Smeargle 30/75 · Neo Discovery

Neo Discovery is a set in the Neo series. It was released on June 1, 2001. The printed size is 75, and the checklist is the same length. Smeargle is 30/75, in position 30 of 75 on this checklist. Before it is 29 Scizor, and after it is 31 Tyranitar. The listed rarity is Rare.

Smeargle is a Basic Colorless Pokémon with 50 HP. The card lists level 27. In the Pokédex this is Smeargle (#235), generation 2 (Johto).

Hironobu Yoshida illustrated this card. The same name is on 38 other cards in the catalog.

Smeargle (#235) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 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 Rare. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and Hironobu Yoshida illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Smeargle list a different HP.

The attack Sketch lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. If the Defending Pokémon attacked last turn, and Smeargle was in play during that attack, Smeargle copies that attack except for its Energy costs and anything else required in order to use that attack. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Psychic -30. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "A special fluid oozes from the tip of its tail. It paints the fluid everywhere to mark its territory."

I keep a set binder for Neo Discovery, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Discovery set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Smeargle can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
