# Smeargle #30/75 — Neo Discovery

## Summary

Smeargle's Sketch attack borrows from whatever the opponent just did, a fun gimmick that never really carved out a competitive role in the Neo era. As a mid-tier Rare in Neo Discovery, it mostly appeals to Johto completionists and fans of the painter Pokémon. At a $25 modelled guide, with 14 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.08 out of Phantasmal Flames; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
