Smeargle · Phantasmal Flames, what to know.
About the Smeargle card
Numbered 80 of 130 in Phantasmal Flames, released in January 2026, Smeargle is a Common, a Basic Colorless-type carrying 80 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Smeargle needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Smeargle Pokédex entry reads: "Once a Smeargle reaches adulthood, it will have other members of its species leave paw prints on its back."
What is Smeargle worth?
Smeargle is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Smeargle before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Smeargle is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Smeargle
Raw copies of Smeargle are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Smeargle is the practical move.
