# Smeargle #123/162 — BREAKthrough

## Summary

Smeargle's Second Coat let decks swap Energy types on the Active Pokémon, a tool for fixing awkward attachments that got some play in the XY era, though it never became a headline staple. A mid-tier Rare in BREAKthrough, it appeals to Gen II fans and Yukiko Baba followers more than to meta chasers. A $0.50 modelled guide, up 9% over 30 days on 13 copies traded, says bulk, with 60 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $22, 44 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
