Smeargle is here

BabyGuillou · February 26, 2019, 3:31pm

I think I just might be out of luck. I’ve been doing this since last night and nothing yet…officially taking a break

My phone will die before i get it.

Niantic didn’t get green light for new pokemon so now doing these types of events.

Just took a huge amount of photos. Don’t have to save them to get Smeargle.

Edit: hmm forgot that all taken pics are saved. Just cleared 55 pics.

For some reason i havent had any issues with this at all yet. Not even if my phone is just lying flat on a table.

Somebody people like me

Thats with AR, it ignores the enviroment
AR+ doesnt and requires propper placement

Creepika061116 · February 26, 2019, 10:48pm

Got mine.

Also, new challenge…first person to get 2nd charge move on smeargle is declared ceo of niantic

Cup · February 27, 2019, 6:23am

I’m in on the drinking game and candy

HLAJR · February 27, 2019, 8:32am

I get one last night after a lot of trial and error.

Have been searching for the “lucky” trick and I don’t know if it was really the “Shot with Camera from Inventory” or “the focusing the camera to the floor”

Looks like Lady Luck is in-charge again on this photobombing thing!

Hope this link could add to your luck… Smeargle Catching Info

Tried again last night. I got it after 30 pictures.

bagguille · February 27, 2019, 5:42pm

I got counted in the medal a Smeargle which had escaped.
So it’s the Photobomb which counts, not the capture.

UltraInstinct841 · February 27, 2019, 5:48pm

I will do that challenge

ronnievision · February 27, 2019, 9:00pm

Got Smeargle!

ronnievision · February 27, 2019, 10:33pm

Has anyone been able to get more than 1 Smeargle? or is there a 1 Catch limit?

Creepika061116 · February 27, 2019, 10:35pm

1 catch per day limit

ronnievision · February 27, 2019, 10:41pm

Thanks!

I had luck using my TV as background & another good spot was on top of a lamp. My brother was trying desperately during event yesterday while stopped by raids & couldn’t get him to photobomb any of the pics, he sent me a few too.
