not exceed over 500.
So trainers should be very cautious while using the Sketch ability of Smeargle and copy only those abilities which you consider as necessary for your team. Also, players have to keep in mind that the GO Snapshot feature can only be used by those who have at least reached level 5 or above.
Let’s see how the fans and community members of Pokemon GO react to this feature as it would provide them with something entirely different and provide them with a new Pokemon by just clicking pictures.
