DS now has 3, one per account. It took less than 10 mins.
I still don't have one at all.

Woo-hoo I got one 😁

Someone just posted this on our WhatsApp group thread:

  1. The chance of Smeargle photobomb is based on per photo SESSION. Not on per photo taken. This means if you snap the first pic, and he's not in it, exit the photo session and try again.
  2. It is not based on any particular pokemon. Completely RNG and chance.
  3. It's not based on how you take the picture or how many pictures were taken. Smeargle always photobombs the first picture of a photo session. (Refer to #1)
  4. Smeargle will inherit the moves (fast/charged) of the pokemon you snapped a picture of. This includes LEGACY MOVES. It CANNOT learn Transform via Ditto
  5. Smeargle will inherit the weight and height of the pokemon you snapped a picture of. (XL/XS)
  6. Smeargle can't be weather boosted like Meltan (as of now, but can change in future).
  7. Smeargle can run away (careful with pinaps)! And can be caught once per day via the same method (resets at 12 AM local time).
  8. Smeargle will spawn for exactly 1 hour from the geographic position you snapped the photo.
  9. You do not need to check your gallery and review photos. You can see his head in the photo circle in the corner and the circle will pulsate if he indeed photobombed you.

Happy Smeargling!

Just checking in, still catching up on old thread.

MrsFoxPlus4 · 26/02/2019 09:23

You can get one smeargle a day. Completely random why and how it’ll pop up. Took me 25 photos seen it take someone else 250. It also can run away! It copy’s the moveset of the Pokemon you photographed

Does Smeargle pop up more than once does anyone know?? He appeared on mine and ran away after jumping out the pokeball!!

SileneOliveira · 26/02/2019 07:58

Got my Smeargle this morning. It seems to pop up on the first photo or not at all - so it seems to be pointless to take 10 pictures of the same pokemon in the hope it'll be in picture 7 or 8.

BaronessBomburst · 26/02/2019 07:44

He's not bombed us yet either, which I'm secretly relieved about. If DS had found a bombed photo from two days ago it would not have been a such a peaceful breakfast.

CookieSwirlC · 26/02/2019 07:32

I’ve taken more than a hundred photos and no Smeargle for me. Angry

SneakyGremlins · 26/02/2019 07:05

Well done! Grin it will have copied your squirtle's moves

Soubriquet · 26/02/2019 07:04

Or should I say got her!

Soubriquet · 26/02/2019 07:04

I never saw him photobomb... he was just there in the wild. Wasn’t until I went back and looked at the photo that I spotted the bugger.

But I got him!!

I just tried it and got no photobomb?

Changenameday · 25/02/2019 23:33

Take pictures with the new camera feature and it “photobombs” and then appears in the wild

How do you get the Smeargle, is it in the wild?
Also, can someone explain what you’re all doing when you “co-ordinate” eggs please?
New to this thread, just discovering that other people actually still play too!!

MrsFoxPlus4 · 25/02/2019 23:09

I use a togepi, I’m not sure if you can get it more than once

Galvantula · 25/02/2019 23:04

Hi all, I've been away for about 10 threads after dipping in a bit. I struggle a bit due to no handy pokestops or gyms near me. 🙄

I'm off back to the last thread to add some friends, if you get a request from someone that sounds a bit like squirtle that'll be me thanks. Then I need to hit some pokestops for gifts.

Changenameday · 25/02/2019 23:01

Mine has copied the stats and annoyingly I just used a pidgey to trial it!
