The Pokémon GO loading screen was quite instructive and amazing, as Niantic has introduced the latest second-generation Pokémon: Smeargle. His missing status in the mobile game was something that had the players very confused and waiting for it to be integrated.

On the loading screen you can see how a player when taking a picture of the Pokémon Mr. Mime, shortly after appears the Smeargle surprisingly, as if he were purposely putting himself in the photograph of the other Pokémon, removing protagonism or ruining the snapshot.

Through this loading screen the track was given of the way in which this new Pokémon can be obtained, therefore, we will explain to you how to find and catch that elusive pictorial puppy.

The first thing you should do is enter the camera and choose the Pokémon you want, then start photographing it several times. This is the most likely way that Smeargle appears, because it is still very uncertain to know if there is any specific way to attract the painter or if it is totally random.

You must be very careful, because Smeargle is not shown in live mode, but you can see it when you check the pictures in the gallery. When you find it in one of the photos, select it to win a medal and activate on the map the location of this Pokémon, which will undoubtedly be waiting for you to dare to catch it.

Another point that you should consider is that Smeargle will have the movements of the Pokémon from which you took the photo, since he is a visual artist who learns or copies the movements of his opponents to use them permanently. So choose very well the Pokémon you are going to take pictures of.

However, some players have reported that Smeargle has had some technical problems, such as considerable statistics of attack with errors and certain repetitive movements. This can be logical if you consider that Niantic has tried with this Pokémon to add unique mechanics to the mobile game.

The players that like to have a complete Pokédex, in fact they will not see so much importance to those errors, it is possible that they would be enough with capturing Smeargle, because it is not also a really relevant Pokémon.
