Each photo is in what looks like a forest and has various multicoloured paint marks on either trees or rocks.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Hey Trainers!

One notable Pok\u00e9mon this could relate to is Smeargle, a dog Pok\u00e9mon that uses its tail to paint, so might we be getting a new form for this Generation II Pok\u00e9mon?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we know nothing at this point.
