Smeargle 48/115 · Unseen Forces

Smeargle, Unseen Forces #48

Smeargle is Pokédex #235, generation 2 (Johto). Smeargle is a Basic Colorless Pokémon with 50 HP.

Smeargle sits at 48/115 in Unseen Forces, position 50 of 145. Before it is 47 Shuckle, and after it is 49 Xatu. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on August 1, 2005. The printed size is 115. This checklist is longer, at 145 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Makeover is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may discard a basic Energy card attached to 1 of your Pokémon (excluding Pokémon-ex). If you do, search your discard pile for a basic Energy card (excluding the one you discarded) and attach it to that Pokémon. This power can't be used if Smeargle is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Split Spiral Punch lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

Smeargle (#235) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Smeargle 32/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 50 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Uncommon. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Smeargle list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Sumiyoshi Kizuki. I count 212 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Unseen Forces set binder is where a full Unseen Forces set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Smeargle can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
