The quests in Pokémon Go for the New Pokémon Snap event will mirror those requirements, tasking players to take snapshots of the wild Pokémon they encounter in their world. If you want to capture a shiny Smeargle, you'll need to take enough of snapshots of wild Pokémon and wait for Smeargle to appear.

Smeargle appears in the first 5 snapshots you take in Pokémon when it releases to an event. For the New Pokémon Snap outcome, yous can do this with any of the wild Pokémon you find or whatsoever Pokémon you've already captured and trained up. Smeargle is unique because when you take a snapshot of a Pokémon, have Smeargle appear, and then catch it, the charged moves it can know will be similar to the Pokémon you took a snapshot with.
