#235. Smeargle live in groups, each with their own color of paint. They enjoy combing and preening their tails to be their favorite brush shape, and are more likely to pick shapes other Smeargle don't have. Together, they make full masterpieces.

Design process undercut

So this guy was a bit of a ride to design. At first, I decided to base it off lemurs, because I wanted to make smeargle an animal with a long tail + its more monkey like body. So I started studying lemurs

And then i realized that fuck, grafaiai exists LOL. thats literally a lemur aye-aye. So i had to pivot, and I considered other animals like coati and even just giving up and making it a dog like a bull terrier, but then I was talking to a friend who reminded me of kinkajous. and then it all came together. i also took the time to do some design studies for grafaiai, but you wont get to see that until i finish that design innit

After that, there wasn't much to worry about. Smeargle is a simple design and I kept most of it simple, with just adding some countershading to the body and some extra paint spots. The way the tail works is so that they're still able to grab on branches and use it normally, so the ink fur cuts off at the end and is only present on one side

The Maternal Pokémon

One of the first Pokémon to openly interact with humans since ancient times, this Pokémon seems to posses a great instinct to protect the young of any species. In the beginning, they used to use the fluff on their neck to warm little ones to sleep while rocking them and singing a lullaby. But with their time coexisting with humans, they eventually learned how to better utilize it by learning how to convert it to a finer string and using it to wove and knit pieces of clothing.

While passive, nurturing and gentle most of the time, they posses a fierce instinct to protect those that are vulnerable and weak, and use their scissor like tails (which they usually keep closed) at not only their knitted work, but to threat any who seem shady or suspicious.

They have a very close relationship to Pokémon such as Drampa, Kangaskhan, Leavanny, Audino and the Chansey line, in which they usually take the role of the “aggressive one” when needed (though they sometimes compete with Kangaskhan for it) and seem to enjoy collaborating with them in general.

To be continued, stay tuned!

[pokemonshelterstories]

If a smeargle sketches one of the known HM moves is it humane or safe to have it employ the HM move?

it really depends on what the move is. something like strength or rock smash is probably fine- a smeargle can reasonably maintain those moves for the amount of time needed, because they're quick actions performed on the ground. fly or surf? i'd be very skeptical. while a smeargle can copy the energy needed for these moves, they aren't natural behaviors, and their bodies aren't meant to keep them going past the brief amount of time a battle takes. even if a smeargle managed to pull them off with a trainer riding them, that would exhaust the poor thing. it's not worth it to try, either from a safety or a welfare standpoint.
